21 Feb 2019 in Senate:
I conclude by saying that when I rose on a point of order yesterday, the Senate Majority Leader attempted to interject and say that processes do not matter. I believe that substantive justice also includes processes that are fair and which give opportunity to those against whom punishment may be meted. It is important for us, as a House, to lead by example. It is important for us, as a House seeking justice for our farmers in their large numbers, to ensure that the culprits and the perpetrators of the economic crimes that are visiting our countries are also punished ...

I beg to support the amendments and thank the Committee for doing a commendable job. I hope that those who will be tasked with the responsibility of implementing this Report – and that is the Executive – will be able to walk the talk. It is one thing to talk about the fight against corruption, but it is another thing to implement it. I hope His Excellency the President is as serious as he speaks. I hope the people’s President is as committed as he says he is; and I believe all us are equally committed.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know why the Senate Majority Leader is trying to heckle me. I request you to rule him out of order. This is a House of procedure and proceedings. If we do whatever we do here outside the procedure, we will not do substantive justice to the people, who will likely condemn us. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the point that the Senate Majority Leader is of the opinion that we should ignore procedure and emphasise on substance, I request you to rule him out of order.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened to the Senator for Narok County and in my view, he does not have the authority to speak on behalf of the Committee. Would I, therefore, be in order to ask you to refer the matter to the Chairperson and stop the Senator for Narok County from consuming time that would otherwise be useful to other Members?

19 Feb 2019 in Senate:
Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I totally agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., that what has been going on is a manifestation of serious vested interests from many quarters with the sum total effect that the mandate of the Senate is being negatived.

19 Feb 2019 in Senate:
There are interests out there because I have heard whispers and rumours. There are interests of people who do not want a single entity to manage the retirement benefits of county workers. The interest of these people is the fees and profits that they get from managing these funds and to ensure that they continue living on the sweat of the exploited county workers.

I come from Migori County where the county workers are miserable and I believe that other counties also have workers that are miserable. If you look at the skills and competencies, you will see that they still have people with skills like those that people had during times of local authorities. The people who have been hired lately are cronies of powers that be. Lately, I noticed that enforcement officers are being hired and my county wants to hire 350 officers.

We do not have nurses or clinical officers and Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) educators or tutors in those areas. Those are critical devolved functions. We are bereft of staff but we continue hiring people like enforcement officers because in political hard times, we use them to fight our battles.
