• 28 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate your generosity and your words of advice. It is difficult to walk both path, but I will attempt. I started by saying that it may not be murder, but we will reduce some of these malpractices to manslaughter. However, there are some that are so painful that you can clearly see a deliberate chain of deception. I have talked about Sero Youth Polytechnic whose details are on page 31. I want it is to be on record that the Auditor-General indicated that the LPO, invoice and payments were all done on the same day. ... view

• 28 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we will call them Okonyo Senate. It means that the Senate has been helped. Just to wind up, if you do not maintain a revenue cash book, it means you do not know how much you are collecting. We send money to counties from national collections and they collect money from the market women; people who have already paid Value Added Tax (VAT) on whatever products that they are paying, yet we cannot account for it. The Committee has made certain recommendations and given the county some timelines to put some of these things in place. ... view

• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join my colleagues in welcoming the delegations from Siaya and Vihiga counties. As you are aware, Siaya is one county that has produced the Vice President of this nation, the Prime Minister of this nation, the President of the United States of America (USA) and the future President of Kenya. Vihiga County is not left behind because they have produced a Vice President of Kenya whose tenure was the shortest. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on matters devolution, I want to encourage the Members of the County Assembly to guard devolution jealously. We tend to say that if things are rotten at the national Government, we cannot afford the same state of affairs in the counties. They are our savior who will ensure that women see the benefits for which they pay taxes. I also want to encourage the MCAs because, sometimes when we talk of violence in elections, we think that violence will only come in the presidential elections. I have observed the heated campaigns for the positions of MCAs all ... view

Before I get to the details of this particular Motion and the Report of the Mediation Committee, allow me to pass my condolences to the family, friends and the nation on the sad demise of Mama Lucy Kibaki who was the third First Lady of this country. Nowadays, there are some characters who operate from the belly of the State House bearing titles like Presidential Communication Unit but what ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are those that will not meet the threshold but they are very serious. However, there are also a few that will not meet the threshold and we could call them jokers. I can give you an example. Article 91 of the Constitution is about basic requirements for political parties. They are listed from (a) to (h) and that is about eight distinct requirements. If you apply that benchmark to political parties in this country, you might find some that do not live up to the expectations of the Constitution. So, those that do not qualify ... view
