Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Kwanza, nasimama kuunga mkono ripoti iliyoletwa na Kamati ya Fedha na Bajeti inayoashiria kwamba tusipunguze pesa zinazoenda kwenye gatuzi zetu kutoka shilingi 400 bilioni mpaka shilingi 380 bilioni. Lazima tutofautishe kati ya pesa ambazo tunapeleka kwa gatuzi zetu za Kenya na yale ambayo yanakuja. Ndio maana tuko na kamati mbili; moja ikiwa ya County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) na ingine ya PICSF za kuangalia kwamba kila kaunti inatumia pesa zake inavyostahili. Siku ya leo, tumekuwa na ripoti nyingi. Nimekuwa na ripoti ambayo imetoka kwa Kamati ya CPAC na nikasoma kuhusu vile Kaunti ya Kirinyaga ...

Kazi kubwa ya Seneti ni kulinda ugatuzi na ndio maana tuko hapa. Kulinda ugatuzi ni kuhakikisha kwamba fedha zinazokusudiwa kwenda katika kaunti zetu zinatumwa ipasavyo. Tushavalia njuga suala hili kwa sababu tuliketi na kupitisha. Kwa hivyo, naomba pesa ziende mashinani jinsi tulivyokuwa tumesema. Bw. Spika wa Muda, napinga kupunguzwa kwa fedha ambazo zitaenda katika kaunti zetu. Naunga mkono ripoti ilioletwa hapa na Kamati ya Seneti ya Fedha na Bajeti kusema kwamba fedha zitakazoenda katika kaunti zetu zibaki shilingi bilioni 400 wala siyo shilingi bilioni 380. Pesa hizo zinapoenda kule, tunaomba magavana wawajibike. Kama kuna watu waastarabu ni Maseneta. Tunatetea na ...

Asante sana, Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi hii kuchangia jambo hili. Kwanza, ni kuwa wakati ambapo tunakutana na Mawaziri, ni muhimu kujua kuwa tuna vitanda za kulala na mahali pa kwenda. Si eti huwa tumekaa bila kazi ya kufanya. Kumbuka Jumatano zote hakuna Kamati ambayo inakaa kuangalia jambo lingine kwa sababu tumetenga wakati muhimu kujadili maneno haya.

Wakati Waziri ameitwa na kukosa kuja tunaweza kumtetea, lakini si haki kwetu. Kama Sen. Munyi Mundigi alivyosema, pesa ya Embu imechelewa kwa muda wa miezi mitatu. Tungejua leo kama Waziri anajali maslahi ya watu wa Embu sio kutetea mwenye hakuja kujibu maswali. Hii ni kusema kuwa, Waziri anaridhika na hali ilivyo katika kaunti zetu zote 47. Kwa hivyo, sisi pia tusiende chini na kukubali kuwa tutakuwa tunakaa chini kama watu hawana kazi. Tukiita Waziri na haji, tuwe na sheria ambayo itaashiria uajibikaji. Kwa muda kumekuwa na madharau kwa Bunge la Seneti kutoka kwa Bunge la Kitaifa. Huu ukosefu wa adabu ...

Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Serikali yetu ndio huwa inasajili watu na kutupatia hati ya kuzaliwa, kitambulisho, pasipoti na hata hati ya kifo wakati mtu ameaga dunia. Inakuwaje hamuwezi kuchukua takwimu ambazo ziko katika mitambo yenu siku ya leo ili kujua mtu ambaye amefikisha miaka ya kulipwa pesa zake za uzee? Je, ni lazima mrudi tena mkitumia fedha za umma kwenda kusajili watu na mko na kila kitu? Kwa sababu Serikali iko na kila kitu, ingekuwa rahisi mtu akitimiza ile miaka, mnachukua account yake na mnaanza kumtumia pesa zake moja kwa moja bila kusumbua wazee na vilema. Kwa nini kazi inafanyika ...

Asante sana Bi Spika wa Muda. Ningependa kumuuliza Waziri kama bajeti iliyoko ambayo amesema tayari kuna mgao wa kuweza kumaliza hizi barabara ziko katika ile bajeti ya Kshs17 milioni? Je, hizi barabara zimewekwa katika zile orodha ambazo zitakuwa zikilipiwa ili ziweze kuendelea? Hilo ndilo swali langu la ziada.
