• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is in reference to statement of facts. Sen. Wambua has said that they held peaceful demonstrations. What we witnessed were not peaceful demonstrations. We witnessed looting, stoning, punching people’s cars and destruction of motorbikes. That is not peaceful demonstration by any means. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to make a few comments on the issue of reports. First, I agree with what Sen. Cherarkey and Sen Cheruiyot have said, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: but not in its entirety. In terms of the quality and content of the Report, what is normally read is just a summary. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a new Senator in this House, I have been wondering about what happens to the very good recommendations that we make in conclusion of our reports. How are we, as a House, going to follow up some of those matters? I say this because my Committee on Health has investigated matters to do with deaths in some of our facilities. In those investigations, we found issues to do with negligence, lack of equipment, ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Finally, I disagree with the Senate Majority Leader that in 2013 governors were ‘small gods.’ It was not our making. We need to have a session on how you should induct people into a programme when you are in office, so that later on, you do not blame them. As the first elected governors of this country, in 2013, we were invited to a high- level meeting in Naivasha. That was our first meeting. We were 47 governors and Senators were also there. Guess who were doing the induction. It was the Attorney- General of this country, the Chairperson of ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: fitted with the flag and a new title. What were we supposed to do when we had been inducted and released officially to go and work? I just wanted to reiterate that so that we understand. The other aspect we need to prosecute is the issue of recurrent expenditure in the counties. I have said time and again that there is need for the--- view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to argue with the Senator for Laikipia, who is also my employer at the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). However, he never said which Standing Order he rose on. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Anyway, he has made his point. I was just trying to emphasise that some of the things we see in the counties might not be their making. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is good that my colleague Senator for Mandera is the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget. Regarding the issue of recurrent expenditure, there is need to review the accounting and reporting standards. If we remove personal emoluments, some of the recurrent expenditures are development in nature. For example, in the counties, procurement of drugs and non- pharmaceuticals are recurrent expenditure. Training and the fuel you use ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to submit. view
• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will pick from where the Senator for Kiambu left regarding the AGPO. There has been a deliberate effort in this country. We loud the Government of Kenya, county governments, agencies, and particularly Parliament for passing the Bill to allow the youth, women and PwDs to participate in Government business. When it comes to young people, PwDs and women, because of lack of capital and resources to do business, these categories have ceded the privilege and preservation of some procurements by incorporating other members as their partners in business and, therefore, losing the benefits that would be ... view
• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support the Konza Technopolis Act by Sen. Orwoba. This piece of legislation has come at the right time in this country, when the Kenya Kwanza administration wants to roll out a robust use of technology on service delivery for Government services and digital infrastructure to enable the private sector and the business community to transact business on the technology platform. This Bill will bring sanity in the industry and generate revenue for the country. As a nation that aspires to depend on themselves in terms of managing their internal ... view
