• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened very carefully to Sen. Irungu Kang’ata. His Statement is not a personal statement. It is a general statement of matters of topical concern under Standing Order No.47(1). If it was his personal statement, then we would understand he is making a personal view. I am concerned about our Standing Orders, whether in allowing Sen. Kang’ata to issue a blanket condemnation to courts; we would not be interfering with Standing Order No.96. This is because any decision made by the court is not final. Any party who is aggrieved has ... view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. I wish I had read this Motion before. We have had a problem which I would like to bring it to the attention of the Mover. While this is a devolved function, national Government has not funded it either through conditional grants or shareable revenue. To the extent this function has not been funded, the little the counties are doing, we have not managed as Senate, to interrogate and audit up to what extent the budgets of counties are incorporating this part of Schedule Four into their budgets and implementation. In ... view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, yes. That is what I am saying. The Motion has proposed every location in a county. If it was Makueni, you would have 3,117 locations which would be much more difficult than setting up 1,450. We have over 3,000 villages and locations. Locations are less. That would form a good basis for us to set up these polytechnics and make it a must. We have asked the National Treasury to give us money to build county headquarters and county houses--- view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: There is no reason why a Motion like this cannot get the sort of support that we gave Sen. (Eng.) Karue, former Senator for Nyandarua, to create five headquarters where each got Kshs465 million. It is possible. If we cost how much it would take for us to have 1450 youth polytechnics through the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), we can make sure that have a budget to do this in the negotiations that will start in December. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also thank Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for the wonderful hospitality in the “County of Champions”. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will keep it short. Thank you for your Communication. I often quote the Bible. Even in this occasion, I will, where it says: “Where two are gathered in his name, He shall be there”. We are gathered here. Two or three are gathered. I have seen some comments about our visit here. For those who are in doubt, we had a very successful meeting this morning with the Committee on Finance and the executives of Uasin Gishu and the County Assembly in a make shift tent. We also had a very successful visit to the MTRH. ... view

• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: .: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would hate for the Senate Majority Leader to get into trouble with the women of this county. Where is Gladys Cherono? This Motion should be amended to include Gladys Cherono for us not to offend the women. There might be some trouble for the rest of the week. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will make it short. Your direction is important. In terms of budget implementation, we have somebody who does the budget implementation. The quarter had started. Therefore, you cannot check the implementation. We have just passed the cash disbursement schedule which will dictate whether they have implemented that budget. Although, you have put the Chairperson on the spot, the correct position is that, at the end of the quarter, you have budget implementation but what is more difficult is that, the statement is general. We are not certain, as Members of the Finance Committee, which county ... view
