• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, Clause 16(2) provides that the mediators are also guided accordingly, so it is not just something that will be done according to the whims of the mediator. There are certain procedures or guidelines that the mediator will follow. The decisions of that dispute resolution mechanism are binding to both parties. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: I thank Sen. Kasanga and this Senate for coming up, as usual, with very good Bills that seek to make this country run better, and that are in the true interest of Kenyans. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Statement by Sen. Wetangula on the heavy deployment of police officers in examination centres. It has come at the right time. An examination, on its own, is a very intimidating and fearful process, especially to Class Eight pupils who are doing them for the first time. Therefore, the presence of heavily armed police officers might even make whatever they had been reading to evaporate from their mind, and that could affect the results. I wish that these police officers were deployed to where the teachers are; at the ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would also like to join my colleagues in welcome members of the Public Accounts and Investments Committee from Vihiga County to the Senate. I see my great friends there and party members. It is worth noting that Amani National Congress (ANC) Party is the majority party in Vihiga County Assembly. I am glad to hear that they are doing a great job in checking the County Government of Vihiga. I welcome them to this House and also join my colleagues to remind them that they are our first line of defence. We are living ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the onset, I want to say that I oppose the Regulations that seek to amend the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. First, I would like to say that I am a very happy person today for this reason; that my party, Amani National Congress (ANC) has been vindicated. For a long time, my party leader hon. Musalia Mudavadi has been talking about increasing debt and its effect to this country. The chicken have now come home to roost, and that is where my happiness lies. ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 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
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: sector. Are we going to increase debt that will limit further funding to counties? We cannot allow that to happen. If we do that as Senate, we will be going against our mandate which is to protect devolution, counties and their governments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you take too much money from shylocks, they come and auction you. I can foresee a situation whereby we will be auctioned, especially by external creditors. Auctioning the country is a sad state, the same way if you would be auctioned as an individual. We have companies like Kenya Airways which run the ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Much has been said but I would like to add my voice and support the Report. The impeachment from the County Assembly did not meet the threshold. However, it does not mean that nothing wrong was done by the governor. He is culpable of some of the nine listed charges that were substantiated. However, majority of them were not substantiated. That is why they did not meet the threshold. I wish that this Plenary was given an opportunity to question the governor especially on the unsubstantiated charges so that county assemblies can be encouraged ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: process. They should make sure that they have all the evidence they need and follow the law. It is a legal process as much as it is political. So, they should look at both sides and come with water-tight cases, so that we hold these governors accountable as we should. I also urge county assemblies to meet at the County Assemblies’ Forum (CAF) and discuss this issue in-depth. They should find out what Taita Taveta County did not do right and what the next county assembly should do if they want to go through this route. This is also a ... view
