• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Bungoma is one of the counties audited and reported in this Report under debate. The regrettable thing is that even as the Committee under the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay continues doing a good job, we are still lagging too far behind with audits. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: This Report covers the year up to 2016 while we are already in 2019. It means that we continue being morticians on public expenditure. This is not particularly good because in the course of time people lose memories, things and dynamics change, the culprits change positions and we end up failing to hold people culpable. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: I encourage the Committee that as they continue looking at these accounts, they should also be able to make firm recommendations about what needs to be done where there are transgressions of the law, mis-expenditure and above all where counties are manning and accumulating huge imprests. I just saw in the media that unaccounted for imprest in my county now stands at about KShs150 million. That is an outrage. Nobody should ever be allowed to take imprest without surrendering the previous one. It is through imprest that we lose a lot of public money. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, more importantly ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: culpability, they must recommend that other agencies of Government must take up and investigate the matter if there was criminal conduct on the part of accounting officers, so that we can have proper accountability in our management of public affairs. I say this because corruption has eaten away this country. In the old days and even in the last Parliament, public accounts management and reports coming here were taken very seriously. If you look at this, we have accounts of about 15 counties. How many of us are here? I do not know if some of us have spoken to ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me time to contribute to this Motion of Adjournment. I send my condolences, those of my family, the people I represent in Bungoma and the FORD Kenya (FORD-K) Party to the people of West Pokot County. West Pokot is a poor county set in a very difficult terrain. This is a county that has suffered neglect from colonial Kenya, through independent Governments of this country. At one time, West Pokot used to be referred to as a closed district, where the Government would close the entire county from access by anybody. Therefore, no ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, disaster management is a shared responsibility under the Constitution. The Fourth Schedule gives authority to both national and county governments to manage disaster. I do not share the view that the delay in passage of a Bill that left this House and went to the National Assembly is a hindrance. A disaster is a disaster and the response by the Government must be instantaneous and effective. When we have a situation such as what we have in West Pokot County, I expect the Government to deploy the military. Thank God that we have a military that is ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, can I have a few more minutes? view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: One minute is too little. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when Americans are killed in the countries that I have mentioned, you will never see blood and dead bodies on American television screens. Where are the morals of our country? We cannot have this kind of recklessness by people who do nothing but live on social media insulting each other from morning to evening and posting all manner of things. That has to stop. We have a law that needs to be enforced. We do not have a shortage of laws against offensive public moral behaviour. Equally important, there are areas where this devastation has taken place. ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to add my voice to the census issue, as I support the Statement by Sen. Olekina. view
