• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That will be next week. There is a slight and important point I wish to conclude. Every time we are in our counties, you hear governors and Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) telling Senators - this is important for County Public Accounts Committee - that the money received from the national Government is little. They say most these amounts go to recurrent expenditure. However, when you go to any ward in Kisii, Busia or Lelmok Ward in Nandi County, the question is that the money received in the county has been spent on recurrent ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: We cannot just sit and accept that there is a lot of recurrent expenditure. We must go to our villages and ask them who the people enjoying the recurrent expenditure from their village are. We have a role as the Senate in this last year to organise barazas in our wards. Let us forget about the harambes, church visits and funeral politics. The next stage of oversight by Senators will be to organise barazas to find out the expenditures.

• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a matter of fact, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was doing very well and has been doing very well for the last three years, focusing on our responsibility as stated in Article (96) which is to oversight county governments. When we carry out that responsibility there is no Jubilee or CORD. If I was to digress to national Government, accountability has been the bedrock of the arguments that the President has been putting across, but that is not where I want to go. I want to urge the Senators that to avoid this imagination that if a governor ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is the most erratic Seconder I have ever got. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: He cannot abuse the privilege I gave him to second this Motion to attack me. Be it as it may, I have remained consistent. The country and people in my county know that I have remained consistent in calling for oversight of county resources. In fact, from 2013 to 2014, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki and I were being branded persons who want to kill devolution in this country. We were the first people who kept arguing that we need accountability. I remember so well even in functions where I could meet opposition leaders saying that this call for accountability is just ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My younger sister, Sen. Daisy Kanainza, may not have understood this Motion. She thinks that we are going on recess, but on the contrary, we are postponing recess. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My colleague will have an opportunity next week, when the Motion for adjournment will come up, to oppose or support it. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I said is that there was a time we clashed with the Leader of the Opposition who was Former Prime Minister, Hon. Raila Odinga, in public over my stand on accountability. He interpreted it to mean that fighting for accountability in the counties was fighting counties. I was trying to use that position to remind my colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., that my stand on accountability has been the same from the time we came to Senate. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Mover, Sen. Murkomen, who is the Deputy Majority Leader for moving this Motion. In support of the Motion, allow me to say a couple of things; one, this Motion has not been brought by the Leader of Majority in terms of the dates. It has also not been recommended by the Senate Business Committee (SBC) in terms of the dates. These dates were agreed at the beginning of this Session. In February, when we resumed, we adopted ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: I respect the Speaker. view
