• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: be included in those issues that the CS will be able to address. Yours truly will be here promptly to prosecute the question. To make the record clear, there has been no meeting between me, my colleague and the Speaker. The Speaker only directed that the answer be brought as urgently as is practically possible. As we say, if you can access Jesus, you do not need John the Baptist. If the CS is coming tomorrow, let us deal with him. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the record of this House will bear me out. When I raised the issue, more than 10 Members contributed to it, chiding the Chairman for not bringing the answer. The Speaker directed that the answer be brought as urgently as possible. Indeed, subsequent to that, the Chairman brought me what looked like an answer. I even asked him that I go through it, compare with my notes then he can try to answer the question. Since the CS is coming and the answer is drawn from the CS anyway, it is easier for us to interrogate ... view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a member of the Committee and I will convey the request to the Chairperson and hopefully bring the answer in two weeks. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have listened very keenly to what the distinguished Senator for Mombasa County has said. If it is true - and I have no doubt that it is - it is a very serious matter. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: The executive in any county is accountable to the assembly in terms of primary oversight, budgeting, approval of budgets and programmes of the county government. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: If the county executive of Mombasa is engineering an intimidation of the county assembly, first, my distinguished colleague should tell them that they are engaging in a futile exercise. This is because there is no provision in law for the county executive to dissolve the county assembly. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: Secondly, the only provision available is if matters reach a level where the President sets up a Committee, and when they dissolve the county government, both the executive and the assembly will go home. So, they are just undermining themselves. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, more importantly, I encourage Sen. Faki to arm himself with a few colleague from this House, to go and address the county assembly; encourage them to be firm and steadfast in their oversight work. More importantly, tell them that whatever they do that the county executive does not abide by, they forward to this Senate for further action. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: We support you, Sen. Faki, in defending the integrity and independence of the county assembly. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the distinguished Senator for Nandi County in order to address this House and say he wished something that is already happening to happen? In the last Parliament, this House – and you remember – fought so hard to give autonomy to county assemblies and their Exchequer comes directly from the Controller of Budget (COB). They are under no financial control whatsoever, howsoever from the county executive. Is the distinguished Senator in order to speak without pine curium ? view
