• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me first say that indeed, as a country, we need the IEBC in place as soon as possible. We must appreciate that there has been quite some delay in the process. In that delay, there are citizens of this country who are not being represented, either in the National Assembly, Senate, or even in the County Assemblies. Those citizens have a right to be represented and their matters to be heard through their representatives. In view of that, despite the challenges of the Chairperson not writing to the Senate and we take exception that ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: be extended for the selection panel to complete the process so that we can have an IEBC in place. Madam Temporary Speaker, successful or credible election is also determined by the amount of preparation that is put in place to ensure that logistical issues are properly addressed. We do not want to run to 2027 and have an electoral body that has just arrived shortly before elections. That would be giving room for those who will be selected as Commissioners and Chairperson of the Commission, to give excuses of lack of preparedness for the election. In my opinion, and I ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I would like to inform the Senator for Nairobi City County, my good friend, that I have not been absent from the House. In fact, I have been actively receiving and addressing the petitions. That aside, the matter that has been raised in the House is serious. Indeed, you directed that we meet all the stakeholders, and I wish to inform you that we have scheduled a meeting for next week, Monday. However, as we were preparing for the meeting, there were changes in the Cabinet, and it was necessary to allow ... view

• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Ministry opted to confirm only those UHC staff working in the national government facilities, excluding those working in county facilities. For the county-based staff, the resources were instead used to renew their contracts rather than absorbing them into permanent and pensionable terms. Hon. Speaker, I seek the indulgence of the House to allow us to meet with all relevant stakeholders on Monday and come up with a way forward. However, it must be noted that this matter will only be fully resolved when funds are included in the budget. As a House, we also have a responsibility to press the ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My supplementary question is in relation to what the Cabinet Secretary has said in terms of the assets.

• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: statement in September, 2024 on the issue of assets of the New KCC and the Cabinet Secretary committed to provide a list of them with their valuation, but we have not received it to date. We also know that the Kshs500 million that was paid was actually not commensurate to the value of the assets of KCC then. What is he doing as a Cabinet Secretary to secure the assets of the New KCC as they are? This is because we have a very rogue board. He knows what they were trying to do and what they wanted to do ... view

• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, the Senator for Kisumu County on the issue of clean water. Water is part of the default functions. Therefore, Kisumu County Government and Lake Victoria South Water Works Development Agency have a responsibility to make sure that the residents of Kisumu have clean and accessible water. This should actually not just apply to the residents of Kisumu but the entire basin. Hon. Speaker, Sir, the challenge that there is in supply of clean water in Kisumu is also associated with the source of ... view
