• 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: Report of the Auditor-General on the County Government's Revenue Funds for the 2022/2023 Financial Year and the Summary Report of the Auditor-General on the County Government's Revenue Fund for the 2022/2023 Financial Year. view
• 9 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I am happy and thank my colleagues who have spoken. I congratulate the leadership of the House, both the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader for allowing us to talk. I have been watching the proceedings for the last three days. I am happy that we are now speaking from our hearts. This will enable us to dissect and look at the issues raised by not only the Gen Zs, but also the people of Kenya. I start by condoling with the families ... view
• 9 Jul 2024 in Senate: Many people say that the tree of freedom is watered by blood. However, we do not have to take it literally that people have to die and go to hospitals, so that some of the issues that they are raising are heard. So, I wish a quick recovery for those in the hospital. As a House, we have heard your voices. I have heard many people, including some of my colleagues here, saying that, you know, when we were Gen Zs, this is what we used to do. However, it is fair to set records straight that Gen Z is ... view
• 9 Jul 2024 in Senate: we can be lectured, then people who cannot lecture us shall be the EACC. They have no moral standing to speak to this House or any person of this Republic of Kenya. It is high time that we looked at the people that have been heading this particular body. With tremendous respect, we have tried advocates. We had Justice Ringera. We have tried the professors such as Prof. Lumumba. We have tried bishops from the mainstream churches and the pentecostal churches. It is high time now that we tried a person of the stature of Sen. Omtatah to lead the ... view
