• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not see the Chair of the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation here, but the Deputy Majority Leader is here. I hope that she will be able to deal with this matter. The point raised by the distinguished Senator is very important for those of us who come from counties in the western region. It used to take us less than an hour to drive from Nairobi to Nakuru. Now, it takes us three hours. The Chair should tell this House and country the rationale of having that weighbridge. Most of the trucks going ... view
• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: kilometers, it means that only on-coming vehicles can pass and vehicles going the same direction have to queue. So, this is a very important Statement. Lastly, the road from Mombasa to Malaba is the artery of the economy of this country, carrying 60 per cent of our external trade to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Congo, and sometimes up to northern Zambia, where the goods go up to Bujumbura. They are put on freights on ships in Lake Tanganyika to northern Zambia. When will the road from Mombasa all the way to Malaba be dualized, to open up the growth ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of these issues have been canvassed before the Committee on Finance and Budget, and I can see my Chairperson here. We were confronted with a situation where you find one county is building or buying a property, and when you go to the next one, the value is triple. There is the classic case of Kilifi County, where a certain mzungu built two identical houses on the same acreage on a creek. He sold one size to an individual at Kshs45 million and the other house to Kilifi County Government at Kshs300 million. Nobody did ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: We went to Wajir County and saw the former Governor built a fantastic county headquarters. It was a four storey building with a Mosque for prayer, boardrooms and everything at Kshs240 million. When you go to other counties, it is the complete opposite. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: The Committee on Finance and Budget – I hope that I speak for my Chairperson – has engaged with the Department of Public Works and set some ceilings; that if you are building a residence or chamber, it cannot be more than a certain cost. However, let me also tell the House that because of budgetary constraints, and you know the national Government is holding more money and giving counties very little, certain projects transcend financial years. So, you can have a project that can run in the first, second and third financial year for completion. In those peculiar cases, ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when Nyandarua started as a county, the governor was sitting in offices in Laikipia County, which was not tenable. Your county had no headquarters. In my view, as we move to the next level when we come back, this House must deal with the Sang Bill. The Bill provided that Senators chair boards of development in our counties, so that we can see how money is spent. view
