• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we do not want to give the Cabinet Secretary (CS) excuses. Our procedure is seven days. We will, therefore, cause a letter to go out possibly by tomorrow, then invite the CS for Thursday. I have committed to talk to the CS as well even as the letter is on the conveyer belt because of our procedures. Maybe, we should also change our Standing Orders to allow for electronic communication. This is because Parliament and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government are near each other, but it takes a week for the letter to ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we will deal with that by correspondence. We will write to Bomet County. I apologize to the Senator of Bomet. He knows why I am saying that. We were there the other day. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know that their governor is out of the country; he is in Greece. However, we will do the correspondence because it is the water service company and many other counties that have not been remitting. In fact, for us, on top of that specific one, we will write to the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) and these other statutory bodies. ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is no need to debate this. I understand public finance better. Article 219 says that each county must be assured of its allocation without any reduction. That is true. What the Senate can do is to specify and ring-fence; that this certain amount from the county‟s allocation must be used for this purpose. We can bring a Motion to debate that. I know what I am talking about. It has been done before by this House in the last Senate and it can be done. If out of Kisumu County‟s money, there is Kshs5 billion and ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Asante sana Bw. Spika wa Muda. Ndiyo maana nilikuwa ninataka kumwarifu Seneta wa Mombasa. Tulikutana na hao mawakala ambao wako katika vikundi viwili, ambapo wamejisajili pamoja, kama association . Tuliwasikiliza na pia wale wafanyikazi ambao wako kule. Ndiyo maana tumependekeza katika ripoti hii ya kwamba hao mawakala wote wapigwe msasa, ili kudhibitisha ya kwamba wanafanya kazi yao kupitia sheria iliyopo, katika NationalEmployment Authority Act na huo msasa ukipigwa, waweze kusajiliwa upya na serikali. Kuna wengi kama yule ambaye amemtaja, ambao kukitokea shida anarusha mikono juu. Hataki kuwajibika wala kumsaidia yule msichana. Hayo ni licha ya kuwa wamepewa pesa, hata zile ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am grateful for the Senators who have contributed to the debate on this report. I affirm that the reason why we chose to make it a report that needs a resolution is because of these serious recommendations that the Senate needs to pass. I am grateful to Sen. Kihika who was part of the delegation that did this tour. I am also grateful to Sen. Murkomen who, in as much as had a different view initially, finally saw the light in terms of the temporary suspension of migration of domestic workers. I am grateful to ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in as much as you have used your discretion because I have replied, I must give that clarification. This does not touch on individuals who go to places like Dubai. Sen. Olekina, I saw the video you posted of three lovely Kenyan ladies from Nyeri who you found on the streets of Dubai. I am sure they are the ones who identified you because your hair and height stands out. They said they went there to look for greener pastures on their own. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: This is specific to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia because there is a protocol. Even in their own country, you will come in as an individual looking for job unless you come in through the Musaned system which I have exhaustively explained. Once this is done, it is only applying to that one specific jurisdiction because that is where we are getting these cases of deaths and they have that system. However, a Kenyan who is going to look for a job in Qatar or Dubai can do so. They are many in those countries. In fact, I was chatting ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Secondly, it does not apply to those who are there already who wish to continue with their employment. However, we have said that anyone who is in distress and is stuck there must be brought back. We want database and an accountability on all of them. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: That is the proposal. I thank you. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is always a joy listening to Sen. M. Kajwang‟. He is one of those who I have a hard time in concealing education. It just comes out. He has done a brilliant job espousing the true nature of devolution and the tenets of our Constitution. This is timely. At a time when we are grappling with a practical example of transfer of functions, I am grateful to the Committee. Sen. Olekina has been passionate about this issue. During our oversight meetings with NMS and Nairobi City County Government many times he has insisted that they ... view
