• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is the people who voted for me in Nairobi City County who added that prefix. Who am I to disagree with them?

• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: Asante. Nampa Sen. Kang'ata heko kwa kupata jiko kirasmi. Hapo awali alikuwa hajapata jiko. Bw. Naibu Spika, kwanza ningependa kumshukuru Rev. Muganda ambaye ameleta ombi hili katika Seneti. Ni kweli kuwa watu wetu wengi sana wameumia katika Jiji la Nairobi. Hasa nazungumza kuhusu wale ambao walifurushwa kutoka kwa makao yao kule Kibera. Najua kwamba idadi haiwezi kuwa ile amesema, lakini kuna watu ambao walifukuzwa wakati ule. Watu wengi wamekosa nafasi ya kurudi na kuanza maisha yao--- view
• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: Bw. Naibu Spika, hawa ni watu ambao tangu wafurushwe makwao, wamekuwa wakitazama kwa runinga kwa miaka wengine wakipata fidia katika maeneo mengine ya taifa letu. Hili ni jambo ambalo lazima liagaliwe kikamilifu. Hatutazungumza mambo ya IDPs milele katika taifa letu. Wale IDPs waliopata fidia ni wale waliokuwa kwenye mahema. Hata hivyo, tunajuwa kuwa katika jamii zingine ni vigumu sana kuwacha watu kwa hema. Watu walijiunga na wengine. Kwa lugha ya Kimombo wanaitwa integrated IDPs. Wengi wao ndio wako na hii shida na ni muhimu kuangalia jambo hili. Kuna wale ambao walifurushwa wakati wa ghasia baada ya uchaguzi wa 2007. Lakini ... view
• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank the Committee that is ably led by my good friend, Sen. M. Kajwang’, who went to a very good school, for the work they have been putting in. We have complained severally on the Floor of this House about the backlog of these reports. Our primary role is oversight and we needed to get the understanding of what is happening in your Committee. We have made several suggestions. I sympathise with the Senator for Nakuru County right now, because this is the Audit Report of the Executive of Nakuru County for ... view

• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to make a statement pursuant to Standing Order No.47(1) which provides that a Senator may make a statement on a matter of countywide, inter-county, national, regional or international concern or on a matter of general topical concern. On Monday, 17th September, 2018, the Governor of Nairobi City County made an impromptu visit to Pumwani Maternity Hospital in Kamukunji Constituency in Nairobi City County. During the visit where the said Governor disguised himself as a boda boda passenger so as to catch the hospital officials off guard, several issues were unearthed. During his visit, dead ... view
• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to comment and to give my thoughts on the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule for Fiscal Year 2018/19. I would like to associate myself with the sentiments expressed by many of my colleagues. This is possibly one of the most important functions of a Senator. Our work is to find money to take to the counties. I would like to tell the people of Nairobi City County that we have Kshs15.8 billion today according to this Schedule based on the formula that has been there before and based on internal discussions ... view

• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: He has retreated from the House. It is important that when a decision is being made on division of revenue; before we go to the horizontal division amongst counties, we have to make sure that the decision of how much money we are giving to that level of government is an objective decision based on the actual cost of running that level of devolution. Thereafter, we can go to what we call the Intergovernmental Transfer of Money which the Constitution has set at a minimum of 15 per cent. I must applaud the fact that the Jubilee Government has never ... view
