• 16 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the Communication. All the recommendations we made last year never found their way into the final document. We ask you to use your good office to ensure that our recommendations are not ignored. Whereas we complain about domestic and foreign borrowing, the fact of the matter is that once the document left the Senate and went to the National Assembly, the National Assembly increased the limit both in domestic and foreign borrowing and many other issues that affect counties. From the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, we are concerned as to whether people ... view

• 16 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, somebody said that common sense is supposed to be common, but it is not. It is very unusual that somebody would say the Physical Planning Bill of this country does not involve counties. Like Saul in the Bible changed his mind at some point on his way to Damascus; there are two things I want to say. I have been on record in this House, saying that there is a ruling in your favour by the Supreme Court which suggested that you should appoint a committee of three persons from the Senate and then ask your colleague ... view

• 16 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we did something very unusual last year. Last year, there was a Gazette Notice on 17 water bodies. In the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, we had requested the national Government to provide a transition, so that the national Government entities that provide water, which is a devolved function, could become county government authorities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have looked through the amendments and I want to agree with my Leader about this, that I have not seen a schedule of how that can happen in this Bill. I agree and propose, in addition to what ... view

• 16 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I am extremely concerned about the amendment proposed in item 21(d); “Attach a clearance letter from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).” The EACC does not have a mandate to give clearance on anything to any person. We are, in fact, giving them a mandate to do something that does not exist in law. If you are looking for a criminal record, it would be at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) offices. The sort of letter that is being proposed here has been issued to, for example, the former Cabinet Secretary, Ms. Anne Waiguru. That is ... view
