• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. First, I support the Motion and the list that has been put before the House. I support the team and also wish to congratulate the team that was earlier here for guiding the House and making sure the business of the Senate was able to continue. Through the SBC, as the Senate Committee on Health, our Bills were fast- tracked, and we passed Bills that have enabled the rollout of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). On today's agenda, I would only wish to ask the new team to prioritise ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: I have nothing against LSK, but if you look at the dominance they have in the Constitution and the positions that are given in the Constitution, it looks like in some sections of the population interest was not taken and the interest of counties and devolution and the Senate probably was forgotten in the process. We have an opportunity through Sen. Omogeni’s Constitutional Amendment Bill to rectify that and make it work. I also agree with my colleague Sen. M. Kajwang’ that the Senate cannot go by the decisions of the National Assembly. We are the ‘Upper’ House, for heaven's ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity you have given me, first, to register that we have regulations and rules on how to handle Cabinet Secretaries who do not appear for a session. I would request that the Senate first issues summons to those Cabinet Secretaries so that we are sure in the next session that they will be able to attend the Senate and answer to a few questions particularly on matters of health. There are a number of concerns and you know my committee has many Statements from all these Hon. Members on the implementation and ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is time they realised that we equally have a mandate to represent the people who have elected us the same way they have been given a mandate by the Executive to implement. Working together we can achieve more and better results than working at cross purposes. I submit. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Sorry, Sen. Osotsi, I am not informing you, but rising on a point of order under Standing Order No.105 on responsibility for statement of fact. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when the Senator for Vihiga makes sweeping statements that millions of shillings are carried to bribe officers working in the office of CoB, can he table evidence? All officers working in the office of CoB are not corrupt unless he tables evidence. If he has that evidence, he knows that there are institutions in this country mandated to act on those matters. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Members should not use the ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I rise to support the report of the Mediation Committee on the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.38 of 2024). As much as we have the responsibility of protecting counties and devolution as a Senate, we must also be realistic to the circumstances and happenings in the country. This House had passed and the National Assembly had agreed with us that counties can receive Kshs400 billion for the current financial year. However, the unprecedented events that happened in this country has necessitated the change. The Finance ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: We cannot solve a problem by creating another problem. Therefore, I persuade my colleagues, hon. Senators, that indeed, we have a mandate to protect devolution, which includes making sure that we are realistic. That the suppliers and contractors in the counties will be paid by voting in revenues that will be accessed and available. It should not be lost on us that the same people who are against the revenue- raising measures would still want increase of share of revenue to counties. As Kenyans, we must begin having a very honest conversation, particularly on development. We have a choice as ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Counties should then be able to use the automated processes to requisition funds and eliminate the aspect of traveling. Traveling is not limited to the requirement by the CoB. Sometimes counties and officers within the department of treasury in the counties use it as an opportunity to get a chance to travel. The motivation of traveling to Nairobi is very high because this is the capital city of the Republic of Kenya and the allowances are fairly good. We are happy as Uasin Gishu County because Eldoret is now a city. Sen. Osotsi and Vihiga County can take their conferences ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to inform Sen. (Prof.) Kamar that she is being misinformed by Sen. M. Kajwang’. view
