• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the adoption of the CPAIC report of the Senate on the Auditor General’s Report for Nakuru County for the FY 2013/2014. This is an old report and the Committee which handled it was the Committee for the first Senate. That is how far we are from doing a proper audit of what is happening. Things took place a long time ago, yet we are commenting on them now. That is serious, because we are not providing effective oversight if we are handling reports four or five years down the line. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senate ... view
• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support the Motion that the Senate adopts the report of the Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments Committee on the Public Investment on the inquiry into financial operations of Kilifi County Executive for the Financial Year 2013/2014. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the people of Marsabit County and on my own behalf, I send my sincere condolences to the affected families. From what I got from the news today, one family lost two school-going children who were not sick and who had gone for a trip. That is double tragedy for that particular family. As my colleagues have said, something has to be done about law enforcement. We do not lack laws; what we lack is enforcement, and it is high time that our police officers on the road got serious. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 24 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. No government can claim to be sovereign if it cannot feed its people. For the last 50 years as Kenyans, we have had a centralised Government, where everything was decided from Nairobi. Because of that, very little has been percolating to the rest of Kenyans who are far from Nairobi. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 19 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Kasanga for coming up with this Motion because these are things that some of us have been trying to discuss with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development and relevant authorities, especially the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA). We have been urging them to take it upon themselves to develop the relevant standards. I think they will be more serious about it because it is now from the Senate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as the Motion says, transport is important for any development. For any movement of goods and services, we ... view
• 18 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Petition. We know that the Constitution is very clear on how we come up with urban areas and cities. That is why we have the Urban Areas and Cities Act. However, we also know the Constitution stresses very much on public participation and that is why we do have devolution. We need to amend that part of the Act which says that ‘notwithstanding these other requirement, the governor can go ahead---.’ This could be unconstitutional because it is like the governor is given power to override the requirement of ... view
• 17 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank Sen. Olekina for coming up with this amendment. The principal Act is clear, but the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a Member of the Senate Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. I can remember we had this issue before us. It is serious because when these plans are approved, I am sure the relevant authorities are aware. Even if they are not aware, if it is WARMA, it has officers within that county and sub county level. Therefore, it is a matter of officers not taking their work seriously. We have been seeing the affected Kenyans complaining very much on television stations. We need to go to the ground and investigate to ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in commending Sen. Wako for coming up with this Bill. If you look at the Constitution of Kenya 2010, one of the main clear benefits we got, as country, is devolution. If you look at Article 174 on devolution, which is also quoted in this Bill, it states that one of the objects of devolution is:- “to give powers of self-governance to the people and enhance the participation of the people in the exercise of the powers of the State and in making decisions affecting them;” That is one reason ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Khaniri for this Statement, which I support. I join my colleagues in urging that we need to go a step further and have the Committee interrogate this issue. We know very well that health is an important right for all Kenyans. We also have two levels of government which are supposed to be cooperating, but the national Government seems to be making decisions for the county governments without consulting them. As the Senate, which is supposed to protect county governments, we need to come in and ensure that county governments are consulted. ... view
