• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Can you stop, please? Are you the Speakers? view
• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: If you look at Part 1 of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, housing is a function of county governments. The policy is only on the national Government. Madam Temporary Speaker, that is what I wanted to clarify to my brother because he is misleading the House. view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Osotsi. What I would like to request is that when the Committee investigates that matter, they should find out what exactly is happening even with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). We are now moving from an old NTSA system to eCitizen. Everyone has to pay Kshs50. However, the biggest problem is that the migration process is taking a very long The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services, ... view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: time. Most drivers are being arrested because their vehicles are not in the system, then they are charged. I know of a few people who have had to pay for lack of inspection stickers. The problem is that we are migrating from the old system of NTSA to eCitizen digital platform. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, and noting the two-minute limit that you put, it will also be important for us to understand how much is collected on a daily basis for Kshs50, which is paid to a third party. We should also know how much of it goes ... view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will go straight to supporting this report by the Committee on Finance and Budget. I have been in this Senate now for almost seven years. I am very impressed with the work that Captain Ali Roba, Sen. Eddie Gicheru and Sen. Tabitha are doing, among others. view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Oh, yes! I do not know whether you are on the committee, among all the other Members of the Finance and Budget Committee are doing. It is a crisis in this country. I will bring a Motion to ensure that all county governments pay their pending bills before the end of this financial year. view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Five per cent of our GDP is pending bills. That is an indication of a failed economy. That is the reason it becomes difficult for even the National Treasury to propose any increment. You know the law requires that pending bills become the first charge on the account. However, these county governors have been ignoring them. When reading the report, it is very sad that the proposed increment will not even support the payroll of county governments. I hope that we can bring in an amendment to increase it to 6.4 per cent which is the bare minimum to allow ... view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: The challenge we have is that we know where people are breaking the law. We know where the county governments are diverting the money, but we do not have the guts to say enough is enough. I beseech you because of time that as we support this, can we at least increase the money to the proposal of the committee to around Kshs415 billion? If we increase it by 1.5 per cent, what exactly are you doing? We are stagnating the economic growth. The first thing that will help us to make some progress is if we are allowed to ... view
• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Trade, Industrialization and Tourism regarding the operations of Ewaso Ngiro Tannery and Leather Factory in Narok County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Report on the operations of the Ewaso Ngiro Tannery and Leather Factory in Narok County, stating its annual budget, yearly production capacity and volume, as well as the market demand for its products. (2) Explain how the tannery actively involves the local communities in its operations, highlighting the tannery recruitment process and the percentage of the workforce ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.46 of 2022). Let me, first of all, appreciate both the National Assembly and the Senate for coming up with the concept of ensuring that Bills, which are as important as this, are co- sponsored by a Member from the “Lower” House and a Member of this House. I appreciate the two Members, distinguished Sen. Cherarkey and Hon. Rahim Dawood, for having foresight in governance. This is what defines anticipatory governance. This is what tries to avoid difficult situations where ... view
