• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this report that has been brought forward by Sen. Faki. It is good that it has been brought here. Article 204 of the Constitution speaks clearly on Equalization Funds. It is premised on the fact that the far-flung areas that are marginalized should enjoy the basic rights such as water, electricity and all the essentials that are in other areas. At one time, I was the Vice-Chair of the National Council of Nomadic Education in Kenya. Issues came up that there were no schools in North Eastern Kenya ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: In Lugari, there are some areas that have no electricity at all, whereas there are areas that have no accessible roads since colonial times. People are living in a sorry state. When it comes to schools, there are schools constructed out of mud and then the floors are carpeted with cow dung. When we are talking about marginalised areas, they have not been identified. The Constitution does not spell out the specific marginalised areas, it leaves it open so that all Kenyans can benefit from the Equalisation Fund. Even as the Report is being interrogated, there is need to know ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion by Sen. Orengo. It is really unthinkable and painful that the two CSs are implying that Senate is a toothless bulldog. It only barks, but cannot bite because it has no teeth. Their actions are contemptuous and have demeaned the Senate. It is unfortunate that they just decided not to appear. They did not even care to send representatives. It is unfortunate that they also defied the Constitution, which they are supposed to defend and uphold. Madam Deputy Speaker, the President needs to know that the ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. This Motion is very important because Articles of the Constitution are being flouted and there is nothing that we, as a Senate, are doing. There is need for the Senate to assert itself because Parliament has power to summon anyone to appear before it. I am not sure whether we have a law that can compel these CSs who flout Articles of the Constitution to appear before this honourable House. Articles 125 and 153 obligate CSs to appear before the Senate and periodically report of what is happening within their jurisdictions. Therefore, when they are ... view
