  • 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: Unfortunately, we have situations where most if not almost all counties are net exporters of capital to Nairobi. We fight to take money to Kakamega, Isiolo, Bomet and Bungoma. Those we have entrusted with the money steal it and bring it to buy prestigious properties in Nairobi. Counties are not out there sustaining and improving the economy of Nairobi City County at the expense of the people who should benefit from devolution.

  • 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, all leaders in the country must be held to account. Public resources are just that. We warn these governors that there is no time limit on criminal responsibility. Even if they think that they are on the right side of the sitting Government and they get away today, they will be caught up with in future when they leave office. Look at what is happening to President Zuma in South Africa. I am sure when he was in office, he never believed that such things would happen to him. However, because there is no time limit on ... view

  • 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: been doing well. The gossips we hear out there from governors is that they come to CPAIC carrying briefcases. Therefore, we also compromise our responsibility as a House that must oversight the success of devolution. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also urge my Chair, as we have discussed and agreed, that we fast-track the amendment to the Public Finance Management Act, so that county assemblies get their direct disbursement from the National Assembly, so that they are not held at ransom by offensive governors. If county assemblies will discharge their responsibility as primary oversight institutions in the counties, you cannot expect ... view

Once she audits and releases her report, the Houses of Parliament must hold the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) accountable in terms of recovery of stolen resources, and punish the thieves. Madam Temporary Speaker, we live in a country where people ... view
