• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank Sen. Sakaja and the Labor and Social Welfare Committee for being prompt and following up these issues. These are individuals who have exhausted the means that they could address the issues. That is why they brought these issues to the Senate. If it reaches a point where now the individual is called, the employer is contacted and issues are raised and are sorted out, Kenyans have hope that the Senate as it were has at least given them another chance and it goes out to the employers because we know of ... view

• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: and the Clerk cannot access their offices. That is why they could not even present the responses required of them. The same situation is still in other counties. I know of Kisii County which has a similar issue although they are sorting it out. The Speaker has been impeached and he has gone to court.

The Board is complete and it has a vice chair elected by the Members. We have view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: been engaging county assemblies when looking at audit reports and we have been insisting as the Senate Committee on County Public Accounts (CPAIC) and Investments that the vice chair should be there in the absence of the Speaker who is the chair. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whenever the Speaker is absent, we have been clear that the Board is not properly constituted to appear before the Committee. We have always insisted that the vice chair has to be there. Sometimes, Speakers are removed and for the operations of the House, it is the Deputy Speaker who takes over. What about ... view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: given amount. Even MCAs do not have the benefit of knowing the programme and how that money is spent. The governor submits through the County Executive Committee (CEC) for Roads to KRB a list of the roads they intend to spend that money on. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had asked a question and I got the KRB reports for 2017/ 2018 and 2018/2019 financial years.

• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: roads they are doing, KeRRA also does roads. The KeRRA roads are basically done by the Members of Parliament (MPs).

Then the regional manager is just a secretary to that and the four members from CDF must have a chair and a vice chair from there.
