• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: This is a good attempt to help our local farmers. I would like to summarize by saying that I know my colleague, Sen. Halake, had asked a question as to why we should call this ‘The Mung Beans Bill’ and not ‘The Ndengu Bill. Since we are not only looking at consuming this product locally, we should use a name that is recognized worldwide. ‘Mung beans’ is known worldwide than ‘ Ndengu .’ view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: We need to think of how to solve local problems with a bigger market. The biggest problem we have in this country is that when we are producers of any crop, we limit ourselves to the local market near us. We need to think about how many other consumers of our goods there are. If we produce milk in Narok County, we do not only have to look at Narok County. Maybe we have 1.2 million people in Narok County, and each day, we produce over 300,000 litres of milk. For us to progress well and succeed, we have to ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support and congratulate Sen. Wambua for thinking local, but also trying to get some international standards in the production of our local products. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure whether I am the only visitor in Jerusalem. I have no clue of the documents they are referring to. I am trying to follow but I cannot see. I got lost in between the documents which were introduced and these current ones. If they refer as to the documents, we will follow. view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to seek some clarifications in regards to the trip to New York. The first clarification is on the approvals of the trip to New York, which document has been tabled, that it was approved by State House. I have seen the signature of the Head of Public Service. If that can be clarified, I will be happy. Secondly, I seek clarification on the issue of the bursary fund, which a document has been tabled indicating clearly that, that was stopped. I want to know at what point the Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) was stopped. view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to seek clarifications on two things. I am directing my clarification to the County Assembly because they are the ones who have brought up the case. First, were you able to look at the documents and were you satisfied with the documents that the trip to New York was actually approved by State House and not by the County Executive? Two, can you tell us where you got those documents that you presented showing the transactions of the Kshs297.5 million for bursaries because they were not certified to have come from a bank? view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Finally, on the issue of stoppage of the funds, were you able to provide other statements to indicate how the Kshs297 million was spent? The last question, which I am directing to the governor is on the spending of the Kshs297.5 million, which you have indicated in your statement that it was stopped. What happened to that money at that particular time? Did it remain at Central Bank or at the County Revenue Fund? If you can clarify those, I will be happy. view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: On a point of order! view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Motion with the following reasons. I have sat here for the last two days and listened very carefully to the allegations by the County Assembly. In my view, which I wish to convince my colleagues within three minutes, these allegations have not been substantiated. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we were told that bursary money was diverted to pay for lawyers. We were told that the county’s money was used to pay for other services, but the evidence which was presented by the Governor spoke differently. We were given documents from the ... view
• 16 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am looking at these documents and this is the Senate of the Republic of Kenya which even under Article 125 has got the power to sit as a High Court. These documents are not legible and are not certified. It would be important for us to have documents that are certified. My concern is that I cannot see what I am looking at. view
