• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving the opportunity to give my contribution to Sen. Mwaruma’s Statement. Although students from Alliance Boys High School have left, I also welcome them in absentia. I am an alumnus of the school and it is a good school. I am happy that they have also come here to learn what we do. It was a great school but I do not want to speak much about it because they are absent. It taught us many things and discipline and it has produced technocrats and leaders in this country. What Sen. Mwaruma has ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the need which is provided in our Constitution; that we must make provision for students, pupils and all other persons who require special attention. This must be done to those in schools and training institutions, so that in their adult life, they do not have to wholly depend on others. I support this Statement because it is a good one. Action should be taken pursuant to it. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. My county is one of the counties whose records were burnt sometime in 2017. I remember my governor appearing before the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) and he was asked to avail the documents. We know that fires do occur and in law, it is expected that a fire may burn anything. However, the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act is very specific that county financial records must be backed up. In fact, it is an offence not to back them up. It is expected that somebody might even bomb the county offices, but ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: them up, they should be put where they belong; where people who try to erase records or prevent investigations from going on are put. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Calendar as it is. If you talk to Members informally outside the Chamber, you will realise that they have always suggested a different way of approaching House Business. Most of them feel that insufficient time is dedicated to look into matters of oversight, particularly 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
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: reports of County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC) and others, which should bring into focus what we do, as a Senate. I propose that those responsible for such programmes listen to the feelings of Members. We want to debate issues that relate to misuse of public resources in our counties. We also want to hold into account those we are supposed to oversight under Article 96 of the Constitution. So, in future, when this kind of programme is done, I hope that, that matter will be factored. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to speak to this Motion for Adjournment. From the outset, I would like to state that the public in Nairobi City County require services. The decision to hand over functions of the County Government of Nairobi is a popular and politically convenient decision. However, as a practising lawyer for many years, I must not just speak to the popularity of the decision. I would like to state that the process is wrong. What disappoints me is that the Senator and the Governor of Nairobi City County have surrendered ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Kiambu and other Kenyans do not want authority to be exercised by fear to dissolve functions of their counties. However, in Nairobi we have a challenge. We know that this governor should have left because there are matters that he has failed to perform. We know that if the law does not provide for a way out, convenience and politics may provide for it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude because I do not want to speak much, I want to say that we should support this process, but let us leave it as a precedent set for Nairobi. ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to associate myself with this Petition. It is a good Petition. The Government has a duty to protect forests. The same Government has a duty to feed, shelter and treat people with dignity. In fact, governments cannot exist if there are no people; and people cannot be there if there are no forests. What is emerging is that they are trying to create a conflict between the need to have forests, and the need to take people’s welfare seriously. The Committee to which this matter will be referred to must come up with ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice to this very good Statement and congratulate Sen. Mwaruma. Migori County is blessed with a lot of minerals. It is one of the counties that have been mentioned by my senior, Sen. Wetangula, that are suffering from the fact that we are not implementing the law. If we believe in the rule of law and we have a law that enjoins us to harness resources and ensure that these resources are returned and utilized properly, we should do so. I do not know what we should do as a Senate or ... view
