• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to withdraw and apologize, but clarify that as the principal advisor of the party leader of Wiper, who is also a lawyer and was given that offer. view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am just a bit wondering, Sen. Kisang’ is speaking from the Minority side. I do not know if there are changes, and I am not aware. It is good to be informed. view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support the Report by the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. In this Report, we are looking at the challenges the counties have gone through in completing those projects, most of which arise because of delay in disbursement of the conditional grants to counties. I thank this Senate for passing the Conditional Allocation Bill, which is now an Act of Parliament, which will make it easy for follow-up of funds to be released. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: During the period under review, there were a lot of challenges in getting the National Treasury to disburse the funds that were allocated and meant for counties. The National Treasury as currently structured, still behaves and lives in a manner to suggest they work and belong to the national Government, but at will and pleasure, serve the counties in their spare time. That is not what was envisaged in the Constitution. If you look at Article 225 of our Constitution, we still need to revisit that Article as Parliament and relook into the Public Finance and Management Act in order ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: I intend to bring a statement to this House so that the Standing Committee of Finance and Budget can investigate the alleged pending bills in the Uasin Gishu County Government. Madam Temporary Speaker, as far as I am concerned, because I was the previous Governor of that County, there were no pending bills, except for a Kshs45 million bill to the County Pension Fund (CPF), which accrued from accrual deficits that they were unable to supply documents to support payment during my tenure. Therefore, other than the late disbursement from the national Government, we must also be aware of the ... view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this matter. However, before I contribute to these amendments to this Bill, I do not know whether a definition of work for a spouse would include giving birth to children. That is a debate for another day. Unfortunately, Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot and Sen. Wambua have already left the Chamber. When I heard their contributions, Sen. Aaron seemed to have been worried about the impact of this past on the future. Listening to his contribution, I thought he was The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: reminiscing about his days at Moi University. You know, university students engage in so many activities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. Veronica Maina for bringing this subject matter, which touches on daily living in all our communities in this country. The matter of succession has been very emotive. Most importantly is the process of succession that sometimes takes so long. As I speak today, a lot of assets and resources for families are held in abeyance. They cannot be accessed or used. They run to billions of money that would have positively contributed to the economy ... view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: saying, that you arrive at a funeral, then you look across the tents, and you find a brigade of people who resemble one another and have never met. You do not know what would happen next. We should encourage openness and responsibility. All children should be allowed to know their identity. Women should be encouraged not to hide the identity of the fathers of their children, which would contribute to resolving some of these matters. There is a situation where one of the parents dies, or one spouse dies, and the other decides to remarry. I encourage Sen. Veronica Maina ... view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: to try and engage, so that we balance the views of various communities in the amendments that we will put in place. I would also like to talk about having a will. We have seen and witnessed so many disputes or people disputing a will that was written by a deceased person, resulting into many long legal battles. I would like Sen. Veronica Maina to also think about this. I will do some research before I appear before the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights on this matter of wills. Going forward, so that resources are not locked ... view
• 11 Jun 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill on allocation of monies to counties. As I support this Bill, we urge our counties, that the Senate having worked very hard to increase the allocation from the proposed Kshs391 to Kshs400 billion mark, expect our counties to be diligent in the utilisation of these resources. My own county of Uasin Gishu will have additional funds of over Kshs300 million. I expect that the County Government of Uasin Gishu will ensure that the VTCs that are on the verge of being closed, with only one out of ... view
