• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in raising my voice with regard to the way in which county governments are not following the laid down procedures to the extent that when the budget is done, they are tailor-made to certain projects which are not necessary in the counties. I have in mind when it is the end of the financial year like today, you will be surprised that every county government is quick to transfer money from every department to some very strange votes so that the money can be exhausted. I wonder what happened ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, adding further to what the Senator has raised, there is only one Ministry of Education in Kenya for private and public universities. The list that Sen. Mwakulegwa tabled was from one or two universities. We have over 20 public universities today. We do not know how many fall in the category that the Senator has already tabled. Could the Chairman through the Ministry, table the list of all those lecturers that are suffering and have not been paid their dues? Some of these universities include, Jaramogi Oginga Ondiga University, Chuka University and other public and private ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. It has come at the right time. We are now entering the third year of devolution. ` I want to thank Sen. Madzayo that he found it fit to look at the law from the perspective of Kilifi County and was able to note what is missing and is causing problems in almost all the counties. When County Public Service Boards (CPSBs) send out notices of recruitment, there are a number of malpractices which have been noted in some places, for example, corruption. I am even told of a young man ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: I am on a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Could the Senator clarify what she has said? She has said that when Jesus was looking for his disciples, there was a criterion. I do not know how the criterion is related to what this Bill is proposing. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to clarify this for the Members who are not Christians. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the criteria for being a follower of Christ is stated. You must accept Christ as your personal saviour and follow him. So, that criteria cannot be compared with how we should get good county government workers. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, she has given me a new title. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second this Bill. For the very first time and, in consultation with people in the agricultural sector, we have a Bill that is specifically dedicated to food security. We have always had policies that have been driving the demand and provision of food, from the 1963 Sessional Papers and so on. Even with the over 240 parastatals that we had before, there is none that has always really come out to state boldly and clearly that there is need for a law dedicated to ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues have noted, these Petitions are raising pertinent issues that have come up as a result of devolution. It is time that we critically looked at them. Nearly every county is affected, particularly in the health sector. It looks like diseases are aware that the function was devolved and thus the rise in the number of problems in the counties than before. It is good we model it along the teacher management model so that it is easier to address those problems and find out how we can manage them. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have two Statements to seek. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations concerning insecurity along the Turkana and West Pokot County borders. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) State if he is aware that the leadership of the two counties entered into a mutual agreement that as a first step to end insecurity in the area, no construction or any other development should be undertaken by either side without the concurrence and full participation of the other. As a result ... view
