• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Murang‟a County for several years has been receiving disclaimer reports. One of the reasons is because the governor has been obstructing officers from the Office of the Auditor-General to conduct their work. No wonder the reports that we have tabled here for Murang‟a County, which we are now discussing, are very negative. For example, we have one major endeavour called the Murang‟a County Creameries (MCC). It is a very good and noble idea, which was started by Murang‟a County Government because it sought to process the milk for the poor Murang‟a farmer. Indeed, I am happy that several cooperatives in ... view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Currently, farmers are getting Kshs30 per litre, which they deliver to MCC instead of Kshs35. The transporters who take milk to MCC have not been paid. Employees of MCC have not been paid for many months. The reason is that the procurement that was done by MCC for various components of that factory; whether it is the boiler or processing plant, they delivered below the capacity that was ordered by Murang‟a County Government. A subcontractor by the name Red Brick Ltd won that tender. Instead of supplying as per the specifications in the award letter, he brought machines that did ... view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is the truth. Any governor who is supporting BBI, no action is being taken against him if he or she misappropriates funds. When I raise issues, I am now being pursued left, right and centre. It is unfair.! view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: I am aware of a meeting that happened in China on 9th June, 2019. Top Murang‟a County officials went to China to investigate how come what was delivered in Murang‟a County was not what was procured as per the original contract. The Red Brick Limited could not explain that disparity. view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when I raise these issues, I am happy that some entities took up these issues when this Committee raised them. However, every time I raise these issues in Murang‟a County, the governor becomes personal and insults me. He does not respect my constitutional mandate as a Senator. Today, he mobilized people to go on live television to insult me. I am a lawyer and I will sue anyone who defamed my name today in a court of law. view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: As Senators, we shall not be intimidated as we pursue our oversight mandate. These are matters that are documented by the CPAIC, where I am a proud Member. We shall continue telling Murang‟a County Government that their books must be audited by 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
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I challenge the various constitutional offices that we have, which have the powers to investigate corruption, to take action against people who have been mentioned adversely by these reports. There are several governors, notwithstanding their political position. That is my case. view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: the Auditor-General. We must tell the Governor of Murang‟a county that even if some goons are paid to defame me, I will continue talking the truth. view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have said that there are good things in the BBI. However, for a governor who is supporting BBI, no action is being taken against him even if he has misappropriated funds. That is very unfair. If you have done something wrong, even if you are a pro-BBI governor, you should be taken to a court of law. view
