• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to enjoin my son, Sen. Malalah from Kakamega County, for that very strong Statement. I have been requested by my colleagues from Busia and Vihiga counties to join in this Statement because of the surge of COVID-19 cases in the western frontier. Kakamega County is under the weight of COVID-19 pandemic and so are Bungoma, Busia, Trans Nzoia, and Vihiga and many other counties in the country. There is a limit to negligence. Some of these escalating cases are out of sheer negligence. Some of our governors are busy parading themselves on ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: populated areas like Ruiru, where the Temporary Speaker, Sen. Mwaura comes from is. What about areas such as Kawangware, Mathare and Kibra? If those areas get a mass infection, you can imagine the disaster we are staring at, yet people with responsibilities are simply pilfering away public resources without accountability. We must hold everybody to account. We do not want the excuses of crying every day. view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: The President directed that he wanted to see every county with a minimum of 300 ICU beds. However, many counties are lying publicly that they have about 30 or 40 ICU beds. My own county of Bungoma has about seven ICU beds. Some counties do not have even a single ICU bed. It is a big shame. This House has a duty to protect counties and their governments as well as allocate resources to go to counties. Many of us remember the protracted process that we had in this House just to get a right formula, yet people are playing ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: The Infotrak Research and Consulting Limited and other such companies must be warned against listing the best and worst performing governors. Gov. Oparanya was listed as the best performing governor, but the situation in Kakamega County is very different if we go by what Sen. Malalah has just told us. We do not want to hear the fictitious stories. When you do right, it will show. Jesus said that when you light a candle and put it on top of a stool, you do not have to tell people that there is a candle on a stool. Everybody will see ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: My governor went to Kakamega County and filmed somebody’s dairy farm. He then came back to Bungoma County and claimed that is what he has done for dairy farmers. Is there any greater fraud than that? The Kshs18 million that would have saved COVID-19 patients was lost to a misadventure of that nature. This country needs a reawakening. Our President must crack the whip. The agencies of governance such as the DCI, EACC, Auditor-General, Parliament and county assemblies must wake up and live to their billing of enforcing accountability. view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Right from the first Senate, this House and particularly the Senators who are in this House in the last Senate persistently and consistently reminded the National Assembly that Article 110(3) was not an option to observe. I salute my distinguished learned colleagues who spared their time to go to court and fight pro bono . I want to assure the House that should there be an appeal preferred by the National Assembly, yours truly here will join the team equally pro bono. This ruling tells Kenyans that the Constitution is a living document. That the ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: to Bills that have been declared a nullity. You know impunity in this country, Sen. Orengo, sometimes takes very dangerous routes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must caution ourselves constantly that anybody who will say let us have a retrospective concurrence will never go that route. Those Bills, however well meaning, must go through the mill again. That is publication, First Reading, Second Reading and Third Reading with a prerequisite concurrence from both Speakers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, so that I leave time for other Members to speak, this House is still under threat. It is still in a cage. The best ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker can you disband this Kamukunji so that we can listen? view
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement by Sen. Faki, the distinguished Senator for Mombasa about Dongo Kundu Road is important and rings across the country. Key roads are rendering the movement of goods and services very difficult. In the case of Dongo Kundu, the Senator is right that a new road cannot start piling away and having soil scrambling if a proper design and investigation before the job was started was done. view
