• 14 May 2025 in Senate: fines, imprisonment or other punitive measures to safeguard the authority and dignity of Parliament. From experience, governors are happy to pay the Kshs500,000 fine and go scot-free. view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Further, the Committee requested the clerks of the 47 county assemblies to submit written management responses. The committee resolved to adopt the Auditor-General’s reports for 45 county assemblies as submitted by the Auditor-General. The committee noted that two county assemblies, namely, Homa Bay and Migori, had adverse opinions and prepared its report on the two county assemblies, which were tabled and adopted by the Senate. The Committee further conducted a comprehensive fiduciary risk analysis from the Auditor-General’s reports for all the counties during FY 2023/2024. This rigorous examination revealed systemic weaknesses in public financial management across county governments, with a ... view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Since this report was restricted to the period up to 30th April, 2025, when we make our subsequent reports, we shall update the House on how the Committee has responded to the ruling delivered by Justice Aburili on 7th May, the county visits that the Committee has organised and how the Committee has planned to ensure that the resolutions of the House on 27th March are closed and matters that were referred to investigative agencies are addressed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Members of the Committee and the dedicated secretariat who worked tirelessly and ... view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the person who represents the people of Nyamira in this House is Sen. Okong’o Omogeni. He is the one who moved the Committee to carry out an inquiry on matters to do with the affairs of the Assembly in Nyamira County. Generally, when a Senator escalates such matters to the Senate, we must take it seriously because it implies that he attempted other methods of reconciliation and failed. He, therefore, saw it fit to bring it to the Senate. Sen. Omogeni brought this matter to the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations on 1st April, 2025. I ... view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: My concern is as follows. In those 45 days since Sen. Omogeni flagged this issue, laws are being passed, budgets are processed and public participation is ongoing in two different assemblies; and withdrawals are being authorized from the County Revenue view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Fund, perhaps with the authority of two different assemblies. This Senate must put a stop to that nonsense, because there is no better way to describe it. In as much as this is an interim report, we must put a stop to that absurdity. It is that absurdity that made the drafters of our Constitution to introduce Article 192 that allows for suspension of county governments. The County Governments Act says that a county can be suspended where the people or the leadership of the county engage in activities that are detrimental or against the objectives of devolution. What else ... view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: I wonder how the Controller of Budget (CoB) is handling requisitions authorized by two different assemblies. There is a big problem, and I wish Sen. (Prof.) Odhiambo Ojienda had a far-reaching recommendation on the Controller of Budget to stop authorization of withdrawals from an assembly that is not recognized in law. If we are going to go with the persuasion of Sen. Mungatana, then Sen. Abbas must convince us. This matter has been in his Committee for 45 days. What is it that we must do for the people of Nyamira to know that we are serious? Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: We want bold recommendations, even if the Committee is visiting Nyamira tomorrow. We must put a stop to the leakage of public resources through illegal activities that are being perpetrated by actors in Nyamira. It is for that reason that I would support the interim recommendations as proposed by Sen. (Prof.) Odhiambo Ojienda. However, the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations must also move with speed. If we cannot solve this matter in Nyamira, then this House is as good as useless. I support. view
