• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: are tasked with developing psychological support programmes for current and retired service personnel, their families and families of the deceased services personnel. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, I would like to ask you a question about your officers that we lost in 2016 on whether the people who are responsible have really visited to offer any support since then. I will give you a case of Corporal Leonard Tata Daniel; Service No. 73046 who was part of the officers that we lost in Somali. The widow happens to be from my county. From 2016, she has not received a phone call, an ... view
• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is one question, but it looks like it has appendages. view
• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on the Statement by Sen. Chesang on the issue of maize, dryers and prices of maize. As the Committee considers this Statement, we would like it to get proper information from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development on the price farmers should expect to sell their maize. As we speak, maize has been harvested in parts of Uasin Gishu, Bungoma and Trans Nzoia counties. However, because of the rains farmers are experiencing difficulties in drying their maize. We cannot have Government resources that are lying idle like the dryers ... view
• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: (NCPB) while farmers are suffering. We expect the Committee to take the Ministry to task on why they cannot dry maize for farmers. Secondly, maize prices have dropped and traders are taking advantage of farmers because of the rains we are having. As we speak today, a bag of maize is worth between Kshs3,800 to Kshs3,900. If this is not addressed, then the benefit that was passed to farmers through the subsidized fertilizer will be lost to traders and millers who are not keen to ensure farmers rise from poverty. I expect the Ministry to set a price. We recommend ... view
• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I stated yesterday before my time was up, I support the County Government's Additional Allocation Bill. This will add close to Kshs56 billion to counties, which will aid in making sure that services are delivered to citizens. However, I had reservations about some of the programmes. I concur with Sen. Mungatana of Tana River County that there are programmes that are designed and conceptualized by Ministries in a manner that befits the geographical location where the Cabinet Secretary comes from. You would find that a programme costing Kshs10 billion, Kshs15 billion or kshs20 billion is ... view

• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: kilometres with no good road. Today, as we speak, we have ward hospitals in all the 30 wards of Turkana County. Therefore, I urge my colleagues that whenever we visit counties, seeing a structure or visiting a place is not sufficient to make conclusions and cast aspersions on county performance until we get proper documentation and the report of the Auditor- General. These funds need equity and proper protection. As we pass these additional allocations, we have successful programmes at county levels that are donor-driven, for example, the Kenya Urban Support programme and Kenya Informal Settlement Improvement programmes. As a ... view

• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: contractors who were contracted on managed equipment should not rest until they make sure they supply all the equipment they were contracted to supply to our counties. Further, if there is any allegation that a county was not ready to receive that equipment and they paid for it, that equipment should be supplied, taken to the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Ministry should donate to any county or a national facility that is ready to use them. However, there is no way suppliers should go away with Kenyan funds without supplying. It is equivalent to paying for oxygen. You ... view
