• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: I am sorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that I am expressing some frustration. We all have faith in the CPAIC other than God. What I mean is that I feel helpless as a Senator of this Republic because we have given work to the Committee but we have to find ingenious methods to stop the corruption in the counties. It is true that Members of that committee sit on our behalf. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: Members of the CPAIC have never missed a meeting and they have never failed to summon governors. In as much as they have been having meetings, there appears to be a problem because governors continue doing what they feel and pilferage is on the rise. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: Sen. Sakaja talked about the case of confidential accounts in Nairobi City County. The Governor of Samburu County and his entire government are in court because they were charged of pilferage. The Governor bought houses like he is running out of fashion. I am just expressing frustration. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope you are holding my time. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am actually trying to find a good way of communicating my point so that we understand one another. The work of the CPAIC is firmly anchored under in Article 229 of the Constitution. At the onset of this Senate, the Committee on Finance and Budget, where I used to sit, was performing two functions. Let me bring my colleagues to speed on what exactly I am aiming at. It used to do audit and, at the same time, dealt with the quarterly reports of the Controller of Budget. I want Sen. Sakaja to listen ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: get quarterly – I have the one for the first quarter of 2018 – is two pages of a summary of how the budget implementation is being done. However, we, Senators, would be in a position to know some funds were allocation to Mbagathi Hospital by Nairobi County as Sen. Sakaja was asking, but they were unable to spend because of this and that. This is because County Executive Committee (CEC) member for finance is supposed to do so under Sections 163, 164, 165 and 166 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. In case of Tharaka Nithi County, for ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: I am afraid that 26 governors will hand over office in their second terms. Now, if the Governor of Samburu County is an example, I shudder to think what will happen when 26 new governors get into office. The Governor for Nandi, Sen. Sang, only discovered somewhere along the line that the former governor had another 26 accounts which he was not aware of. Further, he discovered that there are members of the executive who took a loan and guaranteed by a bank account of the county. These counties will steal as we sit here, as we watch, as we ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: because it will fall, we will be equally to blame as a House. We will take responsibility 100 per cent. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: What will it take for all 47 counties to replicate what Makueni and Nyandarua counties have done; unqualified reports? What will it take? What will it take for us to check the city counties such as Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru so as to know if they are correctly reporting their own source revenue? A meeting called at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) would not explain that. In the last Senate, the Governor was accused of not banking Kshs7 billion. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: The Governor of Nairobi. For the first time in the history of this country, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) surcharged the account of a county. Where did that case go to? It just went quiet because we do not have the expertise. While I support this Bill, I do at times feel that as a Senate, we are helpless. We are not going to help our counties by doing the oversight that you and I are thinking of; making noise on public platforms. Governors are laughing at us. Recently, somebody told me that governors have identified us. They know the ... view
