• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: I am grateful that this Petition came to this House. I hope the relevant committee that will handle it will take its work extremely seriously and use such situations to be an example, so that in future, every Kenyan and institution will take the responsibility and health of the people of Kenya seriously. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: I support the Petition and I look forward to the report. The only caution is that we have many petitions but where are the reports? We have been waiting for the reports. We do not want to take advantage of our 30 minutes and say what we want to say and have investigation take place but we do not get the reports back. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope that from where you are sitting, you will hold our committees to account to ensure that they report back to this House on everything that we have committed to them. view

• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to congratulate the Senate Deputy Majority Leader for coming up with this very important Statement. Madam Temporary Speaker, the former Sen. (Dr.) Kuti, who is now the Governor for Isiolo County, was here when we passed the County Development Board (CDB) Bill. In that law, we said that it was necessary for counties and their leadership to come together and agree on various aspects of development, to ensure that there is coordinated development and understanding across the board.

• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: We expect the governors, who were Senators before, to be the best champions for the role of the Senate in so far as working together as a team is concerned. In fact, I do not agree with Sen. Sakaja who says that there is no legal framework for us to engage in oversight. There is more than enough; we do not even need a law. What Sen. Dullo needs to do is to come up with a Petition, which will be directed to the Committee on Health or the relevant Committee. That Committee will then go to Isiolo or summon ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I still disagree with him on that one too. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg that you give me 30 seconds. This is an issue that we debated for five years. Does an individual Senator have a role, individually, to oversight county governments? The answer is ‘yes.’ We are being given the oversight fund because it will enable us to go and hold meetings with wananchi and the county assemblies. It is their choice whether or not to attend the meetings, but as the Senate or individually, we do not lack the legal framework; we do not even need a law. In fact, having a law will restrict us from ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. In reality, what Sen. Dullo has brought is important. Every Senator is asking the same question, but it is important for us to know we have unlimited space within the Constitution to perform our responsibilities as Senators. I really urge the six governors, who used to be Senators, to set a good example of the relationship between counties and the importance of being oversighted as one tool of making them shine better in their performance as governors. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
