4 Dec 2018 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I begin by thanking the Senator for Bungoma County for tabling this Petition on behalf of my country men. The Petition is overdue because the concerns of the people of Kajulu regarding the manner in which the County Government of Kisumu is trying to relocate the dumpsite within the trading centre has a lot of challenges. I met with the people there and agreed that all the procedures be followed before removing the dumpsite which was causing a menace within the city. As far as I am concerned, the procedures were not followed. One ...

4 Dec 2018 in Senate:
I thank the Hon. Shabbir for bringing this Petition. I urge this House to help the people of Kisumu County, especially with the environmental challenges caused by this dumpsite. Secondly, I plead with the County Government of Kisumu not to use this dumpsite as a cash cow. Imagine Kshs100 million spent, but there is nothing to show on the ground. As I speak now, in the supplementary budget of the county government, they have lined up another Kshs200 million for the relocation of this dumpsite. At the end of the day, they would have spent Kshs300 million. If we cannot ...

27 Nov 2018 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Engineer Senator, whom I respect, in order to just stand and engage with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. while ignoring you as the Chair? I have seen him trying to get the attention of Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. He knows the Standing Orders which state that he cannot engage the Senator for Makueni without consulting you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you to welcome the hon. Members and the staff of the great Kisumu City County. This afternoon, I am delighted that we have great hon. Members of Kisumu County. They are here to learn in order to be effective as people who are representing the people of Kisumu County in various matters, especially oversight.

21 Nov 2018 in Senate:
Previously, I discussed with the Clerk of the Senate that in the near future, we, Kisumu County, will put aside a certain amount of money so that we can request the Senate to support capacity building for our hon. Members. We need to strengthen counties so that they can have the right tools to perform their oversight role and effectively handle matters that come before them.

21 Nov 2018 in Senate:
Their mandate is similar to ours here in the Senate and, therefore, we want to equip them with all the transferable information so that they can effectively represent their people in Kisumu County by oversighting the executive – the Governor and his office.

21 Nov 2018 in Senate:
I want to inform them that their work is not on behalf of the executive but to stand firm and protect all the monies that we allocate to that county. They should make sure that each penny that is given to Kisumu County is accounted for. That requires enough courage and people who understand what they are doing; they should be able to take the county government to task whenever funds are misappropriated.

21 Nov 2018 in Senate:
Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko on his nomination to these two important Committees. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko is a very soft-spoken man. Over the years, I have known him as a very straightforward person, with a wealth of knowledge in guiding where there are conflicts. He, therefore, comes in handy. I personally welcome him to our Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunities and Regional Integration because, at this juncture after the ‗handshake,‘ all Kenyans want to live together. Madam Temporary Speaker, I truly believe that Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko will bring an incentive ...
