• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 56(1)(b) I rise to make a Statement on the Activities of the County Public Accounts Committee for the period commencing 1st April, 2023 to 30th June 2023. view

• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join those who believe in the institution of the Senate and the Constitution. Today, we could be celebrating the withdrawal of security of those in the Senate Minority side. However, you never know what is going to happen. Many of us have sat in this House with a sense of self-entitlement, that we had Government. However, it came to a time that those who were celebrating the Government and its injustices were the first to be thrown out of the window. Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of us sitting on the Minority side found ourselves ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: and as white as cotton. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us draw the line between the rights and privileges that are extended to Members of this House by the Constitution and the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, and separate them from the political shenanigans. I would not want to see Sen. Cherarkey in a boot of a Subaru, whether I agree with him or not. I would also not want to see Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe Ltumbesi again in the boot of a Subaru. Let us not celebrate injustice and actions that kill the institution of the Senate or fly in the ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: the Executive to be extending and withdrawing our security at its own will. I urge the House that we think about the Institution. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the County Licensing (Uniform Procedure) Bill that has been brought to the House by Sen. Mariam Omar. I congratulate her. This is her first time in the Senate and she did not spend one year before originating a Bill as important as this. This is a Bill that touches on many of the issues that we usually address on a day- to-day basis in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). It seeks to put in place uniform procedures for licensing of various activities by counties. One of the ways in which county Governments ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Sometimes they argue that when it comes to licensing and revenue raising, that is the sole mandate of county assemblies. As long as they have passed their finance bills, the Senate or any other national entity should not be dragged into that conversation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whereas I sympathize with the powers of county governments to raise revenue and the power of county assemblies to be the ones to process finance and revenue raising measures within their respective counties, we must remember that the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 is still for a unitary government, and we still have this ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are areas we will need to ask ourselves whether one overriding law would be applicable across the 47 counties. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: We have seen instances, particularly in northern Kenya, where one of the key concerns is the provision of water. We have interrogated reports of the Auditor General, where he cites a water project for non-compliance with National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) laws. The Auditor General cites a water project because Water Resource Management Agency (WARMA) is supposed to certify or approve certain projects within that space. A borehole has been dug in northern Kenya in an area that is extremely difficult to access, where all that they need is water. They do not care about what NEMA or WARMA said. ... view
