• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity. I stand to support the Members who have been selected to these three very crucial committees. view

• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: I will start with the Committee on Delegated Legislation, which is very important. I was a Member of this House at a time when there was no such committee. It was a very sad situation. I recall when the loss on the Procurement Act was passed and the old Procurement Act was very loose, the officers used to like it so much. When the Act was passed and there was no Committee on Delegated Legislation, it took more than one year to enable regulations to be developed by the Executive. Whenever we asked the Minister why the procurement laws are ... view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I urge our Members who have been selected to this committee to work very hard to ensure that devolution works.

It is not to serve the public or the interest of our counties, but because all those ‘fat’ boys will come around looking for our Senators to see they can compromise them, so that the truth does not come out. There are cases that come from the Auditor-General’s report. Some queries are caused ... view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Yes, thank you. view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank my brother for the information. I was talking of my previous experience in the National Assembly, which has now been overtaken by events. I hope those officers who sit with us in our committees are not compromised by tycoons. The tycoons normally identify the person who is most dangerous and then they follow and compromise them. It is upon Parliamentarians to make sure that these people do not reach and weaken us. We are responsible for making sure that devolution works; that funds, which are allocated to our poor people, do not end ... view
