• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: I know that some of the political formations have promised that at least 35 per cent of revenues will go to counties, but there could be practical difficulties in implementing that. What do you do, as a newly elected governor with a wage bill that is already at 60 percent? Unfortunately, that is what some of you are going to find in the counties. This time, governors are hiring all their hecklers, youth wingers and campaigners and putting them into county payrolls. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: You will find them there when you go to counties. You will realize that all the money you have is for paying salaries. There will be billions of shillings in pending bills, most of them fishy, yet you will be required to pay. You will realize that the citizens at the county, including the women in the market, are so overtaxed that you cannot increase taxes. People are in so much pain that you cannot revise your valuation roll view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am excited by the pronouncement by the SBC because I am one of the Chairs who have suffered. My Committee has not been able to process business because of the quorum issues that have been raised before the House. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I can see that Order No.13 talks of reconstitution of select committees. To give effect to your ruling, how I wish we prioritise Order No.13 and deal with this matter once and for all, so that with effect from today, the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and other committees can have the right numbers and membership in order to process important business before this House. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I support your Statement. I hope we shall deal with the Order on reconstitution of select committees today. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, when I look at the Order Paper, I see Notice of Motion by Sen. Cherargei on the same subject. You had earlier ruled that we need to be efficient in the manner in which we do business and I am wondering whether we should pursue the same subject via a Statement and a Motion. Could you rule on the direction, or if Sen. Cherargei has withdrawn the Notice of Motion, so that we make a much more efficient use of the time of the House? It is not to belittle the Statement request; it is important. Senior ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Statement and also wish to speak on behalf of the KNUT branches in my county, from Suba to Homa Bay to Rachuonyo. They have clearly told me as their Senator to reject this imposition of ideas coming from the Ministry of Education. Unfortunately, the policies in the Ministry of Education seem to be rammed down the throats of Kenyans. It was just the other day when the CBC was introduced. The then Cabinet Secretary came before the Senate Committee on Education and said that the country was not ready. Now, one month ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the Committee on Delegated Legislation that has kept us busy in the past few weeks by bringing reports in a timely manner. We are all aware that if the Committee decides not to bring reports to the House, those regulations take effect automatically. I want to congratulate Sen. Faki for making sure that regulations do not take effect by default but after consideration by the Senate. Allow me to start with the good, then go to the bad and the ugly of what we have before us. It is difficult to talk about these regulations ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the First Generation Marginalization Policy, 14 counties were listed as beneficiaries. In the Second Generation Marginalization Policy, 34 counties are going to benefit from the funds that shall be appropriated as Equalization Fund. view
