• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: In most cases, you will find that 70 per cent of all the staff in the institutions, including even sweepers, come from other ethnic groups far from Narok County. That is what we need to check. The only way of doing so is by ensuring that every State agency and county government--- In fact, I beseech Sen. Cherarkey, and if he does not do it, I will bring the amendment. Sometimes when you just talk about details of human resource establishment within service commissions, some people try to be smart. Currently, all of us are agonizing about Article 110(3) on ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: What we forget is the term “considers”. What does it mean? When is a Bill considered? Is it considered when it has been published, read the First Time or being debated? There are many issues that we need to address. That is why I suggested that we may need to define in our Standing Orders. Before the Clerk reads a Bill, he or she has to define “consideration”. view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: If you look at most Bills, it is only an Amendment Bill that specifies whether it concerns counties or not. The Supreme Court made two rulings to explain Article 110(3). That determination was made by Justice Lenaola. The two Houses should resolve that quagmire by ensuring that we define the term “consider”. We can only do so in our Standing Orders. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, so, to get back to the issue of this Bill, I would be very happy if we define and include and just spell out the county governments and state departments, so that you do away ... view

There is an issue of accountability and the day we will all remember that we have that fiduciary duty; that legal obligation to be our own brother's keepers, is the day that this country called Kenya will develop. It is a day that all of us will compete for just making the country a much better place for future ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a supplementary question to the Question asked by the Senator for Kirinyaga. When I was listening to the Cabinet Secretary giving his responses, he alluded to the fact that there is money that the Ministry has obtained and it is going to fill the gaps. That was particularly when he was responding on the issue of water agencies. Could the Cabinet Secretary provide full details of the amount they have obtained and the timeframe it will take to pay these water agencies? I have a problem discussing the issue of water because water is devolved. ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Perhaps just to clarify, in his last sentence, he alluded to the fact that he is also looking for more money. Does that relate to the query that the distinguished Senator had asked? Finally, on the issue of these funds that you allege to have obtained--- view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not asking another question. I was just asking the same question. I am only giving fodder for him to respond. Allow me 30 seconds to finalize my one question. view

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are coming to the end of the financial year. The Cabinet Secretary alleged that he has obtained money to complete the project that the distinguished Senator had queried. Could he be specific in terms of the deliverables and the timeframes, so that at least the Question that has been asked by my colleague is responded to satisfactorily? I thank you. view
