• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: People are fair-weather in this House; that when things suit you, you forget people who have stood with you. There cannot be any justification as to why those children next to Korogocho in Dandora who are walking on faeces as I speak, you say they are not marginalised areas, yet we are talking about sanitation. Those are the words the Chairman has used. That is sanitation, access to water and healthcare. There might be many buildings called hospitals in Nairobi, but are there drugs? Why do we have a high mortality rate in the City? Because of that, I completely ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Kindly ask Sen. Olekina to stop arguing from his seat. He will have his turn to speak and support or oppose this report. It is good that county governments have been brought on board. These projects will not be implemented by county governments, but the national Government within counties. There must be a different approach to how we sort out and bring people up to speed. As I said earlier, my issues of water in Nairobi need not just an intervention in Nairobi City County, but also in Murang’a where we have Ndakaini, Ndarugu River and the Northern Collector Tunnel. ... view

• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: I thank my sister because she sees the point. There is no way I can support the implementation of something that I see as completely unfair. The regulations are giving effect to the implementation of the marginalisation policy. How would you support that and tell your people in Nairobi City County that you are taking care of their interest? Those are the interests of my people. I cannot explain consciously to the people in Mukuru Kwa Reuben why a policy to help people get water has been passed and Nairobi City County has been left out, yet they deserve that. ... view

• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we already have a problem with this. If you allow this to pass, then they will be implementing that which is patently unfair for the majority of the people of Kenya. It further says: “(ii) the costing of the projects, the recommendations by CRA and guidelines issued by the board.” Additionally, nothing constrains or restricts the implementation to what has been recommended by the CRA. If the Senate was creative in many respects because it is a House of equalization, we could have a designed an even better matrix on how we implement the Equalization Fund. Otherwise, ... view

• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have always assumed that the Senate Majority Leader knows his truths. He knows who knows what happened. Just because something that I opposed then passed, does not mean that I accept it now. If it was unfair then, it is still unfair now and I still do not believe in it. Instead of the Senate Majority Leader telling me that it was passed, he should explain to me how I will tell Mama Akinyi that it is okay for her to be on a sewer and that she has not been covered in the sanitation policy. ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. It takes two to tango. I will, therefore, do what they have done. Is it in order for Sen. Olekina to mislead this House that there is a difference between neglect in what I am talking about; that the national Government and County Government of Nairobi have neglected Nairobi, but what we are dealing within the equalization fund is different. view
