• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: If I may just raise one or two issues in the report, you find a query on the construction of a flat at Kapenguria Sub-County Hospital. Now, Kapenguria Sub-County Hospital is the County Referral Hospital. Already by just naming a sub-county hospital, it removes the burden of how big that hospital is. It is the main and also the referral hospital. The next issue that they raised in No.2 on page 79 is revenue at Kapenguria Sub-County, but it does not say what sub-county. It is the same hospital they are raising queries on. It just goes to show how ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the next thing they raised is about plastic chairs for nursery schools. The query that they raised was only worth Kshs7 million. There are much more glaring issues in West Pokot County than these that have been raised in the report. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: The fourth one that they raised is the purchase of bulk fuel. Can you imagine in a county where a lot of issues are going on, that these are the only issues that were raised as a matter of fact? Those are the only things that make the pages for West Pokot County. view

• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: As has been said here, sometimes it is good for the Committee to speak to us about the issues that we can raise, so that you can look at it much more clearly. Otherwise, I congratulate the Committee. This Committee is probably one of the Committees that has done a very good job. I know that their task is to depend on the reports already given from the Auditor-General and what the management has said. However, now in foresight, they can begin to see how they will bring this accountability to bear on the executives of our counties. Madam Temporary ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it really in order for citizens who cannot defend themselves in this House to be named here, and for the Chair not to notice the weight of it? Can those names be withdrawn and allow Kenyans to--- view
