• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: We have had situations where, for example, the former Governor of Wajir built a beautiful headquarters at Kshs240 million yet we have other counties that are unable to finish their headquarters at a cost of Kshs700 million within the same jurisdiction. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to begin with, the National Bank Building which even you know is very old and derelict, it has been unkempt. It is an outrage to buy a building and spend an equal sum of money to renovate it; money that probably would have been used to construct a better building. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Secondly, Eldoret, now waiting to become a city, I understand, was the headquarters of Wareng County Council. With massive property that they own, they do not need to buy a derelict National Bank Building to have offices. We all know that they have a lot of property. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thirdly, under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, probity in the management of public resources is not an option. Public participation under our new Constitution is not an option. Were the people of Uasin Gishu County asked to accept or comment on the need to purchase this old derelict building as opposed to putting their view
• 24 Jun 2020 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

• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: In my own county, there is a group of people set up in every centre as public participants. Whenever there is an issue of public participation, they are just taken to a room, paid an allowance and minutes recorded that public participation has taken place. I am sure this is happening in many other counties because it is not just in my county. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: We need to set a threshold on who is a public participant, what is expected of public participation, what is the format of public participation outcome and approval of any required purchase or activity, so that money is put to good use. In fact, the way we are going, the biggest threats to devolution are governors because of misuse of public resources. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know of our case of a Kshs1,000 jerry can costing Kshs10,000 and it is business as usual and nobody talks about it. When wananchi raise the issue, the governor has the audacity to spend even more public resources to engineer collection of signatures ostensible to dissolve the county government because he has been asked to explain how he spent public resources. This is outrageous behaviour, this House must rein in rogue governors, so that public resources go to where they are meant and are used properly for the benefit of the people. view
