• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.105 on a statement of fact. Can the Senator for Nandi County prove that religious leaders are people of D- and D+? I am aware of my Bishop of AIC Church, who is a Phd holder. My leader, the moderator of Reformed Church of East Africa (RCEA) is a Masters holder. Is the Senator for Nandi in order to mislead this House that religious leaders have low academic qualifications? view
• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy. My concern goes to two areas - on the issue of pending bills, both in the national Government and county government level. As we strive to manage debt, I think it would be prudent to ensure we also do not continue accumulating debts, particularly for county governments, for services rendered and goods delivered. As a nation that is struggling to create employment, we kill the same enterprises that have grown over time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I propose to this House ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: budget for Financial Year 2024/2025 is approved and funds released, there should be provisions for payments of all pending bills. The Senate Majority Leader has suggested, and all Senators have followed up to support that intervention request that the Controller of Budget (COB) shares the reports of counties so that, as the Senate, we are able to check on the spending of the resources. It has been found that a number of counties are making requisitions for payments of pending bills, but the same funds are being diverted to other causes. That is indicating that there could be a possibility ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: production in the rural parts of this country. The challenge has been how to move those goods to the market. That is why cartels thrive in this country because, they take advantage of the poor infrastructure network and a farmer who cannot transport their goods to the market because of poor road networks. Therefore, they devalue the productivity of that farmer in the rural part of this country while, we all know that agriculture remains one of the sectors that creates the largest percentage of employment in this country. I, therefore, support the Ministry and only ask that this time ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: that we shall also be demanding to be given all the records of all the debts. Even if it will take this House five or 10 days to interrogate, we better begin having clean records of how much debt is there, what it is owed to whom, when was it borrowed and at what rate. Finally, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we witnessed short-term borrowing by the national Government, especially towards the run-up of the last general elections where the Government was borrowing debts that needed to be paid in less than a year. Any government borrowing debts that need to ... view
