• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I understand the reason I finished primary school, went to high school and university and still found you in this House. You have not left because you take your work seriously. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I rise to second this Bill that has been brought by the Senate Majority Leader. I am being distracted by the Senator for Kisii County, Sen. Orwoba, who is now pushing that it is now time for the Senator for Kakamega County to serve his people in other positions such as Governor. That is up to him. He will make that choice right time. He had attempted it sometime back, but many other things happened. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your guidance. You are also a person we look up to since you are also serving your third term. If my calculations are right, you started serving in 2013, when I was a student. You are in that category of people who keep serving this nation. The purpose and intent of this Bill, as has been elucidated by the Senate Majority Leader, is to ensure that all our public land is registered in the name of the institutions upon which this public land has been granted. As the Chairman of the Standing Committee ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: There is something else that has been the intent of this particular Bill. I am sure the Senator for Kiambu County will be very interested in this particular conversation; the dispute that you see in the Tatu City Development structure is that; for the 5,000-acre parcel of land, there was an intention to have 406 acres of it forfeited as part of three primary schools and other utilities in that particular development. I think, of the initial 5,000 acres, 406 acres were supposed to go for public use. However, over time and as the value of that land grows, the ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Report by the Committee on Finance and Budget on the status of implementation of projects that were funded by conditional grants for construction of county headquarters. One of the counties that was a beneficiary of these conditional grants was my County of Nyandarua. The reason this was mooted in this House was to address the inequities in five counties that have been mentioned here. These are Lamu, Isiolo, Tana River, Nyandarua and Tharaka-Nithi. After hiving off, either their old district headquarters were taken to other places or they never enjoyed having ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: That project was to be undertaken jointly by both county and the national Government. We were invited by the Committee twice. The meeting included Governors and Senators from Nyandarua, Tharaka-Nithi, Lamu, Isiolo and Tana River. During the meeting, there are two things that came out clearly and that is part of the recommendations of the committee. It is fair that I also report to the best of my knowledge, especially for the case of Nyandarua in terms of the overall responsibilities of project management, including supervision, monitoring and payment of contractors. That is a secondary matter, but there was a ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: Out of the monies that we were supposed to get from the national Government in the 2022/2023 budget, which was Kshs1.8 billion, about Kshs800 million was released. I am not certain how much was absorbed in the 2023/2024 budget. If there is money still remaining at the national Government, it is high time we ensured that we send it to the counties. In that regard, it is the reason I feel that even as we deal with matters that we are speaking about, such as cutting our budgets and taking austerity measures, if there are monies that we as a ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: as well. If you ask Senators here, in most of the counties where these projects have been launched, you will find that either, counties do not have the money, they have not put the money or the national Government has not put in the money. There is a second programme from the national Government that has been very successful on the Community Health Promoters (CHPs), and we all know that we dealt with this Bill when we were in Turkana. However, as the Senators who are here will confirm, the only stipend CHPs have received are the monies from the ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have made various contributions, and it is not just a Motion like any other. This is a Motion that we would have wanted to have resolutions on. That is why we seek that colleagues agree we adjourn, so as to have resolutions on this Motion. I second. view
• 9 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Senate Majority Leader, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate today, the 9th of July, 2024- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
