• 13 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of West Pokot County, I vote yes on count “a,” yes on count “b” and yes on count “c.” view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I also rise to support the adoption of this Report from the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government. Together with the team that went to Eldoret to listen to the six counties, we met on 14th November, 2013 and we were surprised that the team leaders of the counties who are supposed to be the governors terribly failed us. They did not attend to present their requests which they had made on paper. This gave us an impression that some of the people who have been given the responsibility of running ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that those contractors who are doing rural electrification need to be serious. If they are not working, then the authority that gave out the contract must terminate them and get the right people. The other area that was mentioned was roads. This is an area that is very confused even up to now where the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) is handling some roads and county government is also handling some roads and funds. In some very remote areas in our counties, for example, West Pokot, you can easily have duplication of duties where ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I concur with my colleague, Sen. Kajwang, that things are now being done upside down to the extent that some of the schools that were being managed by the local county councils are purportedly being handled from Nairobi and no shilling whatsoever is going there. Even if there is a leakage in the roof, the county governments will just fold their hands because they have been told not to do it. In my county, there is no single school that was ever built by the Government. Even the famous schools that were built by our fore fathers ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that information. It is not only in West Pokot. Even the ones in Bungoma and Trans Nzoia are completely mismatched. This Senate needs to come in and see how we can correct them. We should not copy a system that is not working. We need to move on and make sure that ours are working. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: First of all, you are seated in the wrong side. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my colleague did not understand me. Sen. Wetangula rose to say that even the national Government has not aligned the systems. Then I said that since we are in devolution we should not copy what is not working. I am particularly keen to see that we must have a technical person particularly in the counties. You cannot have an adult education teacher as a chief officer in charge of 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
• 26 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion as brought by the Senate Majority Leader stating the calendar for the Senate for the whole of this year. It stipulates exactly what we are supposed to do, when and the real Business of that particular time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you note that all of us remember that it is exactly one year since we came in as the Senate. There have been a lot of challenges that we have gone through. Indeed, as we go into year two, we need to look back and take stock of ... view
