• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: When we plant trees today, it means that we are planning for the future. It also means that we are already writing a will bequeathing something for the future generation. A tree is not something that you will plant now and benefit from it immediately. A tree’s life span is not like that of Simon Makonde who was born on Monday, went to school on Tuesday and eventually died on Friday. A tree has a longer life. A tree guarantees that future generations will be water secure. It guarantees that the air that our children will breathe in future will ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: When driving into Nakuru, back in the days - I am not certain whether it is still there – the highway used to be lined with trees. I still see a little bit of them, but with the expansion of the road, probably those trees have disappeared. We need to bring discipline back to our infrastructure projects. Through this Motion, we need to make it mandatory that those people in public works or in charge of the grand infrastructure projects, will also have an environmental concern as they execute them. Madam Temporary Speaker, the statistics look bleak indeed that the ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: South C in Nairobi. We also have the Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. Again, instead of promoting the trade in fish and its derivatives for it to be placed in a strategic location like along the lake, the ocean or Lake Turkana, we are told the headquarters shall be in Nairobi. I believe the headquarters of KFS is also in Nairobi, at Karura Forest. However, I would be happier if we took KFS to Mau Forest, so that it sits there and protects Kenya’s greatest water tower. Issues of Mau Forest should not be militarized when we have a KFS. If ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Upon consideration, it was found that, that was not going to be the best option for the residents of Kwale County. The challenge to the Executive was that they had to report back to the Assembly and tell them why that recommendation cannot be implemented. Madam Temporary Speaker, if the Executive will feel that this Motion by Sen. Kibiru is un-implementable, then it is the duty of the Executive, within three months of the adoption of this Motion, to come back to Parliament and tell us why they cannot recommend it. Otherwise, I see no reason this Motion should not ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join you in welcoming Members back from the relatively short recess. In response to the reports that have been tabled by the Senate Majority Leader, Article 229(7) of the Constitution requires the Auditor-General to table them before Parliament, or the relevant county assembly. The key words are to ‘the relevant county assembly.’ I wish to beg your decision and direction on which reports from the Auditor- General ought to be tabled before this House and those that should be tabled before the county assemblies. The fund reports that he has tabled, from our ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: for the 47 county executives and 47 county assemblies. Today, we have a report, one single report for county assemblies and county executives. I beg that even if it requires through your leadership to sit with the CPAIC, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) and the Auditor-General so that we determine this matter, once and for all. We, as a Committee, have many reports before us. They are clogging our work and sometimes we are not very clear the expectation the House has on the relevant Committee when it comes to this Car Loan and Mortgage Fund accounts. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of information to my friend, the distinguished Senator for Kericho. I wish to inform him that Nakuru County and Meru County Public Accounts Committees joined us here in Nairobi when their governors appeared. In the last one week, we have been to Kwale and Mombasa counties. In all the sessions that we held, were in the presence of Members of the Public Accounts Committee from those counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform my friend that we are developing a model; a prototype which we think will work. We believe that this Committee is more effective ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to support this Motion that has been brought to the House by the Senator for Vihiga County, Sen. Khaniri. The essence of this Motion is to urge the House to agree that the nation should create support services for members of the disciplined forces and their families. The House operates through various instruments; that is Motions, Bills and through other resolutions of the House. We have seen in the past when Members bring their Motions, they are debated upon, and a lot of detail goes into those debates; but we find certain challenges ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of implementation of Motions of this House is an issue that my County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) has been grappling with. We have realized that the law provides that an accounting officer or any person with responsibility to implement the resolutions of Parliament, must do so within three months; failure to which, Parliament has been given powers to undertake any action, be it administrative, punitive or recommendations for prosecution. This is important, because in the life of this Parliament, there are very many Motions that we have passed. I remember there was one ... view
