• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I recall when we visited the National Council of State Legislatures in the United States, I was privileged to be in the company of the Speaker of this House. We saw how State legislatures in the United States do it. We have a PBO which has done a great job in helping Members of Parliament to understand and be part of the budget process. Our PBO is one of the best. When I talk to people outside Parliament, people in academia, the ladies and gentlemen who sit in that office have the respect of economics and ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we must revive our monitoring and evaluation ideas because if we continue looking at reports five years down the line, then we will be the morticians who operate on dead bodies. We will not be the physicians that Kenyans want us to be. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: This morning we had a conversation with the Council of Governors (CoG) and its new leadership. They told me that as at 30th June, 2020, Kenyans are owed Kshs113 billion by county governments. The report you are adopting today has a lower figure. Today Kshs113 billion, which is money that should be in the pockets of Kenyans and used to pay taxes is sitting with the Government. No wonder this economy is dying. We are becoming a wheelbarrow and mkokoteni economy and yet the Government is keeping money meant for citizens in its pocket. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, of the ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to hail the majority of staff in our counties who are doing an exemplary job. They are working with integrity and diligence. There are the health workers. I want to hail those frontline workers who have kept this country protected, safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic and who sometimes have to go work without having received their salary. Sometimes they have to go to hospitals to work in situations where there are no drugs and adequate facilities. These are the true heroes of this Republic. This is the reason why devolution exists so ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If there is one great contribution that we can make to this country and its economy, it is to pay these entrepreneurs; the young people who are doing business with county governments through their access to government procurement opportunities, the woman and the Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), who have supplied goods and services to county governments this Kshs113 billion. I believe that it is a resolution that will compel county governments, working with the Office of the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget to finalize this matter of pending bills, so be it. We ... view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will beg that you apply Standing Order No.1 and allow me to contribute to this matter. When it came for debate last week on Thursday, I was the last Senator in the Floor at 6.30 p.m. Unfortunately, I was not able to be in the House when the debate commenced. I beg your indulgence to make a contribution because Homa Bay is one of the counties whose report has been presented. I am also the one who chaired a number of the meetings that gave rise to this report. view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, notwithstanding Standing Order No.33, which you have clearly read out, there is also a Standing Order that allows a Senator to speak twice to a question. I know--- view
