• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although the Chairperson of the Committee on Energy says that the people of Kiboko are happy, there is one component that the Committee has been afraid to handle. I say so with tremendous respect to the Chair. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: The new pipeline was supposed to have something we call a leak detection system, which was part of the contract. That issue was never addressed by the Committee because I am told that the person who was doing this contract is a known cowboy contractor. 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
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Since the Committee never handled this issue, there is now huge oil spillage in Mombasa. Fuel products are gushing out and people are collecting with oil cans et cetera . The danger that the people of Mombasa are being exposed to is because I raised this issue a year ago and they never addressed it. While the area of Kiboko was cleaned and I did not agree with the clean-up, the question of the leak detection system and the cowboy contractor, who caused a contract of US$52 million to be done without leak detection to Nairobi, must be addressed. Thank ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Kang’ata is not just the Senate Majority Whip, but also a distinguished lawyer. Madam Temporary Speaker, the question of procurement is a question of facts. Under the procurement law, where in a position that you can procure directly, or you 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
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: procure because it is an emergency, it should be supported by minutes. That is the substantiation that Sen. Kang’ata ought to table. Otherwise, he is just making a statement of fact, which is not supported. That is the sort of direction you had to give him. He might be aware of information we do not know. From the fact that he operates in places we do not operate, he sits with people we do not sit with in places where we do not go, it is possible that Sen. Kang’ata has more information than we have? Maybe, it is also ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to bring to your attention and I want Sen. Orengo to hear this, during the Goldenberg saga Mr. Kamlesh Pattni became very clever through his lawyers and used to go to court to obtain injunctions. What used to happen after those injunctions were issued, was that the court files used to disappear. Injunctions were obtained in perpetuity. It led to amendments to the civil procedure where you could only obtain an injunction for a limited period of time. In relation to your ruling, your ruling might be issued after this Motion has passed. I am ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to begin from where Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud left and state as follows: We have been here long enough and no Committee has made a finding that a project or any activity is a criminal enterprise. A criminal enterprise is perpetuated by criminals. Allow me to say that while I applaud this Committee, there are certain fundamental questions which they should have answered. These questions are as follows and I would like them to take notes: Who signed the contracts? Who negotiated the contracts? It is a person. Who was the CS at the ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Committee that has Sen. Dullo, a lawyer; Sen. Wetangula, a lawyer; Sen. (Dr.) Mbito, the Chairperson of the Committee on Health; and, Sen. Madzayo? What are you saying? Let me tell you what is worse. Ladies and gentlemen, these criminals are omnipresent, ubiquitous and operating even in our corridors out there. These criminals are everywhere. Let me tell you how a criminal enterprise operates. Like mafia, it has a judge, lawyer, parliamentarian, doctor and a priest to pray for them. It also has a don. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, either this Senate agrees to face these people head on or we abandon, coil our tails, bow down to the Speaker and take off. Imagine the former Attorney General, Prof. Githu Muigai, comes and says: “I disagreed with the procurement of these contracts, I do not know who signed. The former Solicitor General, Mr. Ken Ogeto, who was also my teacher, comes and says: “I never authorized this.” What does that tell you? It is either this Committee agrees that we go off-camera and they tell us that they were intimidated, they fear whoever they found or ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Ladies and gentlemen; Senators, please, can I have your attention? One contractor is receiving Kshs28 billion. That is the sort of money that we distributed to over ten counties as sharable revenue. That person refuses to show up, sends you written submissions and you do not say something adverse about him. Surely! Mr. Speaker, Sir, I like everything and let us give credit where it is due. This Committee has not spared any effort in identify chapter by chapter as to the mistakes that were done, step by step. They have. Even if Sen. Kang’ata stands here and says everything ... view
