• 18 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to join my colleagues in raising concern. For a long time now since the Senate was established, Kenyans have shown hope in the Senate by bringing their Petitions. Fortunately, it is made clear that any Petition is cleared 60 days from reading of the prayers--- view
• 18 May 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
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to second the Special Committee Report on impeachment of the Governor of Wajir County. The County Assembly brought many allegations under two charges. I would like to advice the County Assembly that they are the first line of oversight. In case there are issues, they have to first perform their duties before they bring these allegations to the Senate. The law is clear that if it is a County Executive Committee Member or an accounting officer who is the Chief Officer who has not performed his or her duties, then they have ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: ‘Where the lowest price is above the prevailing market rates, the request for quotations shall be cancelled or terminated in accordance with the cancellation and termination procedures set out in this Act’ If the price of an item is known and the supplier quotes such a high price, as was the case in this instance, the procurement officer should have cancelled the award of the tender. Section 54(4) of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal (PPAD) Act, 2015 states that: view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: ‘Public officers involved in transactions in which standard goods, services and works are procured at unreasonably inflated prices shall, in addition to any other sanctions prescribed in this Act or the Regulations made thereunder, be required to pay the procuring entity for the loss resulting from their actions.’ The law is very clear in cases where a breach has occurred. The public officer involved in that procurement should be held liable. I urge the Wajir County Assembly to take action upon the officers implicated because the officers in question are under their purview of oversight. Transferring blame to the Governor ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: so, we could not rely on the same. Whenever a county assembly decides to prosecute its case, it must give us enough information for us to make the decision they want us to make. The county assemblies have to push and argue their case. It is not the work of the Special Committee to argue their case for them. In the case of Allegation 15 that has been substantiated by the Special Committee, we saw failure in the health sector of the county, which is a devolved function. It is one of the major cornerstones of devolution. Whenever the health ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Personally, I feel that even the law has to be in line with that morality because in this country we had a very long history of misapplication of public funds, which is why all these laws are in. That is why even the Office of the CoB has been created, so as to streamline all these processes. If we follow the law half way by misapplying the money once we get it, then that law needs to be checked. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: We stopped at saying somebody should be held accountable because of that doubt in law which we need to confirm from the CoB so that we get the very clear position so that this abuse of that requirement does not continue because it is happening in many counties. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. with those few comments, I second and urge the House to adopt this Report of the Special Committee. view
