• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: While he is considering increasing the ceiling of borrowing to Kshs12 trillion, I wonder whether he will find the time to come or he will also be busy on that day. If he does not come, I do not know how this is going to pass through the Senate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is disappointing that our members of County Assembly (MCAs) in Taita Taveta and Makueni Counties have not been paid their salaries for more than four months. It is very sad. For reasons that we do not know, these people are not being paid. To some extent ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: good thing to happen. The Controller of Budget and the Auditor-General are, therefore, put to task. I have said this in terms of our reforms to the Public Financial Management Act and we have made a note. There is a gentleman who is called Njoroge and in our old Constitution, he would be the Controller of Budget and the Auditor-General. I do not know why we should not have the same person again. We would then have the person releasing Kshs10 to Makueni County be the same person asking where that Kshs10 went to. At the moment, there is a ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: It is unfortunate that we have now discovered that money allocated to county assemblies which is sent late is misappropriated and used by the county executives without reporting. The amendment we have proposed to Section 130 provides that the monies that have not been spent but have been allocated to county assemblies for every financial year should be credited to their accounts and used for purposes of their budgets in the appropriations. Therefore, I hope at the Committee Stage, the Chairman is going to propose that amendment that will ensure these funds do not end up in the wrong account. view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Sen. Olekina asked me why we cannot have two treasuries where the amounts go directly to them. Under Chapter Twelve and in terms of amendments to the Constitution, we do not require a referendum to amend so that clerks of the county assemblies can have some element of autonomy. Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) are suffering. I have seen it in Makueni. The Governor may decide that they are not going to have allowances and says so publicly. He tells them there is no money and ask why they need allowances yet it is part of the budget. Members of ... view

• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I do not know whether Sen. Wamatangi mentioned this but as Whips, we owe to our colleagues who are in Nairobi, those who are out of the county and out of Nairobi a hand for listening to us. Nobody pushed you and all of you participated. We have a record of 65 Senators who participated in the vote. Senate Majority Leader, you should thank the Senators because we have not only surpassed the record set by the National Assembly, but we also had a better debate than them, irrespective of the disagreements on the Floor. ... view
