• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.105, on a Statement of fact. I have heard the Senator for Isiolo County saying that the NLC is a department in the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development. As far as I am concerned, the NLC is an independent Constitutional commission. Is it in order for the Senator to mislead the House? view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this question by Sen. Dullo. This is a practice we have seen the NLC undertake in various government projects. Remember the compensation for the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). In my county, there was compensation for the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO) transmission lines and we also seeing this in Isiolo County. The biggest challenge we have is the process of valuation by the NLC. I request that the Chair of the NLC be summoned to the House--- view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My request is that the Chair of the NLC should be summoned, so that we can ask direct supplementary questions on the issue of valuation. Allow me to ask now that I have the chance, what plans the Ministry has to ensure that all public utilities in this country are titled. I thank you. view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just a point of clarification. The CS says that he did not receive a substantive report from NLC and she is accompanied by officers from NLC. I really do not know whether to trust what the CS is saying. Otherwise, what are the officers of NLC doing accompanying him with a report that is not sufficient for this House? view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to weigh in on this matter of pending bills. There is something that the House, the National Treasury, county governments and the general public need to understand. Unless we have another definition of a pending bill, ‘a pending bill’ is a bill of either a service or a project that has been delivered to completion but has not been paid and it was budgeted. What we are experiencing in counties are not really pending bills. These are ongoing contracts that have been rolled over from different financial years. They ... view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Senator did not even say which Standing Order he was rising on. However, it is good that he has clarified that he has not been a governor. So, let me inform him from practice. view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Statement by Sen. Onyonka is very clear. There are contractors who have worked and delivered but they have not been paid. It is not that the money is not there. view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: In this House, we have heard Senators saying requisitions have been made for particular projects and services but that money has ended up paying others, other than the ones that were being requisitioned for. As a Senate, we need to tighten the turnaround time and the requirements for payment of works and services that have been completed. It is true that most of these counties that we are hearing about pending bills and non-payments have undergone transition. They either have a new governor and so it a new administration. In this country, there are things that we must sort out. ... view
