• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Nairobi City County and Hon. Sakaja’s revenues have been declining for the last nine months. That is not his problem. We discovered that within the structures that were set up, there were three to four companies, that were running the outfit for collecting revenue within the county government. At the same time, the same people that the previous Governors – hon. Sonko and hon. Kidero – had, are the same ones collecting the revenue. view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: We are happy that Hon. Sakaja came in and stopped what was going on. I am very proud. Last week when he met our Committee, he said that the revenue has now picked up. The City County might end up collecting close to Kshs26 billion this year alone. That is the management and leaders that we want. Our people do not want excuses of why we are at a Kshs3 trillion budget, yet we have no medicine or water in the hospital and doctors are not being paid on time. They do not want excuses of having unpaid Early Childhood ... view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Right now, Kenyans are demanding good governance and proper utilization of resources. We want to change the direction our people are taking. We want to lift our people from poverty. It has been done in other countries and we can do it in Kenya too. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. I thank you. view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I apologise. I will follow the rules of the House. view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with you. The only thing is that by March, when the money was being collected it was being collected by NMS. From the time Hon. Sakaja took over, there was a dip which worried us, as a Committee. I am willing to table the data on the next sitting of this House. view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I shall correct the Senator. The people who were handling the accounts for the on-source revenue collections were NMS. Up to now, we still do not have the pins or codes that are meant to open. That is what Governor Sakaja came to ask our Committee to do. He asked the people who had been working with NMS and are now working in State House to come and open the system to enable the Governor start collecting his revenue and putting it in a certain account. I thank you. view
• 27 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to agree with my friend and leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, for coming up with the Motion. To a larger extent, as the Senate, it is important that we understand what our oversight role is. As we plan to go for recess, I was happy to hear Sen. Cheruiyot talk about what we need to do. That is how we are going to look at what is happening in our county governments and how money for our people is being spent. Indeed, Sen. Cheruiyot, as I have been saying and I will say it here, if ... view
• 13 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the issue that my brother and leader from the other side has raised in this House. As you rationalise the amount of money the members of the judiciary are going to be given for having lost time in practicing in their offices and managing their other affairs which may not be at the High Court or the Supreme Court, the Committee should also rationalise the issue of the salaries of the doctors who do not practice in their clinics but view
• 13 Jun 2023 in Senate: 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
• 13 Jun 2023 in Senate: are working for the county governments and are all complaining, saying how they are unable to meet their every day needs. Finally, as the Committee looks at the issue of doctors and nurses, we should also look at the issue of Members of the County Assembly (MCA). I thank Sen. Cherargei for having brought that issue here. It is not well when half of the MCAs have adjourned the assembly sine die to go and just wait. The reality is, it is going to look bad on the Senate, the Government of the day and everybody, if we do not ... view
