Mr. Speaker, Sir, the company was placed under receivership and Pricewaterhouse Coopers Limited were appointed as the receiver manager. The labour officer also filed a report dated 16th April, 2014 indicating that the claimants were employees of KUSCO. The labour officer recommended the receiver manager to pay the claimants all their dues for the period from September, 2003 to December, 2003. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the petitioners alleged that the receivers declined to make the payment. As a result, they violated Article 10 and 232 of the Constitution of Kenya on national values, principles of governance and public service, including negating ...

Asante, Bw. Spika. Mimi pia ninachukua fursa hii kujiunga na Maseneta wenzangu kumpongeza Sen. Mwangi kwa kazi nzuri ambayo amefanya. Aliwahi kuzuru sehemu ya Jomvu Kuu siku moja na tukaenda mpaka Ukunda siku hiyo hiyo. Tukimaliza ziara ya shamba la Ukunda ilikuwa ni karibu saa mbili usiku. Naipongeza kamati yake kwa kazi nzuri wanayofanya. Pia ningependa kujiunga na Seneta Dullo kusema kwamba kuwe na mwelekeo wa kuonyesha hii ripoti itatekelezwa vipi kwa sababu maswala mengi ya ardhi yameweza kufa kwa NLC. Kwa hivyo, hatungependa ripoti hii, ambayo Kamati imekaa, ikafanya kazi kubwa iende kuishi katika shelves za NLC kama vile ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.47 (1), to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern and national importance, namely the poor state of service provision and alleged mismanagement of water, sanitation and sewerage companies in our counties. Water services are a devolved function under the Constitution, and pursuant to the provision of the Water Act (2016). The national Government is tasked with the management of water sources where the county governments are charged with the responsibility of provision of water services to the general population in their respective counties. This service ...

among other donor. This has been a lifeline for many of the water companies but, again, a lot of these funds are not accounted for. In the end, they are misapplied while people continue to suffer. These funds need a proper audit mechanism so that the loans and grants being received can be seen to add value to the counties and their people. The water companies are also supposed to provide sewage services. Majority of the counties have little or non-existent sewage services. Mombasa County has no proper sewage system and I know this could be the case in many ...

Janga la Virusi vya Korona lilipoingia, tuliona utepetevu upande wa Serikali, kuhusiana na jinsi ya kupambana nalo. Sisi kama Bunge la Seneti, tuliunda Kamati maalum ya Virusi vya Korona ijapokuwa muda wake ulikwisha na ikafunga virago. Kamati hii ilipokuwa ikikaa, kila wiki tulikuwa tunashauriana na vitengo tofauti vya Serikali. Hii ilitupatia fursa ya kujua hali halisi katika nchi yetu. Muda wa Kamati hii ulipoisha, hatukuchangua kamati nyingine na mambo yakaanza kwenda bila mwelekeo wowote.

Kama alivyozungumza Sen. Murkomen, tungekuwa sasa tunazungumzia idadi ya Wakenya waliopata chanjo. Rais Biden alipochukua uongozi, aliweka ahadi kwamba kwa muda wa siku 100, atachanja watu 300 milioni. Amehakikisha kwamba watu milioni 300 wamepata chanjo. Hapa kwetu, tunaenda hatua mbili mbele na kurudi hatua tano nyuma. Kwa mfano, tumezungumzia mambo ya kukaa mbali na wenzetu na kuvaa barakoa kwa muda mrefu. Hadi sasa, ukienda mitaani wananchi bado hawako tayari kuvaa barakoa wala kuketi mbali na wenzao.

Juzi nilisafiri kwenda Zanzibar. Kule hakuna kukaa mbali, kuvaa barakoa wala Virusi vya Korona. Watu wanaishi maisha yao kawaida. Ikiwa Serikali ingeweka mikakati thabiti janga hili halingekuwa nasi na watu wangeishi kama kawaida. Je, ni mikakati gani Serikali imeweka kuhakikisha kwamba wananchi wanalindwa? Kuongezea, huku kusuasua kwa Serikali wakati fedha nyingi zimeletwa kupambana na janga hili, kumesababisha watu kukosa imani na kanuni ambazo wananchi wanapewa ilihali Serikali yenyewe haitekelezi. Kwa mfano, wengi wanaoambiwa wavae barakoa, wakishikwa na polisi, wanatiwa rumande. Inabidi watoe hongo ili watoke. Hakuna hata mmoja wa wale walioiba pesa za kupambana na janga la Virusi vya Korona ...
