• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, corruption has been there for a long time. Even in the Bible, Judas Iscariot was corrupted to betray Jesus. It is that old. What we need to do is make it painful and accountable. People must be held to account when they are caught. Even in the Bile, when Judas Iscariot received a bribe to betray Jesus, the punishment was that he hanged himself. God punished him even before Jesus was crucified. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: We need to have a situation where people who gain from the proceeds of corruption are dealt with ruthlessly. I agree with Sen. Poghisio, that it is not a shortage of laws or institutions in this country. We have institutions of governance everywhere. We have county assemblies that oversight primarily at the county level. We have Parliament, the Auditor-General, the DCI, the EACC, the Office of the Attorney-General, the Judiciary, the Ombudsman and everybody, who is supposed to be looking at these issues and protecting public property. Even so, as the good old legal maxim goes who will watch the ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: From Eldoret to Bungoma, a distance of 87 kilometres, I counted more than 14 roadblocks. At every roadblock, there are about six policemen, all looking hungry and molesting travelers. Everybody is stopped. They will ask why you are speeding when they do not even have a speed gun to determine that you are speeding. All those are ploys to take money from travelers. At that time, I even called the then Inspector General (IG), Mr. Boinett, and asked him what was happening. There is a roadblock as you enter Turbo and another one when you leave. When you leave Eldoret, ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: I remember during the Government of Mzee Kibaki, President Kagame came to Kenya and we attended a meeting with the Senate Minority Leader here. President Kagame told us that the most painful thing for Rwandese business people is doing business with Kenya. From Mombasa to Malaba, they encounter over 160 police roadblocks. He was telling our President that and Sen. Orengo was with me there. Sen. Orengo, I do not know if you remember. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: President Kagame said that his importers through Mombasa told him that they have to leave money at all 164 roadblocks from Mombasa to the exit at Malaba. Whether your truck has a fault or not, or whether you have overloaded or not, it does not matter because it is routine. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: When we were vetting the current IG, I asked what he is going to do to stop that and he said that he comes in as a reformist. We want to see that. Everybody comes in as a reformist and then it becomes business as usual. We need to change our psyche. I have said that and I want to repeat for the umpteenth time. Every time we elect 47 governors as ordinary Kenyans, but at the end of five years, the number of billionaires in Kenya, add by 47. It is because they do not work, but steal from ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Sen. Farhiya, I do not know if we have that clause in the Bill. When you take public office, you must state clearly what you have and every year you must be audited publicly to see what you have added. That includes your family. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Now they have become very sophisticated because their accounts have no money. Money is put in the accounts of their children, wives and cronies and all manner of people. They are doing everything that is against the law. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: We impeached a governor here whose daughter had millions of shillings in her account. We impeached a governor here where there was an allegation that his wife had an IFMIS password for his county. These kind of things are revolting to everybody. We need to have a situation where we check our country properly. view
