• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am guided, but I continue urging the Government to be impartial, to ensure that this Report is implemented 100 per cent. We must ensure that action is taken against the governors that have been mentioned adversely by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), in particular. I am aware of various files that are lying in the office of the DPP, where there have been recommendations for prosecution arising out of alleged misdeeds on matters county finances. However, so far, the DPP has taken no action. This House and Kenyans are watching. I will not ... view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: The producer milk price in Murang‟a is currently about Kshs30 per litre. I have no doubt that if we curb corruption in our county and all other counties, the producer price of milk will be about Kshs60 per litre. It is possible. For instance, if the factory that was mooted by the County Government of Murang‟a for processing milk was operating efficiently, I have no doubt that the common person in Murang‟a would be getting better value for his investment. Madam Temporary Speaker, if we curb corruption, the poor primary school children aged between three and five years, and go ... view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: were it not for corruption. Many nursery schools would have been built were it not for corruption. There are several health centers that would have been built, but because of corruption, they are not. I am aware that most of our nurses, doctors and clinical officers are employees of the county government. They are now crying because of underpayment and their working conditions under the counties are not proper. I have no doubt the problems have arisen because of corruption. It is now time for us, as a Senate, to rise up and say „no‟ by adopting this Report and ... 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: Madam Temporary Speaker, this country has devolved billions of shillings since 2013. I am happy that there is a new proposal to devolve more funds to the counties. As a House, we must ensure that we guard against corruption, whether that corruption is in Murang‟a County, Nyamira County or Kajiado County. This Committee is one of our most important Committees so far as matters oversight are concerned. I urge various investigative agencies, which are yet to send a representative to that Committee as ex officio members, to please, do so. I congratulate the few organizations that have so far sent ... view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: action, so that we ensure that these people who have „eaten‟ billions of shillings from our counties are taken to court and jailed. It pains me when I see children who do not go to school because some governors have stolen money. When I see that money is now being used for political purposes, to lure our citizens in politics, it pains me. I know that it is possible to do so within a generation. Singapore was able to move from being a Third World country to a First World country within a generation. In 1978, China was a very ... view
