For those of us who look at books of accounts on almost a daily basis, the 47 county governments are beginning to look like 47 payroll offices, because the bulk of what they do is to pay salaries and to chase for the exchequer to be released.

• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unfortunate that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has sat down, but when I was moving the Bill, I indicated that this House benefits from the wisdom of two Members who were there in Naivasha when we decided on 47 counties.

They have said that they held their meetings and decided that for this Bill, they are going to lobby their respective Senators, so that we ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the caucus members include CECM in charge of water from Bomet and he has asked us to oppose this Bill. The CECM in charge of water from Mombasa, where Sen. Miraj allegedly comes from, has asked us to oppose it. That includes the one for Kisii where Sen. Orwoba allegedly comes from. They have also asked us to oppose it. view

• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have no idea where she comes from. So, there is nothing for me to apologize over. If someone went to a good school, the word “alleged”--- view
