• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: – the issue of pending bills which tend to distort the budgeted proposals of counties will be looked into. It will be interesting to know, at the end of this debate, how far the issue of pending bills will be addressed and determined. This is because without making provision for the same, even this Bill itself will become an innovative one that will gather dust in the shelves without the implementation. We need to look at these elements which are so critical and important. The element that, obviously comes out which forms part of the oversight that I talked earlier ... view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: I know that there are other people who would want to contribute to this Bill. I am happy that the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget has also considered to amend Section 108(2) (a) of The County Governments Act by inserting the implementation of the County Wards Equitable Development Fund. Without that amendment, that would have flown in view

• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: the face of the County Governments Act; conditions under which there is a deviation from financial objectives. It is a good amendment and once it is done, there should be clarity that The County Government Act has been amended in order to take into account these changes and giving reasons and implications of this deviation. Proposals should also be given to address the deviation. We have already done it through this Bill and if that is followed through, everything will come to place. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Finally, let our county assembly leaders see this Bill as enhancing the ability and the capacity to oversight the executive. Let them not use this opportunity to also blackmail the executive because of personal interests. It is for the common good of everybody and we should use this opportunity to be supportive to one another. Let the executive play their role and the county assemblies also play their role in this oversight programme. When I go to address my county assembly during the annual address, these are some of the issues that I will be addressing because when we work ... view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you again, Sen. Kang’ata, for having come up with an idea. Although we have mutilated it, but it has been mutilated for better service to the people. I support. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Article 53 of our Constitution is candid and clear regarding the rights of our children. One such fundamental rights is the certificate of birth, nationality and citizenship of that child. Can the Ministry concerned take a requisite step to ensure that there is no undue delay in the registration of children born in this country? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have had a very nasty experience. Recently, one of my grandsons was denied form one entry because he lacked a birth certificate. Unfortunately, he lost his father, and his mother died in a road ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Wetangula for this Motion. Let me make it abundantly clear that people are, indeed, dying of hunger in Turkana County. Looking at their physical features and skin tenacity, as a doctor, I will tell you they have suffered from extreme malnutrition as a result of lack of food. We had on the table, early warning signs as early as October. The international community came in and gave those early warning signs. We have the Big Four Agenda under which one of them is food security. That is an equal alarm system which ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: enough when people are already dying. What I expected to see is action. We have it on record that the water aquifers in Turkana County surpasses any other water levels in Kenya. Lake Turkana is the largest water body in that county. Why can the Government not move with speed to provide water? Sink boreholes right now and provide immediate water for those who can survive while also supplementing the populations with food that is lying idle in the stores? One of the final functions of our national Government is food production, storage and distribution. They have failed in the ... view
