• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I thank all the Senators who have made robust contributions, especially Sen. Halakhe and Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve who are present. As I make my concluding observations, I want to contrast two countries. The first country is Malaysia. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad was the father of the nation who was in office for many years. Thereafter, other prime ministers were elected and served diligently. However, when Najib Razak was elected as the prime minister, he stole a whopping Kshs70 billion. This made people very angry and during the last elections, they elected Prime ... view
• 17 May 2018 in Senate: Asante sana Bi. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa fursa hii. Nasimama kuunga mkono Hoja hii ya kusitisha vikao vyetu ili twende kuhudhuria kongamano ambalo ni muhimu sana. Hata hivyo, kuna mambo tata ambayo yanajitokeza kuhusu vile serikali gatuzi zinafanya kazi zao. Hivi leo Gavana wa Nairobi, Gov. Mike Sonko, amependekeza kumteuwa Bw. Miguna Miguna ambaye amesema: “I am not boarding.” Kwa hivyo, jambo hilo limetupiliwa mbali. Inaonekana tulikosea mahali. Kuna magavana ambao wamejitokeza tayari kama mashabiki wazuri wa maendeleo. Kwa mfano, kuna Gov. Oparanya ambaye tulipokuwa katika kongamano la ugatuzi, tuliona maendeleo ambayo amefanya. Vile vile, Gov. (Prof.) Kivutha Kibwana ... view
• 16 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to second the Motion as moved by my able Chairperson concerning the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. From the outset, there are some issues that were raised. We had robust engagements with various stakeholders in order to ensure that we have a Bill that speaks to their concerns within the devolution spectrum. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be noted that we have enhanced allocations to the counties to the tune of Kshs372 billion. Out of this, Kshs25 billion is conditional grants from the national Government for various functions of the county ... view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a serious issue because a lot of business transacted on the Floor of this House is done through Statements. However, the Chairpersons and Vice Chairpersons of Committees cannot be the representatives of the Executive in this House. When I was in the National Assembly and we tried to create a General Purposes Committee, there was protest from the Executive. They said that 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
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Asante sana Mhe. Naibu Spika kwa kunipa fursa hii. Nampongeza Sen. Kihika kwa sababu ya kuleta Hoja hii Bungeni, hususan kwa sababu yeye pia juzi, alikuwa na mkasa wa wale vijana ambao walipoteza maisha yao wakiwa katika shughuli zao za kampeni. Pia, ni mama mwenye nguvu kwa sababu kama Seneta wa Kaunti hiyo, basi ni wajibu wake kutetea watu wake. Mhe. Naibu Spika, jambo la kushangaza ni kwamba unaposikiza vile ambavyo watu wanasema kuhusu hayo mabwawa ya Bw. Patel, ni kana kwamba, hakukuwa na ubaya wowote uliotendeka, ilhali tuna ona kwamba kumekuwa na uharibifu wa mali kwa hali ya juu.Watu ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I do not see the Division of Revenue Bill attached to the Order Paper. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in Senate: Fair enough, thank you. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, when an amendment has been introduced, Members are given a chance to contribute because it is like Second Reading. While I agree with the proposal by Sen. (Eng.) Maina, I find it a bit interesting that the nominee to be approved through public participation by the county assembly is supposed to be proposed by the Senator. How can a Senator who is supposed to oversight a governor participates in nominating a candidate? It should be governor to nominate his or her running mate. That is totally out of order because it goes against the spirit of separation ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion on unity of purpose between His Excellency the President, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and the former Prime Minister, Rt. hon. Raila Odinga. I can authoritatively comment about these two great gentlemen because I served as a Member of the National Assembly, courtesy of Rt. hon. Raila Odinga who nominated me. Today, I am serving as hon. Senator because of his Excellency the President, Hon. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta who nominated me. On a light note, our people out there, are saying Uhuru Tibim and Raila Tialala just to show the kind ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the amendments. This is one of those Bills that lapsed in the last Parliament for I remember discussing it in the National Assembly and it is important that we expedite it. In fact, while still on that issue, we need to do something to this House because it appears that we have very few Bills and we are engaging in Statements as if a lot of the work of this Senate is on Statements. The core business of Members is to pass legislation because no matter how good the Statements ... view
