• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Members seem to not be aware. I can hear Sen. Wambua quipping that it is coming to me, it is not. I resigned as the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. This is a straightforward matter. This House had questions about the Huduma view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: . The Cabinet Secretaries came here, many were here. After that Session, the House was, to a great extent, convinced that it was the way to go and we needed to do so. It made sense to be the one stop shop et cetera . The challenge is two things: one, the way Government communicates. When they want something, you will hear them every day talking about it. However, when it is done, they go quiet. We just need a clear communication from the Ministry, what is happening, whether this issue of Kshs1 billion is true. If everybody is getting ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No.47 (1) on a matter of national and, in fact, international concern because this is about Nairobi City County. It is on the current state of Nairobi City County. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Currently, we are facing a tragedy of untold proportions. As I speak, our Nairobi City County that we all love, is mortally ill with one foot in the grave. It is suffering a triple calamity of a Governor with no substantive deputy, a non-functional executive and an Assembly in shambles. Nairobi City County continues to sink further into an abyss of mismanagement and impunity. As anarchy and disorder reigns supreme at the City Hall, services to Nairobi City County citizens have practically ground to a halt. On matters of service provision, the citizens and the people of Nairobi City County ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Last week, I received a report from the Controller of Budget (CoB), that as of October, 2019 Nairobi City County had not used a single shilling of the development budget of the Financial Year 2018/2019. The amounts that have been used are those of recurrent expenditure. So, the citizens are demanding to known what the billions that this House dutifully allocates to Nairobi City County – and other counties as well – are doing to better the plight of our residents. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the county government has failed in delivering critical services enumerated as county functions. As I had ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Statement I brought to this House earlier. The excuse that came that time from the Governor was that the legal framework was not done. The law that was brought I think by the Senate Majority Leader was passed and assented to by the President. The county government is operating without a deputy governor and substantive County Executive Committee Members (CECs). We need them to be properly constituted. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I seek the Senate’s help. This is because when Nairobi is not working, the whole of Kenya does not work. All these questions that we brought to this House from year 2017 have not found closure. We cannot just sit and see a county that is not constituted and operating the way it should. Our Senate has relevant Committees that can take this up. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Everyone has been suspended. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concern by Members. I would like to raise two issues to inform the discussion between a select committee and plenary. There are certain issues that I raised in my statement that are urgent. For example, the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
