• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the report of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare that is chaired by our senior in the House, the very able Sen. Murgor. This report is with regard to the Persons with Disabilities Bill which was sponsored and brought to this House by Sen. Crystal Asige who has played an exemplary role in promoting and mainstreaming the conversation about persons with disabilities in this Parliament. She has truly lived up to the calling that led to her nomination to this Senate. Congratulations, Sen. Crystal Asige. I am aware that there could ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: framework was being established through the National Council for Persons with Disabilities to oversee the implementations of the provisions of the Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we commented on this Bill, we were happy that it provided certain tax reliefs and fiscal incentives to encourage employment and support of persons with disabilities. I am happy that the National Assembly did not object to the main principles that were espoused in that Bill. The basic structure of the Bill has remained the same. The National Assembly has brought back more or less editing and slight corrections that would further enrich ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: then for those of us who are still in pre-publication scrutiny on our Bills, it is a bit discouraging. So, I hope we can look at our internal processes and find a way of fast- tracking things. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to hail the National Assembly that for the first time they have not pulled the money Bill card, which has been used to kill legislation that is originating from the Senate. This is the spirit with which we should operate. It must be put on record that we can never condemn the National Assembly in a ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: I second, Mr. Temporary Chairperson. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Hon. Senators, for the convenience of the House, we shall defer Order Nos.11 to 16 pursuant to requests by the sponsors and the movers of the various Bills. view

• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: We had a few challenges before I get to the content of the report that is before us. We have two reports. One report is about 2,300 pages long. It is a detailed report of audit issues identified in each county government. It contains the observations of the Auditor- General, the response of the management, and the recommendation of the Senate. However, the more useful report that I would wish to direct the Members of the Senate to is a 200-page fiduciary risk report, a detailed report that summarizes all the risks that were identified by the Auditor-General in the ... view

• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The county assemblies ought to have considered all these reports because primary oversight is exercised at the county assembly level. In our consideration of the reports, we did not come across any county assembly that had already considered the reports. It would appear as if our brothers and sisters in county assemblies have absconded their primary oversight role to the Senate. Part of the recommendations we are making is on how the Senate can help build the capacity of county assemblies to be able to be the first line of oversight. In terms of ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: million would probably sink eight wells. However, they paid that for insurance and the vehicles are not moving. That is in the report. Nairobi City County spends Kshs146 million to pay salaries for former Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) staff after expiry of their contract. Further, Kilifi County paid Kshs71.5 million to legal firms without proper authorization. Kilifi County went ahead and paid Kshs13.1 million for upgrade of Shanzu Law Courts yet county governments are separate and independent. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, why would you spend that on the law court? Wajir County spends Kshs25.9 million on classrooms in primary and ... view
