• 17 May 2021 in Senate: to the governor. In the event that maybe the governor has refused to implement the ruling of the House, then it can be an issue, which can be taken against the governor. The first impeachment of Governor Wambora, for example, among other charges, he refused to sack the county secretary who was impeached by the county assembly. In that case, they had done their part and it was the governor who was not ready to do his part, and that is why it was an impeachment ground. In this case, the county assembly brought issues, which could be attributed in ... 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: relevant officer and the Governor fails to implement, then the governor can be held accountable for not taking action against his officer. The Committee advised that the County Assembly takes action against public officers who break procurement laws. By doing that, they can remedy the breaking of procurement laws at the county level, instead of escalating it to the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to reiterate the observations of the Mover of the Motion. The timeframe of carrying out the impeachment process is not enough. We need to amend our Standing Orders, so that we have enough time ... view

• 17 May 2021 in Senate: County Executive of Wajir says that the employee of the health department passed on due to power failure. A gadget costing about Kshs5.8 million was required to connect power and have the 1,000 KVA generator to be connected to all electronic equipment in the hospital. We wondered what the Wajir County Executive did with the Kshs194 million that they were unable to procure a gadget costing Kshs5.8 million. That was a matter of life and death for the people of Wajir County. The Committee considered that issue as a gross violation because the Governor failed to protect the lives of ... 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
