• 21 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker Sir, for this opportunity to speak for the last time. Allow me to thank my family for supporting me during the period I was here and wife Anita for understanding the times that you have kept us here until 10.30 p.m. or otherwise. I thank the people of Makueni for the confidence in electing me first time at 92 percent and second time as 98 percent. I did not deserve that kind of confidence because the history is that I was not the first choice for the Makueni people. It is only that it was a ... view

• 21 Jun 2022 in Senate: working together. I am not going to say goodbye because I am now going to now sit in another side of my devolution and defend the Senate with everything i have. This is because I have seen the struggle we have gone through. These Clerks of ours, the SAA, the people who have been working with us in the Committees have been crying with us and celebrating with us. They have been walking with us when we go Court to challenge some of the things that our sister House has been doing to us. So, I feel extremely privileged. I ... view
• 21 Jun 2022 in Senate: That is why I keep saying that we need more robust Committees that can challenge people who are using public resources. It has been a privilege to serve with these people. They have mentored us. I must have come here when I was immature. I now feel mature in this House courtesy of the people and the ones we have served with including Senator Poghisio who was once the Chairperson of the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) Party. view
• 21 Jun 2022 in Senate: I thank God for good life. In this Senate, I have had good times. In this Senate, I have suffered Covid 19 because of the work we were doing during Covid times. However, God has been gracious. I thank God for the time I have been here. I hope that we can; the ones who are leaving this House, the ones who are remaining in this House, the ones who are retiring can have a good story for devolution. We cannot afford to let the people who died while fighting for the second liberation under the new Constitution down. I ... view
• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion for the Cash Disbursement Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, this Schedule will only be available after the elections. So, this money will not be accessible to the current governors. The National Treasury will only release it after the elections. This is to ensure that the next county governments are not stuck immediately after the 9th August, 2022 election. It is contemplated under the law that services to the people of Kenya must continue even on 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th August, immediately after the elections. I beg to ... view
• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion on IFMIS. It is unfortunate we are discussing it on the last day. The report has revealed many things that are happening in the financial system. Of importance to us, is that IFMIS does not capture debt management. It is also of importance to us, that the CoB and the Auditor-General have admitted that this system needs to be checked. This system appears to be impeding the work of counties. We are glad to report that from the findings of the Committee on Finance and Budget, there is an ... view
• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: .: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion. Allow me to say the following about borrowing by county governments. One, we have learned in the last five years that relying on national Government to release funds has become a challenge. Two, the national Government is borrowing and borrowing is affecting counties. Three, county governments are unable to borrow against what would be their income; that is both Own Source Revenue and National Government Revenue. The flow is uneven and county governments within the framework of national Government guarantee and bonds under the Constitution can borrow. Lastly, ... view
