• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: sheep and cows on their behalf at the Rumuruti Market. As I said earlier, the CEO and the accounting officers should both be held liable, if it is established that public funds were lost in those adventures. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Moving on to Machakos County, we realized that there were serious weaknesses in the maintenance of cashbooks and bank reconciliations. This means that you cannot use the cashbooks as a basis to describe all transactions carried out by the county. It simply means that you cannot tell how cash was utilized in that county. There was also un-surrendered imprest of Kshs46.9 million. Going forward, you will find reports of the adventure that the county got into, as far as purchase of assets was concerned. Machakos County bought 91 Nissan Tiida model vehicles, which were supposed to ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are five other counties that have been mentioned in that Report. I may not have time to go through each and every county, but I just want to call upon the Senators from the respective counties and Senators generally to take an interest in those findings, because at the end of the day, we will be pronouncing ourselves on them. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is one area that we will need to apply our minds to. We have made references to the DCI and the EACC, and the question is; should these two bodies be jointly involved in investigations? Where does the EACC start and where does the DCI stop? Since the DCI has made it a habit to use social media to do its work, it has become fashionable to refer issues to the DCI because they know how to sensationalize issues and arrests. They time those arrests very appropriately to cause maximum pain and suffering. We are ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: that they did not have the right people to put in place a proper financial management system. In the first year, even the Public Procurement and Disposal Act (PPDA) had not been revamped to be in line with the new Constitution and devolution structures. Indeed, the PPDA that we are applying now came into force in 2015; one or two years after this financial year. Yes, there was an Act, but it had to be amended later on to take into account the county governments. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there were serious legal gaps and capacity issues, yet there ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, without a Committee on Implementation, we have no mechanism of tracking the implementation of these reports. We said that Committees would do their own implementation. I will be honest, having sat in that Committee for the last two Sessions; and this is a conversation we have had, around numbers and composition. We have said that it is sometimes difficult for a Committee to make recommendations, and find time to follow up on their implementation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have seen seven reports that have been adopted. We have 10 reports today, and there are another 20 reports in the Order Paper. The Secretariat is holed up in Naivasha, working on another 30 reports. We need to rethink the framework for implementation of recommendations of the Senate. This is because in those seven counties, we made certain drastic suggestions on investigations, prosecution and public officers who are unfit to hold public office. If the Senate will pronounce itself and nothing happens thereafter, we will be seen to be a House that is acting in ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion not because of the composition of the men and women who are there but because of the following reasons. I have looked at Article 181 of the Constitution, Standing Order No.75 and the Fifth Schedule of our Standing Orders. It is clear that the indictment of a governor as far as impeachment is concerned happens at the county assembly, and this Senate is a trial Chamber. Standing Order No.75 provides that impeachment of a governor is triggered when the Senate receives communication from the Speaker of a county assembly. I ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this letter was received by the Senate. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I will table the letter if you allow me. 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
