• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Bw. Spika, nimemsikia ndugu yangu, Sen. Mungatana, akizungumza na nikajiuliza, yeye anaishi nchi gani? Huu Mswada haujaletwa hapa ili kumkataza mwananchi wa kawaida ama kiongozi ambaye ana pesa ya kutoa, asaidie mahali palipo na ugumu. Lengo la huu Mswada ni kuhakikisha ya kwamba wale viongozi ambao wamekuwa wakiiba rasilimali za wananchi, halafu unaenda kwa matanga ili kuonyesha watu masikini kuwa wewe unaweza kulipa shilingi 200,000 kumzika mtu aliyefariki The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: lakini wakati ulipokuwa kiongozi, haukuzungumzia vile atakavyotibiwa kwa hospitali ambazo hazina madawa. Sheria tunayotaka kubadilisha ni kutoa ufisadi tunaposaidia watu masikini kwa sababu wakati tunasaidia wao, tunajifanya kuwa tunawasaidia lakini hatusuluhishi zile shida ambazo nchi yetu iko nazo. Kwa hivyo, ndugu zangu wale mko hapa, nakubaliana na nyinyi ya kwamba mnaweza kufanya amendment kwa Mswada huu. Lakini naomba niwaambie hivi: Sisi ndio tumeharibu uongozi wa nchi yetu. Sisi ndio wafisadi wakubwa na sisi ndio wanafiki wakubwa.” Barabara zetu ni mbaya. Hospitali zetu hazina madawa. Hakuna maji katika nyumba zetu. Halafu ukisikia mtu ni mgonjwa unasema tumia huyu jamaa pesa, basi ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to welcome this delegation of young Kenyans from Kisii University in Kisii County. I want to inform them where they are seated in this building is called the Speaker’s Gallery. You can see where the Speaker sits and where all of us sit around this place. I hope that you will be watching, observing and listening to the procedures of the House. The information I have is that three of you are lawyers. Most probably, you might end up getting a job in this House as a clerk or become ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support Sen. Cherarkey as my Vice-Chairperson in the CPAC. This matter is not simplistic. We have been sitting on the CPAC; nobody should be interpreting and thinking that our agenda is to disagree or make noise at the governors with whom we disagree. That is not the issue here. There are some governors whom we have invited and they have come on time and also sent their documents on time. The Standing Orders require that some of the documents be delivered to us at least 14 days before the period that we meet the governor. view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Some of them have come with their officers and we have been satisfied with some of the good work that they are doing. In reality, our responsibility is to oversight the county governments and even the national Government. We should not allow this precedent of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate. view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: allowing governors to unilaterally come up with some flimsy excuses and justification why they cannot come. We need to interrogate their books publicly so that their voters and citizens can know whether they have been doing a good job or not. Their refusal is unconscionable and unacceptable. I would like, therefore, to thank Sen. Cherarkey for standing firm. I do not take some of these issues lightly. We know that Sen. Dullo who has been the Senator for Isiolo County, has received death threats. It is on video. view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: We have seen where many of these governors who have got impunity telling us how they feel there is nothing we can do. I will be one of the people who will support the amendments which are going to come. Let us be honest and ask ourselves what happens to a governor who deliberately decides they will not appear before the committees of this House? What happens to a governor who once has been summoned and pays a fine of Kshs500,000 ten times? What then do you do with that? How do you create deterrence? I hope that all the ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: We just want the facts and the reality to be put on the table so that the public can build confidence in our capacities as leaders and as the people who are overseeing both the national Government and the county government. view

• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to say a few things about this Bill. I am extremely excited about the Senate as a House because we are now becoming proactive. Many of us have been raising the issues and discussing why the county governments and the county assemblies look like they are all operating in a dysfunctional manner that is deliberately skewed to make sure that MCAs do not get a working environment that is comfortable for them and that will be responsive to the needs of the public. Sometimes, their salaries are delayed and ... view
