• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Allegation number three is on stalled projects. The Committee finds that the allegation was not proved and was, therefore, not substantiated. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am properly guided. The Committee worked under interesting times where the governor tried to injunct the Senate not to discuss this matter. The county assembly also appeared through their advocate, but there was no evidence to the allegations as it is required. I thank you for giving me a little opening to state what I have and also allow Members of the Committee to say a few things. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need to add my voice to the request. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. My Committee is seized of this matter. Today, together with my Vice Chairperson, we had a meeting with the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation on the backlog of issues which have emanated from this House and have not been resolved. Apart from the issue of maize, there is also the issue of the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), where farmers have not been paid to date. It has been agreed that that the CS will be invited. We will let all Members know the day when the he will come to the Committee so that we ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to start by thanking the House for seeing it fit to nominate me to this Committee, and the Committee Members for electing me as the Chairperson. The discussion this afternoon is very useful for the Committee. In fact, it was very important that you made that Communication from the Chair because the House has ventilated on most of the issues that would have banned the Committee from proceeding on its mandate. This afternoon, the Members have discussed and addressed most of the issues that would have made the work of even our ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: The Standing Orders of this House specify very clearly what should happen when a Motion of impeachment has been passed by the county assemblies. The Speaker of the County Assembly has communicated to the Speaker of the Senate and nothing can stop the Motion at this point. The Committee is ready to start its work. In fact, it had already had its first meeting and scheduled its timetable. Members of the Committee have decided to forego the holidays ahead of us so that we adhere to the Standing Orders of this House and report back after about seven or 10 ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I meant to say that governors should know that the least expensive place to go for justice is the Senate. The fact that there is a Motion of Impeachment and that the report has been brought to the Senate does not mean that our business is to throw out the governor. Our intention is to listen to both sides. That is why we were elected and that is why we are here. We should gather evidence and then pronounce ourselves. If a governor is innocent, then he is. I have been told that for 80 per ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: legal colleagues and other Members. The way to go is to move expeditiously to get this matter out of the way. We hope to come up with a report within the time limit that we have been given as a committee. I thank you. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. The matter at hand is very serious. I want to talk about Embu County where I come from. There is a major problem of liquidity. Kenyans have no money. One of the reasons for this problem wherever we come from is that contractors and suppliers are never paid on time and sometimes they are not even paid at all. As I am talking, we have very many contractors in this Republic who are suffering because auctioneers have landed on them. They are unable to pay bank loans. They are unable to ... view
