• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Whenever the Government wants to do any projects and it borrows money from international organisations, it must have its contribution upfront, so that Kenyans do not suffer because of laxity of the Government of Kenya. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If my memory serves me right, when Sen. Wetangula asked for that Statement, the Speaker was very clear and if I am not wrong, he even gave 14th February, 2019, as the day on which the reply should be brought. Therefore, it was very specific. Even for Sen. Olekina to say that they were working on that Statement---- I thought that before they could bring a report, they would also have invited Sen. Wetangula together with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Energy so that he can clear issues there so that we do not also ... view
• 12 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Motion on the approval of Senators to serve in the Senate Business Committee, which is a very important Sessional Committee because it prioritizes the business of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all the Members proposed to serve in the Committee are capable and can drive the business of this House. I would just like to urge Senators, and especially the leadership of the House, that we have to take the business of this House seriously. We have had incidences where we had to postpone voting on Bills due to ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. I would like to also thank Sen. Wambua for bringing up this issue. I am, however, surprised, because I worked in the Civil Service a few years back. Before, we used to have budgets and at every end of the financial year, whatever money you had left was sent back to the national Treasury. Therefore, how counties are generating pending bills is a surprise because none of their money goes back. Once you have a budget, you should have a procurement plan that you follow. Whatever you procure, you must have it in your ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Taking into account the fact that we are going into recess and the direction that you gave, we will endeavour to see if we can have something before 17th December, 2018. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Wetangula for bringing up this issue because the Lake Turkana Wind Power project is in my county. There are issues which communities have with it and I do not think this is the right place to bring it up because they are in court. However, what he said is not in any court. It is a concern for Kenyans. The issue of the transmission line which he said was done at Kshs20 billion was actually done at Kshs28 billion because of the Isolux Wind Power Company going bankrupt and introducing a ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to issue a Statement relating to the activities of the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation, pursuant to Standing Order No.51 (1)(b) for the period commencing 9th August to 9th November 2018. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No. 51 (1)(b) provides that at least every three months, a Committee Chairperson is expected to make a Statement relating to the activities of the Committee. In fulfillment of that provision, I wish to make a Statement with regard to the Standing Committee for Roads and Transportation for the period commencing 9th August ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Two of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) which was referred to the Committee on 30th May 2018. The Committee held joint sittings with the Lands, Environment and Natural Resources Committee, where the National Lands Commission (NLC), the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) and the Kenya Railways were invited. The Committee has written to the NLC and the KeNHA, to provide information on the status of the compensation for the residents of Utheri wa Lari and that is still awaited from the two institutions. The second Petition is delayed compensation for affected persons along the Eldoret Town bypass which was referred ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: they have made some progress on that front, but we are still to sort out a few more on the same issue. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, the other visit was the assessment of the Outering Road Project, which was done in July, 2018. The State Department of Infrastructure and Public Works, the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and Sino Hydro – who are the contractors – accompanied the Committee in this visit. One of the observations by the Committee was that there was this building, Taj Mall, which is at the junction between the Eastern Bypass and Outering Road. The ... view
