• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they have not come here. I think they avoided Nairobi. Animal welfare--- view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in terms of tracts of lands, Nairobi City County has no farms. That is what I meant. As it is now, with those functions transferred, the Nairobi City County Government is a shell. As the Senate, we must understand the implication of Article 187 (2) (b) that transferred functions still become the constitutional responsibility of the devolved government. I do not know how they will manage that. Going forward, even if Nairobi City County Government transferred functions to the national Government, this Senate should ensure that the county government has the responsibility. The electronic version of ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: According to Article 187, the transfer should have been between the two levels of government. Maybe the governor was totally incapacitated. Sorry to use the wrong word. They were obliged to do what they did. That is good for Nairobi City County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Article 189 of the Constitution requires a lot of cooperation between the two levels of government. I think that was lacking, just the way the Senate was not involved. The national Government should have advised on what needs to be done in Nairobi City County Government, but that did not happen. If you look ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, but you will have to add me time. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Nairobi City County for that information. It is well taken. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while accepting the transfer the way it was done because, as I said, it was inevitable, I also fear transferring functions from a county to the national Government. The Constitution foresees the transfer from the national Government to county governments, but this is upward. I hope that the circumstance in Nairobi City County will not be precedent setting because it is dangerous. We will witness the clawing back of devolution. Devolution must be respected, but where there is a problem, it must be provided for in the law. If the Governor of Nairobi City County was ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas Kenyans can petition this House on anything that they deem fit, at times we must be very careful. This country has a history which must be respected. We must respect those Kenyans who came up with our National Coat of Arms and Flag. Since KANU was the lead party at Independence time, I have no problem with the cockerel being present on the Flag. An attempt was made in 2003 when NARC came to power, to remove all these things from the Flag and the Coat of Arms. As we consider this Petition, ... view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter. It is as if we are facing double tragedy. One, the issue of Al Shabaab is very serious. Kenyans are losing their lives at the hands of those thugs, but again, you also lose your livelihood and future because of actions by departments of Government that are also reckless and very irresponsible. view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: The question asked by the Senator is very pertinent. We would like as Kenyans to discuss the issues and see why this action is being taken by the TSC, a commission of Government that apparently is becoming a law unto itself. We do not want to surrender to view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Of course, you know we are falling into the trap of Al Shabaab by doing what they want. As the Senate Committee on Education looks at this matter, I would like us to properly engage so that the matter is brought forth because it is recurring every time. In fact, we discussed in the last Session in this House. The same matter was raised in the other House. It is important that, as leaders, we discuss and bring these people to the table and see what the issues are and how to deal with them instead of one group making ... view
