• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, permit me to read Article 6(2) of the Constitution, because many people treat county governments as if they are appendages of the national Government. I have read it over and over. It states that:- “The Governments at the national and county levels are distinct and inter- dependent and shall conduct their mutual relations on the basis of consultation and cooperation.” None shall look down upon any other level of Government and try to lecture it on how they will run their affairs. They must appreciate that they are all governed under the law. When it comes to ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we must protect Kenyans who are defending this constitution. We must respect those who are saying that resources must be allocated in the right manner. I will say, for the umpteenth time, that there was no Appropriation Bill that was passed by Parliament. That Bill is null and void. We cannot continue debating that there is money that is supposed to be given to Senate. The Senate deserves, as a matter of right, resources to carry out its functions. It is not a token. We are not borrowing. Someone should not think that he will bribe the ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: and expect that the National Assembly will perform its responsibility to ensure that our counties are resourced. Lastly, Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen two arguments being made out there that are very erroneous. I hope that the media and the country is listening. I hate this idea that every time we raise constitutional matters, like the ones we raised today or we fight for resources to go to counties, it is cheapened by the media and debators out there. It is reduced to such a constitutional debate that is so important about division of revenue. It is reduced to ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Is it Number 2? No, he is Petitioner Number 4 in this very important Petition, which is otherwise known as The Case . Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move and invite Sen. Orengo to proceed from there. view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank all the Senators for their weighty contributions. I can see they are very motivated towards what we are going to do on Tuesday. I, therefore, do not want to anticipate debate but just to appreciate everybody for their very succinct comment on this very important subject matter. I beg to move. view

• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as a large-scale maize farmer, I am distinguished from Sen. Mwaura. I have a lot of interest on this matter. The crux of this issue from both Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and Sen. Wetangula who led the Committee that dealt with the maize issue, is basically the implementation of the recommendation of that Committee. We have become a nation of so many reports and few doers or implementers. As a country, we pride ourselves as being the nation that took a particular report to Botswana or Ethiopia and they improved their education. You can see how they ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: developed and disguised to protect matters corruption, yet the real corruption is the policies that are meant to stifle the farmer to create room for a foreign farmer to bring maize to this country. I met the people of Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and told them that they were aiding corruption by allowing people to import maize to this country and making it impossible for farmers and those who want to assist small-scale farmers to deliver the maize to NCPB. As we speak, farmers from Moiben Constituency and Trans Nzoia have been taken through court processes. Their mistake is ... view
