• 8 Mar 2023 in Senate: suffered a great deal. The matter has been to and out of court. I have been to the Government which made an allocation which was never honoured. If these retired teachers got their money, they would have spurred the economy, they would have made investments in agriculture, hardware, shops and would have even paid more taxes to the country. Unfortunately, without investing Kshs3.3 billion through such brilliant people who have been teaching business and good ideas, that money was never given an opportunity. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said they have now aged and suffered diseases. Some have died out of ... view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your kind permission, two months ago I made a request for a Statement in relation to human-wildlife conflict in Makueni County. Unfortunately, I have not been called by the relevant Committee to make a presentation or received an answer on the same. view

• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Yesterday, an elephant killed somebody in Kibwezi East and wananchi refused to release the body until this afternoon when the Kenya Wildlife Society (KWS), together with the police officers, went there and teargassed them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I look forward to an answer from the Committee, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of Tourism and Wildlife, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the KWS. This is now becoming a matter of criminal nature. There has been criminal negligence on the part of KWS officers. They have reports that elephants are there and yet they let them wander. The county ... view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to make a Statement on behalf of Sen. Oketch Gicheru. view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have the two assignments. I would like to support the Senator for Nakuru City County and reiterate our sentiments. We work very closely with her and I can see she is working very hard for her people. So, we support her in that cause. view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This matter affects all counties and I rise to support Sen. Cherarkey. I want to take a different dimension on it. When COVID-19 came, the people who suffered most were the clinical officers. The disease was new and there were no equipment to protect them. Many people did not even know what was happening. In Makueni County, I assisted in burying quite a number of these officers who died when COVID-19 begun infecting people. Since they had the first contact, their remuneration after death was not defined. . view

• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this being a devolved function, it must be fully devolved. I am sure you are very experienced on this. The national Government through the Ministry of Health has refused to fully devolve this function. They have devolved a few functions, but not the money. The money has to get to the counties. The scheme of service is not clearly defined. Some counties are employing and the national Government is also employing. It has not been synchronized since the 2010 Constitution came into being. While you deal with different sections like SRC and the Ministry of Health, some ... view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this very important course. The plight of counties is now worse than it has ever been. Monies have not been remitted to counties yet statutory deductions ensue. It seems that there is no communication from these different institutions as to what is happening to the counties. When it comes to PAYE, it means, first, you have to be paid the salary so that then it can be deducted. PAYE is such an automatic deduction. You cannot close the accounts of a county assembly simply because PAYE has not ... view
