• 9 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have been struggling to check the time. Yesterday we had an issue with the various clocks in the House. They were reading different scripts and it was raised as a point of order and directions were given by the Chair then that the clock on my left, right and the one directly against the Chair should be in sync. Madam Temporary Speaker, I believe there must have been a missing link in terms of administration. Indeed, that is what misguided Sen. Mungatana as he was struggling to check on the time. However, with that ... view

• 8 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it would not have been my wish to stop the trail of thought of my leader, Sen. Wambua. However, I am a bit confused with the way these two clocks are working. On this clock, it is 6.12 p.m. and on the other, it is 6.13 p.m. I do not know which one the House is using at the moment. Therefore, I do not know which side of the hemsphere this Senate is operating from. I want some clarification so that we can time ourselves properly. view
• 2 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had already made part of my contribution. Before I stopped, I was painting an image as a Member of the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) and my Vice-Chairperson is here. I wanted to show how county governments end up with holes in their budgets. I was pointing to this scenario which is uniform among all our counties when it comes to own source revenue. Even if we make payment of these pending bills a first charge and county governments do not estimate their own source revenue in regards to what they have collected within that ... view

• 2 May 2024 in Senate: bills for recurrent. You only find pending bills for development. Therefore, county governments must take it very seriously, especially when it comes to their own source revenue. Finally, when I last stood here, I said that governments have perpetuity. Some counties have had two or more governors. For example, Nyeri and Kiambu counties have had more than three while Nyandarua has had three governors. The moment the first governor left office, the second governor when he took over, established a pending bills verification committee. Now, if you have looked at all your pending bills, all of them and processed, you ... view

• 2 May 2024 in Senate: was at the university has not been paid. Now auditors are being asked to verify whether the grass was planted on that stadium in 2015. What are we doing to our counties? What are we doing to our resources? If the people of Nyandarua County have never had an opportunity to use Ol Kalou stadium, where is prudence in the usage of the resources? How do we say that the people of Nyandarua County are benefiting from facility? It is not just about pumping money into a project. It is about pumping money into a project that is helpful to ... view
• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, much Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make my comments on this Bill. In reference to Article 96, I find this as one of the most important Bills that we process, not that the other Bills that we process here are not important. This Bill that will denote money that will be send to the counties for the next financial year is important. When most of us get an opportunity to go to the villages, we talk to our people and remind them that our work here is to defend devolution. Every time we speak, ... view
