• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Sen. Kasanga told me that the Committee on Roads and Transportation had a meeting about Nairobi without informing the Senator for Nairobi. If I am dealing with something about Bomet in my Committee, I will invite the Senator for Bomet. I cannot deal with something concerning Nairobi without inviting the Senator for Nairobi City County. They had a meeting with the NMS. I joined the meeting when it had already started. That was unfair. I must protest because I have never done that to any Senator as a Chair. For all the committees I have been chairing, I have had ... view

• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. If you look at the Statements under Standing Order No.51(1)(b), there are some Chairs who were not around. I beg your indulgence because I had a Statement on Standing Order No. 51(1) (a), which I am told has been brought down from the Speaker’s Office about Members Statements to my Committee. I wanted to give an update. If you can allow that we just do so very quickly, so that Members are appraised on the issues they addressed to the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. There was that gap that has been ... view

• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a Statement by the Committee Chairperson on Labour and Social Welfare under Standing Order No.51(1)(a). The Standing Order No.51 (1) (a) provides that- “A Chair of a Committee can make a Statement relating to a matter for which the Committee is responsible.” Madam Temporary Speakers, in 2020, we have dealt with 13 Statements. I am making this cognizant of the fact that we will go on recess next Tuesday. There are certain Statements I would like to appraise Members. I saw Sen. Faki’s, and Sen. Omanga’s Statements. The two Statements, one ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: 2019. This is a very important legislation that this House passed. The last Senate failed to do it thrice. We struggled with it and we have passed it. It is in transition phase. As a Committee on Labour and Social Welfare together with all stakeholders, we are going to look at so far, the progress they have made on implementation. This is Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA), LAPFUND, LAPTRUST, the county governments and all stakeholders. We will give a report to the House. There was a Statement sought by Sen. Petronilla Were on alleged frustrations faced by retired public servants or ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Members for being diligent and always having at least 88 per cent turn out in the Committee. My apologies and condolences to Sen. Cherargei who left my Committee. I know he is very sad that he is no longer a Member of my Committee. Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura does a good job. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view

• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: First, I will start with what Sen. Omogeni has asked for. I am not aware of that Statement. Maybe it got lost in transmission but I am ready and willing to deal with it, if it is send to us. In fact, if the protocols allowed, we can deal with the issue of Sasini as we deal with the James Finlay Kenya Limited issues in Bomet and Kericho counties because the matters are similar. They are about the laying off, of casuals procedurally or un- procedurally. view
