• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba happens to be a good friend of mine. I want to congratulate him and wish him the best. I believe he is up to the task of the responsibility that the Government has given. Cabinet Secretary, you said the number of students is 4.2 million and that there was a physical census. view
• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will ask him a question about foreign travel. You explained that the circular issued had something to do with essential travel and the number of people who are supposed to be travelling. I did not hear you mention the number. In other words, the feeling and the observation I have made is that when Government officers are travelling, even when you have reduced the number of the individuals travelling, you do not particularly discuss the number that, for example, a Principal Secretary or a director could travel. Indeed, in your office, I know you ... view
• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The matter that I would like to raise pertains to the numbers of the teachers that he has stated in terms of qualifications and their allocations. One of the most controversial issues which I bring to his attention because he has just come in, is the fact that if you look at all our 47 counties, we do not have any list or data which can explain the total number of teachers that have been employed in every county, yet one of the responsibilities of this House is to protect the counties. Would it be ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). The CBC was introduced to equip learners with practical skills for the 21st century. However, its implementation has revealed significant challenges that have exacerbated inequalities in the education system in our country. Urban schools, well-resourced compared to rural and disadvantaged ones has made it impossible to equate learning in our country. The CBC's focus on projects, hands-on learning over core subjects combined with the financial strains on the ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity, again, to continue with the debate we were having this morning. We were discussing the mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill. I had nearly finished my conversation, but there were about three points I wanted to raise. I wanted to plead with my colleagues in this House. This country is not poor. For all intents and purposes, if you look at the budget we have, it is a budget that can run itself. The total amount the county governments are getting for ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: resources which we need to help our most vulnerable people, yet we are behaving as if nothing is happening. We have the capacity, but we refuse to accept our capabilities. I hope that we will bring legislation with some of you Members who have been wonderful, so that we can close the loopholes where this money is being stolen from and through. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I listened to the presidential speech the other day. How I wish he would have said, “we have at least 20 names of individuals that have already been arrested or we are arresting because ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Bw. Spika wa Muda, huu ni wakati wangu wa kwanza kutoa maoni yangu kuhusu sheria hii ambayo tumetunga juzi kuhusu makadirio ya fedha kwenye Serikali Kuu na zile za kaunti. Nilipokuwa nikichangia kwenye Kamati ya Usuluhishi, nilikuwa mmoja wa wale wabunge wa Seneti ambao walikataa. Maoni yangu ni kuwa zile pesa ambazo kaunti zilikuwa zimepewa, zilikuwa zimetosha na hakukuwa na haja ya kuziondoa kwa sababu zile pesa ambazo Serikali Kuu inazitumia kiasi chake ni kikubwa kwani ni asilimia 85. Tafadhali hakikisha ugatue yale majukumu ambayo gatuzi zote zinapaswa kufanya na hela zao mwaka ujao. Sasa tumefanya uangalizi wetu. Tumekagua vitabu ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Tunafanya hivi kwa sababu katika gatuzi zetu ndiko umaskini mwingi uko. Watu wengi wanaishi kwa kaunti zetu. Hivyo basi, huko mashinani ndiko tunahitaji barabara nyingi, maji, ukulima na madaktari. Jambo la kwanza ambalo sisi kama Seneti tunapaswa kufanya ni kuhakikisha tumemuuliza Rais kwa heshima ahakikishe kuwa amegatua fedha na yale majukumu ambayo yamegawiwa kaunti. Pili, magavana wamekuwa wakisema kila wakati kuwa hawajapata pesa kutoka kwa Serikali na pia mishahara haijawafikia. Lakini, tungependa kuwaambia ndugu zetu magavana kuwa Wakenya sio wajinga sasa. Wakenya wanajua ni wakati gani Serikali inatoa pesa na wakati ambao fedha hizi hufika kwa gatuzi zetu mashinani. Magavana ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: katika Kaunti yangu ya Kisii, kuna shillingi bilioni tisa na laki tatu. Lakini, Gavana wangu amekuwa akiambia watu hakuna pesa. Waliokuwa wakandarasi hawajalipwa, wafanyikazi wa kaunti wanafutwa kazi na wengine kuajiriwa. Hakuna mambo yanaendelea. Hakuna barabara na mvua kwa sasa imenyesha. Ukiangalia zile shida ziko kwa kaunti zote kama vile Sen. Cherarkey alikuwa anasema, kwa heshima utamwambia Gavana wako ya kwamba pesa mimi ndimi nimeuliza, nikazichunga, zikaja na sasa ziko kwa account . Tafadhali, tumia hizi pesa usaidie watu wetu. Ukifanya hivyo, anakutafutia goons . Wanakuja na panga na wengine na bunduki. Ooh, huyo Seneta anataka kutunyang’anya ugavana wetu, ooh, ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: zingine bilioni kumi na sita ama kumi na mbili ndizo hubaki za kuwafanyia wananchi kazi. Hamna madawa hospitalini, miradi iliyokuwa inaendelea ya maji haifanyiki, pesa zote zinazotoka kwa donors zimesimamishwa katika Kaunti ya Kisii, kwa sababu vigezo vyote ambavyo vimekwa na wafadhili vimekiukwa. Gavana alipoingia huko alitoa wale waliokuwa wakitia signature na kuweka watu wake. Hakujua sheria inasema hawezi kufanya hivyo. Ukiuliza walimu wa shule za chekechea, hawajalipwa mishahara. Wengine mishahara yao ni minimum wage . Utamuajiri aje mtu afunze mtoto wako kutoka darasa la kwanza hadi la tatu au la nne, ilhali unamlipa shilingi elfu saba? Huyu ni mtu ... view
