• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: When the Auditor-General was reporting to the Senate, he reports together with all the revenue that is collected at the county level, but we were barred by a court ruling that we could not look at the funds that have been allocated to our counties. This is knowing very well the problems that we have, even today, of accountability at the county governments’ level. I believe that following these amendments, now we can freely and lawfully make sure that we look at what is happening at the county governments’ level and, indeed, the funds that are collected locally within our ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 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
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: It then follows in this amendment that Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) have been renamed to Cabinet Ministers. In my view, it is okay. However, we must entrench this thinking in Kenyans that it is not the type and title of the name you carry that can make you deliver. Being called a minister or secretary or whatever, does not lessen or diminish that kind of work you do. It is the requirement of your office that you need to deliver. It is all right that we will now call them Cabinet Ministers. In my view, I believe it was just a ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Speaker, I had expressed my own views then whether it was possible for those justices to come up with a ruling within 14 days. Yes, they did and it was well reasoned. Now that we have at least 30 days when a ruling can be reasoned and passed, then we are better off. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to raise my point of order when Sen. Wetangula was on the Floor and then he was followed by the Senate Minority Leader. I raise that point of order because I virtually agree with what Sen. Sakaja has said. My point of order is derived from that Article of Constitution. The point Sen. Sakaja is making is simple. It is provided as to how it would arise that the creation of a constituency would occur. That is in the quest and exercise of the responsibility of the IEBC to ensure that there is compliance with ... view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is simple. Sen. Sakaja is right to the extent that Sen. Wetangula and the Senate Minority Leader, with due respect, are wrong. The creation of that constituency will have to be within the area that is non- compliant. So, you cannot create a constituency in Nairobi and transfer it to Bungoma. It has to be within the place where it is created. Thus, when it is complied with, in the Second Schedule, those constituencies are within the areas that are non-complaint with the population quota. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Speaker, that was my view. As I continue, on the question of the creation of the Office of the Prime Minister, I believe it is in order to rename the office of the Majority Leader in the House to have the title of Prime Minister. Lest my time runs out, I want to go to one of the issues I believe is of a lot of importance to me, which I felt and would hold the liberty to disagree with the Committee. It is on the question of if it is constitutional or unconstitutional, for the promoters of the ... view
