• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: This is the time for a Senator to confirm and to explain to residents of their county, how much the Senate has appropriated and approved to go to counties. As the Senator for Homa Bay County, I am very proud that I have discharged my duty faithfully when it comes to division and allocation of revenue. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in 2014/2015, this House approved Kshs4.9 billion to go to Homa Bay County. In 2015/2016 Kshs5.6 billion; in 2016/2017, Kshs6.08 billion; in 2017/2018, Kshs6.5 billion; in 2018/2019, Kshs6.68 billion; in 2019/2020, Kshs7.149 billion; and, in 2020/2021, 6.74 billion. So, what do we have here? Which is the year under the review, Kshs7.8 billion? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Senate has approved the transfer of at least Kshs58 billion to Homa Bay County since devolution began. That excludes conditional grants and own source revenue. It is easy to say that in the past years of devolution, Homa ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: County should have injected Kshs40 billion into development and the local economy over the past years of devolution. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the question would be; in my ward of Gembe, do I see Kshs1 billion on the ground? In my neighbouring ward of Kasigunga, do I see Kshs1 billion on the ground? In the ward of Kendu Town which is the centre of Rachuonyo where the Governor comes from, do I see Kshs1 billion on the ground? When I switch on the radio, I hear citizens complain of improper service delivery. When I visit those areas, I am told ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: I want to hail the doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers who have put up a spirited discipline of service despite an infrastructure that is breaking down. About three weeks ago, I was informed that a perimeter wall collapsed and that messed up the sewage system. The main hospital in the county therefore did not have ablution facilities for outpatients. When someone comes to hospital with kipindupindu, then you ask yourself where they relieve themselves. Are they going to do it in the field and what is the impact of that on other patients? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the investments ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the unfortunate thing is that I have demonstrated that there is nothing to show in the health sector. It could lead to the conclusion that they have been eating everything. I would be happy if they ate Kshs1 billion less, but that is borne out of frustration. You would expect governors who are in their second term to leave something tangible and visible to be part of their legacy. Without necessarily asking Governor Awiti to eat the rest, I pray that all the money will go towards transformative projects in the county in this final budget ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: The road sector is another one where we should be seeing tangible results. Since devolution, Homa Bay County has only done 33 kilometres of tarmac. That 33 kilometres started from Gendia, passing by the Governor’s home to Kadongo. The 33 kilometre road has been part of the Auditor-General’s reports to the CPAIC from the time of commencement of that project. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a whole area like Ndhiwa has only one tarmac road. Other areas like Suba North until recently did not have a single inch of tarmac. I am not view
