• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: I was expecting that Sen. M. Kajwang’ would speak about it because he speaks about it every time we sit in the Committee on Public Accounts. We were told and heard when we were looking at the books of a certain county government that I would not want to mention here, that some officials of the Licencing Authorities produce their own licences, take them to the business people and do not have any feature that would distinguish them from the real licences. This then leads to loss of public funds. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: I feel like this has been cured by the proposal in the Bill by Sen. Mariam Omar in Article 16- “A licence issued under this section shall include a unique identifier.” view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Original licences from the Licencing Authority are able to be distinguished from fake licences from rogue licencing officers who collude with business people. You produce your own licence, go talk to the business people, get the money and the money never makes it to the own source basket. This is a major loss for the counties. This is because the win for the counties is to expand their own source revenue so that they can move ahead. It will include the name of the licencing authority and the licensee so that it is not transferrable. If Sen. Madzayo has applied ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, finally, with regard to the cancellation of licences, I am praying that this shall not become an avenue for appointing authorities to punish people who disagree with them.

I do not know how we will tighten that part, so that we protect people applying for licenses. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the Bill. Few amendments are required to make this Bill a good law for our counties in order to strengthen devolution and county governments by enabling them to collect enough revenue within the right framework. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the Senate, today 18th July, 2023. view
• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to pass my warm welcome to my former colleagues from the County Assembly of Nyandarua in the Serjeant-at-Arms Department. They are known to me because I served with them at the County Assembly. I wish them all the best as they benchmark with the Directorate of Serjeant-at- Arms of the Senate. view
• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, very much Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am particularly very excited that you have given me an opportunity to welcome the beautiful girls from South Tetu Girls, a school in Nyeri. Even though it is not my home county, on behalf of their Senator, Sen. Wamatinga, I welcome them to the Senate. I am particularly excited that amongst the students who are here is my own sister, Anna Njoki, a good girl who was left by our mother when she was a primary school kid and she has beaten all odds. I am very proud as her guardian that ... view
