• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, onto agriculture. We appreciate that the economy of Homa Bay just like many other counties is rural and based on agriculture. What puts money in the pockets of the people of Homa Bay County is fish and cattle. I will tell you that I went to school as a result of proceeds of cattle because a cow is the bank of the rural economy. The other day it was said that Gendia or Kendu Bay Town which again is next to the governor’s home does not have a single bank. It does not worry me because ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the fisheries sector in Homa Bay County has collapsed. The fish processing plants that were put up by private players have now been turned into warehouses. The county government has not made any tangible effort to revive the fisheries economy. The only thing they have done is to license operators from China and the USA to put up cages in the lake from which they extort tolls and do nothing to empower the local communities. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Homa Bay County used to be the leading producer of cotton. We had Homa Bay, Busia and Kitui counties. That was before the mitumba revolution came in as a result of poor Government policies. However, it is now the responsibility of county governments from the principle of subsidiarity to ensure that they revive local agricultural sectors where a county has got competitive advantage. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: One day when we were looking at the reports of the Auditor-General, we stablished that the County Government of Homa Bay had placed an order for a ginnery. Five years later, the ginnery has not been delivered. The prospective cotton farmers in Homa Bay County cannot undertake cotton farming because the ginnery that would add value to their products has not been delivered, yet the Auditor-General confirmed that money has been paid. What a shame if this can happen in a region where the people feel proud that the governor is the son of the soil? When it comes to ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: wonderful ideas came up like establishing an animal feed factory in a place called Arujo. Today, five years down the line, and it is cited by the Auditor-General every year, we do not have an animal feed factory. Areas like Suba and Gwasi are fertile. There is black cotton soil that is rich for production of grains such as maize sorghum and millet. An excellent idea was mooted. There was a proposal to put up a milling plant in a corner called Gigoto in Suba South Constituency. Five years down the line, we have not received a single bag of ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: The question is; where did the Kshs80 billion go to? That is the elephant in the room. If you sum the total allocations and to divide that by the number of wards, you will realize that something is amiss in most of our county governments. The amount that we are approving today will be added on top of the own source revenue that is collected from mama mboga, mama samaki and mama sweet potato. Let us make sure that we, as a Senate, come up with proactive approaches to oversight that money. That is one of the proposals in the ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Cherargei to disparage a decision of this House? A constitutional amendment Bill was brought to this House and we voted. Sen. Cherargei had time to say all those things. There was a resolution and the Bill carried the day. That therefore becomes a decision of the House. Is he in order to start speaking as if the issue of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill is before some village baraza, yet it has already gone through the First, Second and Third readings and has been ... view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate, today, Tuesday 25th May, 2021: - Report on the Impasse on the Budgetary Estimates for the Financial Year 2020/2021 for Kirinyaga County between the County Executive and the County Assembly. view
