• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: When we request for a Statement, it is because we do not have Cabinet Secretaries in this House. I was happy when the Chair of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare concluded by saying that the matter is going to the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. If it was the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, then he was completely out of order because he spoke as the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection. He had a lot of facts and responded as if he sits in that office. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Let us remember that as Senators, we represent the people and the counties. We do not represent the Executive and we should not be seen to be speaking on behalf of the Executive. We should bring the Cabinet Secretaries to this House to address issues particularly on the Tea Act. Of all the progressive laws that this House has passed, the Tea Act stands as one of the greatest work of legislation. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: We need to bring the Cabinet Secretary here and put him to task on the implementation of that Act. Let us not proffer explanations and answers on their behalf. Let us bring those Cabinet Secretaries here. view
• 9 Mar 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
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it will not come to the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations because the Statement was directed to the Committee on Finance and Budget. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: As someone who has dealt with similar matters in the past, when I Chaired the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC), the then Governor of Nairobi, Hon. Mike Sonko, came before the Senate. He explained the circumstances under which Kshs4 billion, which has now become a Kshs5 billion loan, was incurred. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: There are reports that the CPAIC brought to this House with very clear recommendations. Part of what we need to do is to see to the implementation of some of those recommendations. If I recall, the Governor of Nairobi came to the Senate and informed us that a third bank was offering better rates. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: The original loan was taken from Equity Bank. Along the way, they made a decision to sell the loan to KCB. Along the way, they again made another decision to sell the loan to United Bank for Africa (UBA). At a time when we had interest rate controls, the interest rate on this loan was almost 30 per cent when the average interest rate was 12 to 14 per cent. Penal interest had been applied because the county had delayed in making their installments. So, they were paying almost 30 per cent. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: To inform Sen. Sakaja, the impact of that penal interest and the interest on that loan, means that everything that is collected from Gikomba Market from our mothers, hustlers and sufferers everyday do not go into developing the city. It goes to refinance that loan. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: This is one of the biggest scandals in this country. Nairobi City County is one big crime scene. For the information of the House, tomorrow, we will be meeting the Director General of the NMS, the Governor and the Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning in this Chamber. view
