• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: strongly propose that we send this Bill again for public participation. Otherwise, we will be making an illegal law as a House. Whether Sen. Omtatah is beaten up or not, this is a matter we must go back to court to deal with, including any other Act we have passed without redoing public participation as a Senate, especially when it originates and co- sponsored by the two Majority Leaders. When our own Senate Majority Leader co-sponsors, he must have a voice and direction in co-sponsoring a Bill of Parliament. He should not just rush it to the Senate to get ... view
• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), on behalf of Sen. Sifuna, the Senator for Nairobi City County, to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee of Energy regarding the Government- to-Government (G2G) Agreement on the supply of petroleum products to Kenya. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Inform the Senate of the current status of the G2G petroleum products supply on an extended credit terms deal entered between the Government of Kenya and the three national oil exporters from the Gulf in March 2023; stating the oil marketing companies in Kenya ... view
• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important law. Corruption is the biggest problem in Kenya, in African countries and countries worldwide. This proposed law on conflict of interest safeguards the resources of citizens in the country. Corruption has brought down many countries especially the corruption of officials within Government entities. Conflict of interest may not be properly captured or defined in this Bill. This Bill was in the National Assembly and was forwarded to the Senate. I thank the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee in the Senate for going ... view

• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, EACC is one of the major institutions and a key element. I am happy with what the Chairperson of EACC did yesterday to release the corruption index in the country; the Ministries, where a lot of money is being lost. Earlier on there were reports that billions of shillings get lost every day through corruption. That means that the people of Kenya are losing a lot of their taxes to individuals' pockets, whereby, instead of the Nation prospering, individuals prosper. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in this regard, this law is very important. As I have said, ... view

• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: means, can make it to the army or to all those agencies including the prisons fairly and without paying a bribe through agents who are conflicted? It has become common practise that every Kenyan knows before you are conflicted there must be corruption. Sometimes they use big names that, for example, unless your name comes from State House, an MP, Senator or Governor, you cannot be recruited in the army. Therefore, what is the use of holding a recruitment exercise if all that is a wastage of people’s time and you will finally just recruit as you please? These are ... view

• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: The only way we are going to do our roads networks and have every village tarmacked, is by doing away with the corruption in the Ministry of Roads and Transport. The only way we can make sure we provide every Kenyan with water in their homes and farm for irrigation, is first by dealing with corruption. The moment we do not deal with corruption and conflicted civil servants, it will be a waste of time. If this law is not implemented, it is a waste of time. Kenyans need to go back to history and our morals. Many successful countries ... view
• 27 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that we are talking of land which has not been alienated or its status not known; could the Minister, whom we have a long history with, and is an outstanding lawyer, update us on the status of the land against Konza City. There are titles of Aimima Kilungu Farm which have been pending for quite a while. view
