• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I join my colleagues in supporting this Statement. Article 230(5)(d) of the Constitution is clear on the benchmark of SRC in the performance of its function. It states: - ‘‘In performing its functions, the Commission shall take the following principles into account- (d) transparency and fairness.” SRC has been conducting this process and gazetting changes when Parliament is not in session. This Gazette Notice was released a week before the General Election and they did the same thing in 2017. This is unfair. There is no transparency because Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and the county assemblies were ... view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on a human resource audit process by the Vihiga County Public Service Board (CPSB). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Give reasons for the inordinate delay in finalizing an audit process on salaries for all employees on both manual and Integrated Payroll and Personnel Database (IPPD) payrolls, particularly for the Month of September, 2021, which gave the expenditure as Kshs213,133,757, while an analysis of employees at the work station established the actual total expenditure to ... view

• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: (4) Determine the number of Human Resource (HR) audits undertaken so far in Vihiga County Government, their outcomes and specific actions. (5) Cause the Vihiga County Public Service Board to appear before the committee to shed light on the matters raised herein.

• 26 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on my own behalf and of the people of Vihiga whom I represent I congratulate Sen. Murkomen for his appointment as a CS. I had been observing Sen. Murkomen when I was in the National Assembly and I liked his contributions on the Floor. When he was being vetted, he was among the two CS nominees who impressed me, the other being hon. Moses Kuria. They seemed to have an adequate understanding of the respective roles they were going to perform. Most importantly, Sen. Murkomen has been part of the process of nurturing devolution in this ... view

• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not want to contribute to this Statement. I am waiting to make my Statement. However, I support Sen. Cherarkey and the other speakers on appreciating the effort of this boxer in promoting boxing in the country. view
• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Statement by my neighbour and colleague, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda is very timely. The people of Vihiga County have been yearning to have the boundary problem at Maseno resolved. We need to resolve this matter with less emotions because the people of that area have intermarried. Some have even bought land across the border. I support the Senators who are saying that we need to take leadership and ensure we implement Article 188 of the Constitution. It says that we need to set up an independent commission which will guide this process. How I wish ... view
• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: On point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened to me carefully, I did not say that the only reason why we are not resolving this matter in time, is intermarriage. I said the people of Vihiga County would want this matter resolved peacefully and within the law. I proceeded to day that the first step of doing so is to implement Article 188 of the Constitution. view
