• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: If this country will embrace this Bill, it is going to be a game changer, particularly when we have a body involved. The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) will even receive serious cases from this body so that it is not the only one. Many a time, we have been saying that this body is toothless. It is the only body that has been looking out to prosecute cases without having an investigating body to refer to. I have seen many cases that have gone to the ODPP being thrown out and being declared not fit to ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: this. I thank my sister because she has even gone to the extent of finding out from other countries how they came up with such a Bill. In Part 3, this Bill provides that cases that will be deferred will be directed to the ODPP. However, this is the area which must be looked into clearly. As it stands right now, there are very many cases that have been taken to the ODPP as well and they have never seen the light of day. I know there are cases of corruption in maize. Sometimes back, we were told that some ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Today, we have been told that there are those who engage in corrupt deals but when they find out they have a case to answer, they burn their offices. They therefore, interfere with the evidence that could convict them. My prayer is that once this Bill is assented to, it should be acted upon, so that it does not collect dust like many others. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: There are many questions that come to my mind when I look at this Bill. For example, it has not declared how money that is stashed in other accounts outside the country will be established. Recently, we learnt of a case where Kshs2.5 billion was found in some banks outside the country. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: We also have cases where people trade in offices where they are supposed to serve which is not supposed to be the case. Some people also use proxies so as to trade in those offices. Others keep money in the accounts of their daughters, sons or wives. Therefore, this Bill ought to have a Clause that will follow up, not only on the officer, but also the extended family. Madam Temporary Speaker, another challenge that may affect this Bill is that it may be used to prosecute people selectively. For example, the poor may end up suffering. As my colleagues ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when you look across various Government institutions, you will realise that the only people that got prosecuted are those that stole little money or those who do not have enough money to hire good lawyers. So, this is an important Bill that requires the people’s complete mindset. There is also the issue of filling wealth declaration forms. I do not know who consumes them yet we fill them year in, year out. There are officers who fill those forms and have wealth which is beyond their means but nobody prosecutes them. Therefore, we are just filling office ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. Let me also join you in welcoming the girls from Ghanima El-Marzuq Girls High School, in Kajiado County. I encourage them to work hard so that in future, they come to this House as Senators. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Lamu County for bringing to the fore the Petition on human-wildlife conflicts. This is a challenge, not only in Lamu County, but also in other counties. It is common to see elephants destroying maize farms in Bomet County. We have had cases of lions mauling and maiming ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. I stand to support this Motion about Nairobi City County. This county was already dysfunctional because the Governor was facing charges of alleged corruption and therefore, he could not perform his functions, leave alone access his office. More than two years down the line, this county does not have a deputy governor. We had cases of County Executive Committee members (CECs) being appointed in a very erratic manner. In most cases, they were in and out of office because of being asked to leave office for some investigation to take place; which investigation was ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: In addition to that, looking at the functions around the city - which is the city in the sun - they were already very minimal. There are a lot of potholes; a lot of garbage all around; and the people of Nairobi have already suffered. In this case, I think that this action was long overdue. Article 187 of the Constitution allows the national and county governments to make a decision on which functions can be transferred to either of them to ensure efficiency. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, what has happened begs the question, what will happen to the leadership ... view
