• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have one more addition. In the letter, it is appropriate that we tell the National Treasury that the law contemplates that these regulations must be tabled in both Houses simultaneously. That is why they will suffer the cost of waiting because they submitted them separately and, therefore, timelines apply separately. It is amazing that the country is getting into the question of borrowing so much money, but we want to amend the regulations and not the Act. Those issues must come to the Plenary. Thirdly, is what either Sen. Wetangula or Sen. Orengo said. In ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: .: PFM Act Section 205 (6) under part 8 of miscellaneous provisions. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have never made this request before, but in view of the sentiments made by Sen. Kajwang’, Sen. Omogeni, Sen. Wetangula and others, once that letter is issued, it should be circulated to all of us. I have never made this request before, but it is a matter of public interest. That way, it answers the question by Sen. Kajwang’ that Parliament has not made a decision yet. That letter should be circulated to us. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: .: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Motion to approve these reports. From the outset, this House has the privilege of having Sen. Mwangi and Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko who used to sit in the Public Investments Committee (PIC). I had the privilege of appearing there as an intern and I saw real grilling of a Government in terms of public accounts. Recently Sen. M. Kajwang’ and his Committee visited my county to audit the County Government of Makueni. I saw terror in the eyes of that government. I also saw a weapon in the Senate of ensuring that we ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: the little that Sen. M. Kajwang’ and his team did in Makueni, I can say on the Floor of this Senate that the unqualified opinion that Makueni County got was not a correct one. This is because certain fundamental questions could not be answered in the meeting. If those questions could not be answered at the beginning of the meeting, it then begs the question of how the Auditor-General gave Makueni County an unqualified opinion. It led to this important aspect because we are not all auditors and we will not go to school, now that we are Senators, to ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: When the Speaker asked me a question, I told him to let the Governor of Makueni County complain but we shall never prescribe rules for whistleblowers. Let them get foolscaps and write down. They do not even have to print and bring to the Senate issues about corruption happening in the counties because there are other ways of exposing corruption. We have the Auditor-General and also the CoB. However, both the Auditor- General and the CoB can miss something. The experience in Makueni County showed that the Auditor-General missed a lot of things. He missed, did not want to see ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: own independent verification of information and projects. This will help us do two things; that is financial audit and performance. This is because these county executives have become very clever, but not too clever. They have become clever with the paper work. They do it overnight, forge documents and create a beautiful rosy picture of mega grand projects that only exist in the figment of their imagination. Justice Kwach used to call it a Frankenstein of your imagination in reference to the Goldenberg scam. Once we get the public to give you information, we must get an auditor ourselves to ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would have preferred if Sen. Omanga would have said that the reports that they have ably done are not here for us to read, because we are struggling to write notes. We are not supposed to write notes. The last statement was Kshs9.7 million lost in Nandi County. view
