• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: maize, yet in my own backyard, I have a lot of maize stock? We are the great eaters of view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir, one of the most confounding things that I grapple with every day in public service, is the fact that some people would rather make money when the people they are supposed to represent are suffering. They have no conscience whatsoever. We hear stories of senior Government officials building houses in places like Karen and putting bullet-proof windows. These are individuals, who just the other day were in the streets with nothing to show for themselves, licking their wounds of defeat. Today as we speak, we do not even know what we are as a country. Are ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: who had not been paid and needed to come and see me in my office. I did not object to that. In fact, they passed through a reverend. They came to my office and gave me a narration that was quite interesting. They said that they have not been farming because of frustration for the past 17 years. Some of them told me that they supplied 5,000 bags and others 10,000 bags of maize. There were some few people who looked genuine. The moment I told them to give me the papers, they never returned in my office, and I ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Commission on Administrative Justice (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 6 of 2019). The right to administrative action is a right that is enshrined in Article 47 on Fair Administrative Action Act. The Constitution is clear on how we are supposed to ensure that Kenyans get the services that they deserve but that has not been the case. The Commission on Administrative Justice is a split in Article 59 of the Constitution with regard to the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission which in the wisdom of implementation, was ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: due process. That is because we are still dealing with issues of how public officials react to requests by the public. In fact, the members of the public have been forced to pay for services that are supposed to be free. This has been shared as if it is a function of the devolved governments. The bureaucratisation of county governments has not allowed people to appreciate the social welfare mechanism around the institution of governorship and Members of County Assemblies as to occasion proper service delivery. In the first five years of devolution, we saw the governors buy ambulances that ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is interesting is that even when CAJ writes to these entities, they take forever to respond. There are two letters in my office. One is by the CAJ asking the Kenya Dairy Board to respond, and it has been over a year. I have another letter by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection to Kakuzi Limited on that gentleman whose hand was chopped off. Many people come to my office - as a Senator - so that I can help them access administrative justice. I congratulate Sen. Were because it means that there will ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: I remember when I used to work in the public service, maladministration and inattention, and all those kinds of big words that are used to demonstrate lack of service delivery, were being domesticated around the office of the public information, where I used to be a public communications manager. However, that is not enough. We need to have a kind of referral and curative mechanism, so that we are able not just to go for court review or tribunal as envisaged in the Constitution, but also how we can have superiors in forms of decision making being able to cure ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: I would also want also add that much as we have a sunset clause on the issue of human rights - because it is the gamut of human rights - we need to also separate, so that we also create a system that shows how we can improve our public service delivery at the county level. view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I strongly support and reiterate that we must also not be caught up in the contestations around bi-cameralism. Let us just clearly state unequivocally the role to the Senate with regards to oversight of such functions. view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support. view
