• 3 May 2023 in Senate: recommended by the County Education Board, so that we have a Board that can take care of these children wholesomely. I think I skipped Clause 10 as I thought--- view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity. I would like to first congratulate the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations for fishing out the laws that need to be amended to comply with the new Constitution. This Constitution was supposed to do practical things, but unless we have enabling laws and policies, it is very difficult. We are very fortunate that this is being done at the time when you are in this House as a former governor. When we have two former governors sitting in this House, we will be able to actually look at what ... view

• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: It is no surprise that the agriculture, livestock and fisheries sector have the largest number of laws that need amendment. It is no wonder that we have not been able to devolve agriculture properly and yet in the Constitution everything has been devolved except policy. The same thing is in the Ministry of Health (MOH). The Ministry has 25 laws which need to be aligned to the Constitution. view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: The third is on land, environment and natural resources. It is no wonder these three sectors have been highly disadvantaged as far as devolution is concerned. Therefore, I support the Committee in their recommendation that this Senate should focus on that. Focusing on this is far more advantageous more than ever before because we have those who have been Governors before here. The other aspect of alignment they should take into consideration is the international laws that we have ratified as a country. view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: We have ratified the Abuja Declaration and we know the percentage of money that should be going to some of the health sector. If we do any amendments, we must ensure we carry that onboard. We keep discussing and arguing over the Division of Revenue Allocation (DORA) yet we are in a country that has declared the percentage of money that should be going to these sectors. Any International law that has been ratified is as good as our own law. I urge that when Committees sit and look at these laws, they should also comb the international laws ratified ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the CS for a well detailed response which has opened the other things for all of us. We know him to be a thorough person. I want to ask the CS whether there is a policy of handling people who have been displaced by Government for reasons like the one that happened this time where people were moved from their places. From the media, we saw people who were in a very bad situation. Is there a policy stating that food and sanitation must be provided? This is because it becomes ... view
• 20 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice on this Bill. I rise to support the Equalization Fund Bill. The Equalization Fund was established under the new Constitution in 2010, under Article 204 (1). The reason for establishing this Fund was to equalize the country as the name says. It was meant to address the very basic needs in the society; the issues of water, accessibility through roads, health facilities and electricity. It was a very nice breakthrough in the BOMAS discussions that the basic needs of Kenyans were articulated as areas of ... view
