• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 49 is important since it amends part of the Public Finance and Management Act. This is a very interesting Clause because it speaks to issues of revenue allocation to the counties. We have been having several fights in this House trying to allocate funds to the counties. Last year it was even more challenging. This one is speaking to the fact that one will use the current audited accounts by the Auditor-General. This will go a long way in ensuring that there is reduction of time in terms of waiting for funds that go to the ... view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: actually felt that it was not good. While the Judiciary forms another arm of the Government, it has got to show a lot of efficiency. The only major challenge here is the appointing authority of the Ombudsman. If the Office of the Ombudsman is streamlined, it will go a long way to ensure there is transparency and accountability in the Judiciary. There has been a lot of backlog of cases. Some of them going as far back as 10 years. Sometimes we are talking about the shortage of judges, but some of the cases have been affected by corrupt practices ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is my hope that the money will now assist the county governments to pay the bills to the people who have offered them their services. Some counties have even had a challenge paying salaries. My major worry is the lumping of conditional grants and equitable shares. I want to isolate a case where Kshs2 billion was dispatched for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. Many counties used that particular fund to put up excellent TVET institutions, but there are two counties that diverted funds because of corruption, which is rampant in the counties. Now ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for givig this chance to also support this Motion as amended. The President of this country did not direct Parliament as many people have alluded to because I listened carefully to the speech. He requested the two Speakers of the two Houses to discuss with MPs so that they amend the calendar accordingly. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Right now our country is in a challenging period because we are losing many people. The ones being recorded are even fewer because in most cases there are deaths, but people do not know whether they are due to COVID-19. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Like the President said, despite the fact that this House has a lot of work to do, it is important to choose life as opposed to imagining that our economy will go down. Without healthy people, the economy will still be low. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Now that Committees will have a leeway to continue with their work virtually and in extreme cases they can even meet physically, but they must follow COVID-19 protocols. That shall ensure that we contain the spread of COVID-19 because the numbers are rising. Recently the positivity rate was at 20 per cent and yesterday it was 26 per cent. Nobody knows. Maybe by close of business today, we will be informed that it is over 30 per cent. We all know that as more people become infected with COVID-19, our health facilities become overstretched. For that reason, by altering our ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: The Motion in an amended form will further enhance the work of the Committees, more specifically, the Committee on Health. A few minutes ago, we were told that Kshs241 billion will be used in the fight against COVID-19. Since the time of the ad hoc Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya expired, the Committee on Health should view
