• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: The Governor had written a letter to the Committee excusing himself from appearing, saying that he had to travel to the USA for an appointment despite the fact that the invitation by the Senate Committee went out in the Month of June. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: The question that runs in our minds is whether this is a conspiracy, or a coincidence that the governors of the three counties in Ukambani region have chosen not to appear for a variety of reasons. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Secondly, governors must also know that appearing before the Senate is not a favour to the Senate, but a duty and part of their job description. Thirdly, we have had engagements with the County Public Accounts and Investment Committees of the County Assemblies of Kitui, Makueni and to an extent Machakos. We must encourage the county assemblies to exercise their function of primary oversight because they have all the time in the world to look at those books. However, the situation seems to be quite deferent, particularly for Kitui County. They are not up to date in their consideration and ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, the Committee would wish to move the House to agree with it that the next time we are having Senate Mashinani anywhere else, the governor of that county should not be excused. The Governor of Kitui indicated that she was busy hosting the Senate. Since I came to Kitui, I have only seen her at the Speaker’s Gallery. I have not seen her here or in meetings. I did not see her at dinner at the Senator’s home. Therefore, I am wondering at what point she was hosting Senators for her to be so busy that ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, finally, I wish to appreciate the Members of the County Assemblies that we have met with. We hope that will have some learnings. I also wish to appreciate other institutions that have been with us, for example, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the office of the Auditor General. There are certain public Petitions that we have handed over to the EACC. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Due to the pressure of time, the Committee shall make a more detailed report, but it was important that we bring this update to the House while we were in Kitui. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, it is good news that the Division of Revenue Bill is now being conveyed to the President for assent. May I just inquire the effective date of the Division of Revenue Bill? As far as we are concerned, when we sent a team to mediate, they were going to mediate on three specific issues; the amounts, the conditional allocations and the managed equipment scheme. Just to get your clarification that the effective date of the Bill going for assent is similar to what this Senate passed. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With a lot of respect, when we were passing the Division of Revenue Bill, there was some heated debate in the House where Members were made to debate after the vote. I believe that this time, we can do it right. If Members agree that they do not have to speak for 15 minutes, they can shorten their submissions. However, let us not stifle and truncate debate on this very important Bill. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill with the reservations that I have already stated that have been on record since last week when we were discussing the Division of Revenue Bill and also with the amendments that I am sure will follow when we go for the Third Reading. I will address certain specific issues that are contained in the Bill. What about Homa Bay County? The county that I represent will get Kshs6.74 billion as a result of the Bill that we are considering. The Bill that we are debating before the amendments are effected ... view
