• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: I will go back to the important undertaking the Senate is called upon to do on behalf of county governments and on behalf of the nation. When you bring The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services, Senate. view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: this Motion for delegations and Senators to approve or reject, you must provide full information and full disclosure. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I had said earlier, there were 48 applicants who were narrowed down to 15 and the Committee has given us the names of two applicants for consideration and approval. I cannot make a decision in the absence of the details on the qualifications of those other applicants who had been shortlisted. In this list, I see Mr. Silas Otieno Owiti from Homa Bay who scored 59.71 per cent. At least give me a glimpse of his CV or ... view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, out of respect, I would wish to listen to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Indeed, as a member of this Committee, if there is important information that has not been brought before this House, then this Motion should be stood down. I am looking at a similar report of a nomination for Dr. Amoth and I am looking at the iPad here. There is an annexure that is 244 pages. It has minutes; it has details. Why is this different and it is a similar process, where we are being called upon to exercise our constitutional and statutory duty to make approvals or appointments ... view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: “Parliament shall allocate adequate funds to enable each commission and independent office to perform its functions and the budget of each commission and independent office shall be a separate vote.” view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Speaker, the word there is Parliament and it is not National Assembly. We have a responsibility and a duty to be engaged in the budgeting and resource allocation for constitutional commissions. It is an embarrassment when the office of the Auditor General is running around begging for funds and saying that the National Assembly has arbitrarily trimmed down the allocations. It is an embarrassment when other commissions like the Ethics and Anti- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio ... view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: Corruption Commission (EACC) come to us and say that, yes, Senate, you have referred 146 matters to us, but give us the resources to undertake our job. How can the Senate expect the EACC to carry out investigations in 47 county executives and in 47 county assemblies and yet the Senate is not involved in allocation of budget to that commission? We must rise above our partisan political formations and stand for this House. When this House insisted on vetting the Inspector General (IG) of Police, I was in this House and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was there. The initial mischief ... view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: existing plans and the personal views of the President, then you are just going to get frustrated. The question of net worth is one that has animated the nation. I saw a computation of the net worth of the nominees that are currently before the House without getting to the substance of the matter, to be Kshs10 billion and Kenyans are offended. Kenyans are offended. What is this magic that politicians play that makes them wealth that serious corporate organizations cannot make? Before I got into politics, I was in the financial services sector. You will find an insurance company ... view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: Committee (CPAC) bring a report to the House? Did the House adopt a report that recommended their investigation and prosecution? You find many people in public offices. There are reports we have adopted here. However, when we vet them, we never ask those questions. That is why I insist that this process should not be done as per Standing Order Nos.76 and 77, but it should be done in accordance with the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. Let me finalise by saying this: If we will see the annexures and satisfy ourselves that Ms. Lynette Washiali Muganda and Mr. Mohamed ... view
• 6 Aug 2024 in Senate: Let them remember that they are there to represent county governments and not their stomachs or the Executive. Let them focus on how they can help county governments to reduce their wage bill to go below 35 per cent. Right now, the general rate is 40 per cent plus. Let them focus on building synergies with the County Public Service Boards (CPSBs), County Assembly Service Boards (CASBs) and the Public Service Commission, so that we can have a better way of managing human resources in the counties. view
