• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: reached the police station, we were told; “these are not our officers. We do not have any such officers”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, police uniform like Army uniform should not be easy to imitate. It is dangerous if what Sen. Cherargei is saying is true, that police officers are being told to go to tailors, fit and make their own uniforms. We have known police officers being given uniform that is made centrally with particular features that are difficult to imitate, so that they are easily identifiable. Not to be identified for people to run away from them, but identified for ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two Statements following each other on the Order Paper, Nos. (xi) and (xii). I want to drop the one on (xi), because it was covered in the Statement that I sought yesterday. Allow me to seek the one in (xii). view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, concerning the state and operations of Nzoia Sugar Company. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain the reasons for the dissolution for the Board of Directors of Nzoia Sugar Company on 3rd August 2020. (2) Explain the reasons for the delay in the constitution of the Board and when a new one will be constituted. (3) Explain measures put in place, if any, to ensure smooth operations of the company, especially on matters regarding the ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to second this Report and the Motion. Those who were here in the last Parliament like Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. Orengo, Sen. Dullo, Sen. Murkomen and Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki spent a lot of man hours trying to unravel the MES Project. The matter came to the House many times, and serious questions were asked, including given the fact that this is a fixed term contract, for seven years, how do the allocations of money keep shifting from Kshs95 million per county per year to Kshs200 million per county per year and ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: remember the movie by Clint Eastwood - we literally encountered the good, the bad and the ugly. We had witnesses who were excessively arrogant, rude and did not even care that this House can investigate them. However, we came up with a report that I would like to urge every Member to read, understand and appreciate. This is because as leaders of your delegations, Senators must appreciate that counties are being taxed at source. A small county like Lamu is paying the same amount of money as a big county like Nairobi; Kshs200 million per county per year. Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: three days. In three days, how could they have gone to the terrain of Elgeyo-Marakwet, Turkana, Bungoma and Lamu and found out what these hospitals have, and whether they can take this equipment? In a record three days, their report was ready. It is obvious that they did not carry out any needs assessment. That is why you find that in Garba Tula, in Isiolo County, the equipment is still in cartons for three years. It has never been opened because there is no capacity to use them. In Endebess, in Trans Nzoia, it is the same thing. In Malindi, ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, if the Senator for Narok had even let me finish the sentence, he would have understood me. They were procured by the Ministry without the authority of the Attorney-General. Eventually, the Ministry kept on writing letters to the Attorney-General until he said they can act. However, the Auditor-General has even questioned and given an opinion that is not controverted, an adverse opinion, that their procurement was irregular and single-sourcing. With these lawyers on record, the documents for procurement read in part: - “The Ministry of Health now invites field tenders from original equipment manufacturers who can also ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: value. They are not original equipment manufacturers. They were unable to satisfy the Committee in any way or at all as to how they won the contract. They appeared before the Committee. They said, we have a power of attorney, we can bring it in five minutes. They were accompanied by some local lawyers. After 10 minutes, the lawyer vanished. They came again, appeared several times and eventually wrote some scandalous letters saying the Committee had made it impossible for them testify, yet as a comparison, Philips Eindhoven based in the Netherlands are original equipment manufacturers of the equipment the ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: If you give me an extra 10 minutes, I will be very happy. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister for Health appeared before the committee and said very outrageous things. One, this company was given a contract that was different from other contracts. We checked all the contracts and found that they were identical. This company was seeking a letter for support from the Government that was not part of the contract. Each company was given a letter of support. As a result, the MES project where it’s working and we want to salute the management of health services in Mombasa, I do not know if the Senator for Mombasa is here, ... view
