• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: I was extremely embarrassed recently when I had the opportunity for the first time to sit with President Ruto in a room when he visited my region. When it came to what leaders were asking for from the national Government, you would find those who already had a responsibility and a budget to deliver devolved services were still asking the President for houses, markets, water and roads. Yet, this Senate works very hard. We are here up to this time to send Kshs400 billion so that roads and markets can be built, water can be provided and hospitals can be ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let us not despair. Those bad habits sometimes run for five years. I know Sen. (Dr.) Murango has waited longer than many of us. However, as sure as dawn, it will come. Sometimes it appears darkest when it is close to dawn. You have entrusted us, as members of the committees, to ensure there is proper accountability for those resources. We must step up our game, do more, bring more reports, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard ... view

• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: I was happy to read the Cabinet dispatch from the Cabinet meeting of this week. One of the first action items that they resolved was to strengthen governance. I saw that we are going to bring an omnibus Bill talking about governance laws. I hope that will tighten the loopholes that many of these corrupt people have been slipping through. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the guy who attempted to shoot Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida was arrested that afternoon and taken to court the following day. Proceedings are ongoing and judgment will be rendered quickly. Why does ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, together with Sen. Cheruiyot, we have been in this Senate from the 11th Parliament. This Senate has changed. We are no longer able to execute our functions in committees or even do parliamentary diplomacy, which is a critical aspect of any Parliament. The problem is not just the allocations at the committee level. The problem is a global allocation to the Senate and to Parliament as an institution. We have allowed people to ride roughshod over us, contrary to Article 249(3), which requires this Parliament to allocate adequate funds to enable each commission and independent office ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to comment on the statement on the state of education and the state of healthcare in the country. We resumed our sittings yesterday. During recess, we lost 21 children at the age of 12 to an unfortunate fire at Endarasha Hillside Academy. On behalf of the Homa Bay delegation, I wish to convey the condolences of the people of Homa Bay. A House with a conscience ought to have resumed its sittings with a minute's silence. I am a parent of a child in that demographic. My son turned 12 years old. I ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: or security, to go to Endarasha to establish the facts. We cannot trust the Government or the executive to tell the story. That is why Parliament exists such that if something has happened in this nation, Kenyans are very skeptical of the account that the national executive provides. I encourage the relevant committee, that if possible, all of us must go to Endarasha. We must establish the facts and assure the parents that it is safe to reopen the school. You can imagine the trauma that will visit other children if they are forced to go back to a school ... view

• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on matters of fact, I was with the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, at Moi University, at the Student Centre. We went to address a Kamukunji not too long ago. The students told us the kind of problems they are facing. Is Sen. Cheruiyot in order? In the morning session, while he was away lambasting Members who were not here, Sen. Cherarkey and Sen. Onyonka put the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection to task because he had brought us a schedule showing the jobs we have exported. It is a fact that, that report ... view
