• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to ask this Question on behalf of the former councillors who cut across the Republic of Kenya. I thank my former colleague at the National Assembly for finding time to come to respond to the questions from Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning the following Question No.015. (a) What are the reasons for the inordinate delay in the implementation of the resolution of the Senate of 18th October, 2018 and the subsequent recommendations of the Inter-Agency Task Force on payment of ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a matter of national interest. If you could indulge us maybe you could give us a bit of time to ventilate on it. The matter was canvassed during the last Senate. I am happy that the Member who raised is in this Fourth Senate is here. Hon. Senate Minority Leader, I wish he catches the Speaker’s ear because for sure this is a matter of national interest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we wish you could indulge us, especially when asking supplementary questions because our former colleagues, the councillors, gave a huge input to this ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: It is the first time we are hearing that there was another legal opinion, which was sought with the Attorney-General. He gave an opinion that there was no legal basis for payment of this honorarium or the pensions to these councillors. That was in 2023. Therefore, from the time this matter was canvassed up to the 2023 – the legal issue that the Attorney-General raised - we do not know what happened and who is this trying to frustrate the councillors. If there is no legal basis, the Attorney-General should work tirelessly to ensure that we have a legal framework ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have fully stated my stand that it is the first time this matter of legal opinion is being raised here. Even the chairperson of former councillors is not aware of the legal opinion given by the Attorney-General. I do not know who sneaks these opinions so that these people do not get their money. It is a very little money, less than even Kshs200 million. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: This country is shaming itself. These are former leaders who really need support; they do not have even money to pay for SHA. I met some of them in Meru and they are very old wazees . They do not even have Kshs300 to pay for SHA. There is a group somewhere, which is frustrating them so that they cannot pay Kshs200,000 per councillor, for those who served for less than three terms. My question is to refer back the treasury. We do not need that legal opinion; it can be quashed by this House, so that these wazees can ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: The Cabinet Secretary to set aside that legal opinion and pay the councillors without further delay. view
