• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. The Senator for Embu is not being serious with the House. The World Bank does not choose counties where to put money. It is a flawed thinking in the ministry that picks one region and excludes all others and that is what we are protesting. Let us not mix the issue of cotton and coffee. We do not even know how much money there is in cotton. We have not seen any record or report here on cotton; we are dealing with coffee. Let us not muddy the waters; we want fairness. ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a Member of the Committee on Finance and Budget and like everybody else has said, Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud has steered this Committee very well. The Committee has met with the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), and we have gone through the formula. We have actually had a unanimous view on the formula. So, what we need and I agree with Members who have raised concerns that this is one singular most important constitutional assignment for this House, there is no other. This is a very important assignment because it is the only time ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I urge the Senate Majority Leader that the known sitting times of Parliament is 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., and 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. If we agree to sit on Tuesday, let us go by the norm of House sittings, because we have a lot of business. I have Motions of Adjournment to discuss the issue of floods, the issue of 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
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: trucks on the Malaba border that are now queuing for 40 kilometers before they cross the border, and many others. I want to urge the Senate Majority Leader to shift the time from 10.00 a.m. to 9.00 a.m., so that we do not lose this valuable one hour, to cover as much business as we can. We agree to sit on Tuesday morning and Tuesday afternoon, but let us not lose that critical hour, because precedence tells us that Houses of Parliament in this country always sit from 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: I can live with that. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. May I take the opportunity first to welcome you back in the House. I have not seen you for a while. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also support very strongly the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Vihiga County. There is always the temptation as the Senate Majority Leader says for people in Government to think that when there is an emergency, then accountability takes a back seat. They want to do things in a manner that is unaccountable and sometimes the end result is monstrous scandals and crimes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I heard the CS for the National Treasury and Planning say that he has spent Kshs40 billion on COVID-19 since it first hit the country, I was ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: sitting to deal with these appropriations. We are not aware of any House of Parliament, either the Senate or the National Assembly appropriating Kshs40 billion for expenditure on COVID-19. Sen. Mutahi Kagwe has been doing a fantastic job and everybody in Kenya is talking well of him. However, this does not substitute the desire and demand for accountability, especially now when we are even talking of the risk of freezing the resources going to counties to help wananchi in their day to day lives. We are not aware of the Government giving food to the stressed families in any place. ... view
