• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even if the Kshs316 billion was divided, it is still not enough to take care of the needs of the Kenyans in all 47 counties. As I support this amendment, my appeal is that in accepting and introducing this amendment, as a House, we are, first of all, able to find a way forward together. Secondly, to ensure that we fight the battles of tomorrow, we all recognize that if the amount given to the counties is what the Senate had unanimously decided, we would not be where we are. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: This Senate had firmly asked for Kshs350 billion. If we had gotten the Kshs350 billion from the national Government, today everybody would be smiling. Nevertheless, even that Kshs350 billion would not have been enough. I know that my two minutes are over. Allow me to conclude by saying that we have been through what we have, because Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and others have spoken here strongly and sentimentally because they feel like their counties are losing. If we can forge a way forward together, first, acknowledging that there has been a middle ground that has been built in those ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: right. This includes the Equalization Fund or any other amount that will be available. Let us ensure that we are together, and we will be able to move our counties together. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for Nairobi City County in order to offer the misleading explanation he is giving about the one man, one vote, one shilling concept? That concept has been advanced by the people of Mt. Kenya. He has mentioned Kiambu County which I represent. It is a progressive agenda that we have picked as the starting point. We have been very loud and clear. Today, even if this formula was to pass the way it is, Kiambu County would get the allocation it was going to get and being called a gainer, each person ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Statement by the Senator for Mombasa. I happen to be the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transportation. I confirm that this matter came up before our Committee. There was a lengthy and extended discussion on this matter in which we invited all the Senators who represent the coastal region. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: As confirmed in the Statement, Sen. Madzayo, Sen. Mwaruma, Sen. Faki and other Members of the National Assembly who represent various sub-counties in that region attended that meeting. I also inform to the House that it was not the only meeting that we held over this matter with the CS, Ministry of Transport Infrastructure Housing, Urban Development and Public Works. It was the fourth meeting on this matter. It should be on record that the Committee took a firm stand on what had been purported to be introduced into the transportation management and charging of cargo including the release of ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to inform the Senator for Bungoma that I was not, in any way, trying to address the issues of content of the Statement that has been brought before this House now. I was building the background as clearly explained by the Senator who brought this Statement. Sen. Wetangula arrived later and was not privy to the content of the current Statement which is not about the earlier directive. With the questions raised by the Senator for Mombasa, the CS has found a new way to reintroduce the same by tweaking that gazette notice to ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was addressing the matter by the Senator of Nandi County. I will leave it as you advice, but we had dealt with it, Sen. Wetangula. However, I will leave it and wait for the next Order. Madam Temporary Speaker, so directed. I will follow up with my Committee on the matter. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I acknowledge and hear my colleagues. I want to specifically thank Sen. Wetangula for that Statement. Sen. Wetangula has been very consistent on this matter. Indeed, the first time when we visited Malaba, he sacrificed his entire day. We were with him from very early afternoon when we arrived until very late in the evening. I think we parted when it was raining in the night for him to go home and for us to come back to Nairobi. For the information of the House, one of the most shameful things is that the first ... view
