• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the whole country is watching on what this Senate is going to do. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these regulations that have been brought to this House, as Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. put it, are not a Bill that will have to wait for six months to be brought back again, if rejected. Those who were with us in the Committee know that I asked the CS for the National Treasury five times, “Mr. CS, what is your irreducible minimum, if you do not get the Kshs9 trillion?” He did not answer; he just kept telling us that the country is in serious problems. That meant that if we gave the Kshs9 trillion, probably, ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must be patriotic. There is no country that does not borrow, both externally and externally. Every Government borrows, but the responsibility with which you approach the borrowing is critical. We, as Senators, are enjoined by the Constitution as defenders and protectors of counties and their governments. Our Parliamentary Budget Office which is manned by very brilliant and well trained young professionals, appeared before the Committee and told us that the consequences of what we are about to do is diminished revenue to the counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the Constitution, the first charge to ... view

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: He was saying things that, at a private session with the CS – because the CS appeared before us – he did not say them. We asked the CS, “Can you show us your schedule of debt restructuring;” and he had absolutely none. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: He had absolutely none! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to salute this young lady, nominated Sen. Farhiya. She is brilliant. She voted “yes,” but for different reasons. She is a brilliant girl because she knows the figures, the facts and the economy. She has been a pillar of our Committee. I salute her on this Floor. The fact that she signed “yes” is neither here nor there. She is nominated. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, she understands. She is not protesting. Article 2(6) of the Constitution, Kenya has signed to the East African Protocol. Article 2(6) of the Constitution says that:- “Any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya under this Constitution.” The East African Protocol says that our debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio should never exceed 50 per cent. However, we are now about to take our debt to GDP ratio to 100 per cent. That is because I asked the CS what our GDP is and even if he did ... view

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: concessional funding, China – with its largest economy today on the globe – has given us only Kshs1 billion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you see what countries like the Federal Republic of Germany has given us in terms of concessional loans – Kshs29 billion – and we have no commercial loans from Germany. Therefore, between China and Germany, who is our friend? We want to open up, go and borrow more from China; extend the railway line to somewhere; and extend I do not know what to somewhere. This is killing our country. We must face the facts. We ... view
