• 11 Jun 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That is very interesting. You have never called me that name, but I will take it. I rise to support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill for the following reasons. I am happy that the money has finally been distributed to the counties. However, I am not happy with the amounts allocated to counties. The national Government keeps clawing back on devolution and allocating billions of shillings to Ministries yet county governments, where most of the population reside, are given peanuts. I was looking at the numbers. Although someone will clap and say Narok County ... view

• 11 Jun 2024 in Senate: small existing resources, bring in accountability and change how things are done in county governments. We have over borrowed as a country. This Senate fought a bit and got an additional Kshs9 billion, which we could have gotten. I never voted for the Division of Revenue Bill because I felt like the little money that was given was not enough. When you see a Member of the National Assembly clapping hands and saying that they have already been allocated an additional Kshs20 million to carry out functions that the county government should carry out, you start questioning whether we understand ... view

• 30 May 2024 in Senate: Bw. Spika, nashukuru kwa kunipa nafasi hii kwa niaba ya Mhe. Faki ili niombe taarifa kutoka kwa Kamati ya Kudumu ya Elimu. Nimesimama kuambatana na Kanuni ya Kudumu ya 53 (1) kuomba taarifa kutoka kwa Kamati ya Kudumu ya Elimu kuhusu malipo ya malimbikizo kwa walimu waliostaafu kutoka Tume ya Kuajiri Walinu (TSC). Katika taarifa hiyo, kamati: (1) Ichunguze sababu za walimu waliostaafu kutopokea pensheni pamoja na malimbikizo yao ya kustaafu kuanzia mwaka wa 2020 hadi sasa. (2) Iarifu Seneti hii lini walimu hao waliostaafu wataanza kupokea hayo malipo yao. (3) Ieleze pia sababu za Hazina ya Malipo ya Uzeeni ... view
• 30 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to make some observations and comments on the Statement issued by my dear sister Sen. Hamida Kibwana. Mr. Speaker, Sir, although the Statement is very important because it talks about the welfare of young Kenyans, I think it is about time that we stopped being reactive and became proactive. When we are reactive, we blame everybody for what is happening to us. Yet, we are the ones who are not strict in terms of policy by allowing the construction of houses along the rivers. Then, ultimately, when a government which is also ... view
• 30 May 2024 in Senate: should send more money to our counties. We should fight for more money to go to our counties so that we stop this rural-urban migration. I have been to many parts of the industrial area in Nairobi. You will find that places where there were no dumpsites are now dumpsites. When people are moved from the river banks or the land adjacent to the rivers, it cleans up the environment. I think we need to be serious and become future-centric in terms of our planning and thinking because my sister has raised serious concerns here. In her first Statement, she ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sir. Let me begin by appreciating the work done by our colleagues. Although I do not support the report, I appreciate the work that they did. I do not support this mediation report for the following reasons. Giving excuses that county governors are not using the money appropriately is not enough for the role that we play. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Kshs9 billion that we fought for, which is what these county governments are eventually going to get, is peanuts. The national Government is notorious for coming up with projects that they want county governments to ... view
