• 28 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I feel that the commission should be inclusive of the county government representatives. I believe that at an appropriate time, we will propose some amendments to cater for programmes for the county governments. view
• 28 May 2019 in Senate: I beg to support. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to seek a clarification on this matter. You committed the Statement by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. to the Committee on Energy which was rightfully placed. However, there is the issue of the environment that Sen. Sakaja is talking about. The issue of disposal of waste into Nairobi River should not be handled by our Committee because ours is not a committee on environment. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to add my voice to this very important Statement. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: I would like the House to be aware that we visited Wajir County with Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, the Chairperson of the Committee and other Senators from Wajir. In Wajir Mixed School which is a day school, we found that there was a shortage of 27 teachers. They have over 70 students in one class and six streams. In Wajir Girl‟s Secondary School, which is a national school, they have a shortage of 17 teachers. Only one girl in that school got a C+. So, where do we expect to get C+ to take to teachers‟ colleges from this region if ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to add my voice to this very important Motion. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. Omogeni for having thought about the implementation of this Motion and Report of an view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: committee that was passed in 2015. I regret that this House passes very important Motions, reports and Bills, but the implementation is not followed up to date. As I congratulate the Committee that went to identify and inquire into the status of county headquarters, I also blame them because all counties need to have county headquarters. Categorising our counties into those that are in dire need and those that are not in dire need was not a good way of considering the counties. It is discrimination. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Wajir County has a good headquarters with 150 offices that accommodate the county employees. We also have other counties with employees and the CECs working from the district hospitals or the old administration offices. In fact, the county offices are spread all over. The distribution of resources to be used in building county government infrastructure should have been done in a uniform manner for each county to have a place to host its employees. As I speak, our county employees are being hosted in private premises. In Kajiado County, the county public service board is hosted in different places and ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: It becomes easy for the citizens to be served when the offices are in a centralised place. When in a governor‟s office or the deputy governor‟s office, an officer from any other department can be called to assist you if their offices are in the same place. In that case, one can get services at the right time. I think that this recommendation was biased. All county governments should have been given some money. I want to urge my colleague, Sen. Omogeni, to recommend that the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations visits the counties. He should have proposed the ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: We need offices and other infrastructures, so as to serve our people well. We need automated systems to collect revenue at the right time and in a transparent manner. Some of our revenue offices are small and located in insecure places. You cannot access the revenue office in Kitengela, Kajiado County, because it is in a noisy and squeezed plot, yet that is where the citizens are expected to pay rates that are used to improve service delivery. We need well-furnished offices with enough equipment to serve our people effectively. I support this Motion and urge Sen. Omogeni to follow ... view
