• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I concur with the Sen. Tabitha Mutinda that the Cabinet Secretary is not giving this House sufficient information regarding this question. We know that library services are devolved. Though devolved, library services are one of the functions which have not been fully transferred to the counties. The only attempt that was done was to release over Kshs400 million as conditional grants, but it is largely not transferred. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: As she rightly said, money should follow functions. So, she needs to give a comprehensive response to this question and not just for Kirinyaga, but other counties as well. We are having a scenario where for functions which are devolved, when you look at it moneywise, most of them are still being managed at the national level. Every time Cabinet Secretaries come here, they say this is a devolved function, yet the money is still held up in the Ministry. The Cabinet Secretary, whom I served with in the National Assembly, must give this House the details around provision of ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the Sugar Bill (National Assembly Bills No.34 of 2022) is an important piece of legislation, especially for Members coming from the western part of Kenya.

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, earlier on I rose on a point of order to demand that whenever the Mover moves these amendments, justification of the same is very important so that Members can follow up and so that any ambiguities can be handled.
