• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is very important. It is almost like a class. Sen. Kinyua is a student of law and should be taking notes from what Sen. Orengo and I are saying. In addition to that, the record of Parliament must have the things Sen. Orengo is saying. In Article 257, it is not contemplated that the National Assembly and the Senate will agree. It is contemplated that they can disagree. Even in your own County of Laikipia where there was public participation, did they amend anything? Did they listen to the views? Yes, they did. Were you there? ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: anything? No. Are you going to sit here and listen and participate? Yes. This is the point. The idea of listening to the views as explained by Sen. Orengo is because you must make a decision even though it has been made somewhere else. The decision must be informed by something. view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is actually a matter of serious concern and it requires the necessary attention of the Senate. view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think I have administrative issues that must be handled. The petitioners want this matter done expeditiously. The Committee has 30 similar Petitions. Going by its work output, it is easy to think that this Petition will not be resolved within the current parliamentary calendar. It will go into 2023. I was going to say that in the Committee on Liaison, where the big men and women who are Chairs sit together with the Speaker, we must find a method. This Petition will not be determined within the proposed period, if we look at the queue. ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the question raised by Sen. Kinyua is important. Unfortunately, this House does not have an Implementation Committee. It is no that it has not been discussed. I know Sen. Khaniri raised it yesterday. However, once we make our resolutions, there is no framework to make sure that they are implemented. view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: We have dealt with many petitions. For example, Solai Dam Tragedy is one of them. We made recommendations, but they were ignored. I hope the one we discussed yesterday about the building that is being purchased by Uasin Gishu County may not ignored. However, Sen. Kinyua has been here long enough to know that we have been making recommendations to BPS, but nothing has been implemented. view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: I have said this before and the Speaker said it this afternoon that we should not start reading the Book of Mark or Luke and avoid Lamentations. view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me begin from where my good friend, Sen. Sakaja, left. A good practise in jurisdiction all over the world is to keep a permanent secretariat as opposed to Members. This is what the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons does. You will find a clerk assistant has been with the Committee for 30 years. It becomes continuous unlike our practise where our secretariat is moved here and there. I have no problem with the practice, but it does not help us. Since the audits of 2013 for purposes of my county ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: they the same people who we will rely on to check when they are collecting money from the same governors? It is a shame and I am disappointed that while we put in a lot of effort in this endeavour chances are that we will not get much from the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) in so far as audit is concern. The things that the Auditor General flags, for example, I raised this concern last week, a document has been tabled here on COVID-19 funds and the Committee on Health has not moved a notice of Motion to ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Farhiya had a proposal - and this is my last contribution - that there ought to be a method for the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya ( ICPAK ) to be outsourced at county level. A county can pick private auditors to audit its accounts or the Auditor-General is able to outsource private auditors. This is because the Auditor-General will not confess that the office has no capacity to audit the 47 counties and National Government. All of us Sen. Sakaja included are proud to have sat in the county assemblies for them ... view
