• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: It is not only in Kisumu County. I cite Kisumu County because it is a disappointment to this House, when a person who was an eminent and distinguished Member - a person whom we are very proud of - would have these things happening under his watch. It has happened in my own county of Homa Bay. It has also happened in Migori, Busia and Kitui counties. Therefore, I agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that these are deliberate cases of arson. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we dealt with these issues last year when these counties came before the Senate. We insisted that each county government must, within three months, implement a risk management framework. That is a requirement in the law; it is in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. Some of these counties have fire engines that can respond to fires in markets, but not in finance departments. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) comes in to investigate--- One comical case was the one for Migori County, where we even had a report from the DCI saying that investigations were underway. That was the beginning and end of the statement. In Homa Bay County it is the same story; that investigations are under way. The DCI is letting this country down. We know some of the shenanigans happening in counties between the DCI and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). We demand to be told the truth around these fires. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chair of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, he has really gone out of his way to get responses to this House. The failure of this Presidential system that we have is that we are putting Sen. Ndwiga on the spot to answer to the inefficiencies and the laziness of a Ministry over which he has no control. I look forward to a day when Sen. Ndwiga will be the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, answering questions from Members rather than acting as a conveyor to go to Kilimo ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: The Cabinet Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries came here and it is clear that the Government has got no strategy. It has got many tactics and I think that their main strategy is to pray that God blows a wind that will take the locusts to another country, to pass the problem to another country. I did not hear it in his Statement, but the Cabinet Secretary had agreed that he would bring to Parliament an economic and social impact analysis of the locust infestation and that should go on record so that in two weeks, that comes to ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Bungoma, included. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Kiswahili was declared a national disaster in Homa Bay County; so, I shall not go there. Could the point of order raised by Sen. Zawadi confirm the fears of Sen. Kinyua, that Sen. Wario’s head was checked? Indeed, he is not correct, because Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri raised the same thing here. How did we get to COVID-19, yet the debate was about insecurity? Madam Temporary Speaker, could you direct that Sen. Wario seeks a second opinion on that matter? view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement. It is one of the things that the public expects the Senate to comment on. Not too long ago, the Nyanza region was hit with an acute shortage of blood. That was after one of the donors who was supporting blood donation initiatives pulled out. That is the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which is an American foundation. I took a visit of the Homa Bay County Teaching and Referral Hospital to assess the progress of establishment of a blood bank in that hospital. Three or four years down ... view
