• 7 Jun 2022 in Senate: within six months--- In fact, the Senate can make this is its 100-day pledge; that The Community Health Workers Bill shall be processed by the Senate. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, is it also deliberate that these reports for three financial years are coming to the House, when we have only four other sittings before we adjourn sine die ? The timing is rather interesting. Remember, it is this House that processed the Motion that nominated the Commissioners who represent us. What is the mischief for bringing reports for three financial years, when they know that this Parliament has only four days left? view
• 7 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to make a very brief comment on the message you have issued. First of all, to thank the county government of Laikipia. This the first time a county government is coming to the Senate for such an approval. It has been the tradition of the most county governments that when they need money, they rush to the Senate. However, when it comes to accountability, they are hesitant to come to the Senate. I hope that even if it got to the point where the Senate was to approve this guarantee by the national Government there ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in Senate: Sometimes you might find that a county is able to finance itself without going to the debt market like Laikipia has proposed. If we optimize our own source-revenue collection; If we incentivized our people so that they can be more productive, then our counties would be able to collect more and they will be using those collections to do infrastructure rather than going to the markets for instruments similar to this. We should also cut down on corruption in counties. I hope that the Committee on Finance and Budget will look on some of these issues. These include, the own ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, if you allow me, this matter is very important. Even though we are coming to an end of the term of this House and going to elections, this is so important because those aspiring to come to this Senate are going to find themselves in a shell of a House. They will not find the House that is envisaged in the Constitution. Articles 93 and 94 talk about establishment of Parliament and its role. It goes ahead to talk about Parliament being the guarantor of the will of the people. Parliament comprises the Senate and the National ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in Senate: House. We know that it is the Parliamentary Service Commission that has disabled the Senate from engaging legal aid and legal assistance and getting legal services. The same Parliamentary Service Commission allows the National Assembly to get premium legal representation and the Senate is starved of resources and approvals. Therefore, we have to use our in-House staff. If it were not for most advocates in this House, who have volunteered pro bono, probably we would have lost all the matters that we have taken to court. Even when we go on recess Sine Die and everyone goes home to campaign, ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in Senate: If we do not want to co-exist, let us not use the backdoor of omnibus amendments. Let us face the people directly through a referendum. Let us put the question to the people and ask them whether we need a Senate or not or whether we need a bicameral system or not. Let the matter be settled by the people rather than some people who just want to hide behind legislative drafting to amend the Constitution suspiciously. Senator and the Chairperson for the Senate Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we are fully and solidly behind you. ... view
• 12 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to take a minute to join you in welcoming the girls from Maliku Girls Secondary School; a powerful school from Kitui County. Allow me to also congratulate the Senator for Kitui County for being a good role model. If the Senator was not a good role model, they would not have chosen to come to the Senate. I know that the schools in my county would choose to come to the Senate, to come and see their Senator in action. They would come and see Sen. Orengo and Sen. Poghisio. This is to these ... view
• 12 May 2022 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 Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 12 May 2022 in Senate: Unfortunately, in this country, women have been left behind for far too long. This is why we do not talk about equality but equity. We must make sure that the girl child is bootstrapped and is supported to catch up with the boy child. I wish you well in your examinations. I also pray that in future, some of you will be sitting in this Chamber, not just as mere mortals but as the Speaker and as the leadership of this House. Since Kitui County was among the first counties to elect a female Governor, I also pray that one ... view
