• 23 May 2019 in Senate: The case is that we are put here for a purpose, and the purpose it to make sure that the county governments work. I know that our core responsibility is to make sure that we support the counties by ensuring that there is enough money going to the county governments. However, how much money will we allocate to the county governments, yet we can see very well what is happening down there? Right now there are so many governors who will not return to office come 2022 because they are doing their second term. There are a lot of pending ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. TemporarySpeaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that Kenyans have never resolved to do justice to Kenya and its people at the grassroots, who suffer at the expense of a few people who are benefitting. How can a child of a governor, who is a university student, have a bank account with over Kshs100 million? How did it happen? How did it get there? How did that money move? Was it given to some contractors? It is very difficult to understand how it happened, how it slips and nobody sees it. It is not only in Kiambu County, but all ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you go to our counties, you do not see value for money. You cannot go to any county and say: “At least in this one you see what has been done.” If you see, they are very few. Even in counties where people say, “Oh, this county is working very well,” you will find only one item, like in Makueni. I do not know what is going on there, but there is a lot of praise there. However, when you speak to people from Makueni, they also have the same reservations that we have in ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the reports of the Auditor-General can be anything to go by, in my view, he does some very good work. However, he is addressing history, dealing with things that occurred two or three years ago. That may not take us anywhere. As much as we want to fund our counties and support county governments, and it is important that we do so, I do not think that we should be the same people who would want to kill devolution. Devolution is the best thing that has happened to Kenya and its citizens. However, it is ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: projects are put in the budget because they know about them. How would somebody steal Kshs200 million or Kshs2 billion from a project if it was not initially intended and put in the budget for that same purpose? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I serve in this Committee. If you look at the Report, there is nothing to celebrate or take home and tell people that we are headed in the right direction. We are headed in the wrong direction, judging by the way we are handling our affairs in this country. It is like we do not belong here. We ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: we are doing, the way we are running our country and the way we use the resources that belong to each and every person in this country. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Zani, you have the Floor. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Sen. Shiyonga. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Hon. Senators, taking into consideration the fact that this Statement is weighty and also the fact that it is coming at a time when the Government is spending a lot of time on Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET), technical colleges and polytechnics, I would like to refer this Statement to the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialisation, for further deliberations and for a report to this House. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Sen. Shiyonga, how many days do you think we should give this Statement? view
