• 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
• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: I was very impressed when we went to bury Gov. (Dr.) Joyce Laboso. Our distinguished colleague from Bomet County, Sen. (Dr.) Langat, told us that the late Gov. (Dr.) Laboso – may her soul rest in eternal peace – had invited him to chair all meetings where development programmes were decided. So, he knew what was going on. This idea of governors seeing Senators as enemies, frightful characters or witch-hunters must stop, so that we give the public value for money. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Lastly, let me talk about the enforcement of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. It has clear provisions. It is a criminal offence for anybody in authority to procure goods or services without an attendant budget. This idea of pending bills should not even arise if the law was enforced. Everybody must be held to account. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we find ourselves in a situation that requires very innovative thinking to resolve this. Article 6(2) of the Constitution creates two levels of government; the national Government and county governments. They are distinct and interdependent, and should conduct their mutual relations on the basis of consultation and cooperation. There is nowhere in the Constitution either an expressed or implied provision of live and let die. It is live and let live. They must be interdependent and cooperate. Even in this situation that the country has found itself in, thanks to our colleagues in the “lower House,” ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: equivalent of the allocation of last year to continue, particularly with their recurrent requirements. However, knowing how this country operates, the witch-hunts and everybody looking for authority to do something that they ought to do even under the law, I suggest that you direct the Committee on Finance and Budget to bring a Motion to this House that urges the CoB to exercise her discretion and authority to allow drawings on vote on account. If she is looking for any legitimate and legal cover, the Motion and the resolution of this House will give her that legitimate and legal cover, ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: The current operations of the national Government are not based on the Appropriation Bill, because the Appropriations Bill that was passed is annulled. It could have been legitimate if it came after DORA. If it came before DORA, it is no Bill and it is no law. Therefore, they are operating on a vote on account. When DORA has been passed, we can then move to a fresh Appropriations Bill. Yesterday, this House took a very extraordinary nationalist position under your guidance to pass the Division of Revenue Bill, even when some Members had very hard positions. It took many ... view
