• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Let me leave it for the discussion of the WhatsApp group where we are together. That is on a light note. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this BPS which is a very important agenda that brought us to the Floor of this House. This BPS is significant in the sense that it is the last under the presidency of President Uhuru Kenyatta. Therefore, it gives us a good review of the performance of this administration, especially in the last five years. This BPS is important because through it, we are able ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: In fact, when the American economy was in great depression after the First World War and the great depression that ensued around 1929 to early 1930s, the response of the Roosevelt administration was to engage in capital intensive projects; those are the highways built in the United States of America (USA). It was important that they engaged in those capital intensive projects so that they could open up the interstate commerce trade in the USA and facilitate trade among or within the 50 States. The advantage of also engaging in these capital intensive projects is that at the time you ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: today how BBI was to give more resources. I challenge President Uhuru Kenyatta that if he truly believes in BBI, Kshs630 billion should go to counties this year, not tomorrow. If BBI was not about politics of gerrymandering and trying to shepherd a particular individual to become the president of the Republic of Kenya without going through proper auditing by the people of Kenya, let them show that BBI was about resources to the counties. Let them come with a Division of Revenue Bill next year in February or March that this House in April will pass a Bill that ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, Sen. Wetangula was in parliament when Parliament passed what was called a Mwangale Report. When they talk about the Omamo Report, it does not mean there were no other Members--- view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Sen. Kibiru, President Uhuru’s man--- view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is exactly what I was saying. That in President Uhurus’ Government, he is proposing Kshs370 billion, but Sen. Kibiru, the right hand man of President Uhuru Kenyatta, has brought a very serious critic of this Report, saying that if we are going to go by Kshs370 billion again, we will fall from the 22 per cent we are at the moment to 17 per cent. As we continue with the national debt and so forth, it looks like we are even going to go below the 15 per cent required. As Sen. M. Kajwang’ captured so ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was speaking about the Pharisees and Sadducees. I do not know whether Sen. M. Kajwang considers himself one of the Pharisees. They know themselves; they are not in this Chamber. In a manner of conversation, I have said, anyone who has promised the people of Kenya that we were going to get 35 per cent of national revenue to the counties lied. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. M. Kajwang’ is right to suspect himself in this thing and to passionately defend those who lie to the people of Kenya that 35 per cent--- view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if this Budget Policy Statement is not going to lead us---. I thank Sen. Kibiru, Sen. Wetangula, Sen. Cheruiyot Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr and other Members of the Finance and Budget Committee who proposed Kshs495 billion. I urge that we improve it to the BBI proponents’ standards to Kshs600 billion that will go to counties. We want President Uhuru Kenyatta to sign it by June so that then we know, he is a true believer of this BBI he has been talking about. Let him demonstrate. The Bible says: “Let your actions speak louder than your words.” ... view
