• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this report by the Committee on Finance and Budget chaired by Sen. Ali Roba. I congratulate the committee for the good work they have done. I support the idea that money should go to the counties. We are elected to protect counties at all times. I will touch on two or three areas. It is not enough for us to have money going to the counties. However much we try to support counties to get money, we want to have the funds utilized accordingly. Every county's own source revenue is under-budgeted. They exaggerate revenue ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion on county governments' non-remittance of pensions to these pension schemes. I really wonder why counties are unable to remit these monies to the pension schemes. This is a 12 per cent deduction from the employee and 15 per cent by the employer. Why are they unable to remit these deductions, considering that much of the money is from the employees? Employees earn meagre salaries after these deductions. We should ask the governors to explain this. I support the idea of the Senator of Taita Taveta. We need to bring these governors ... view

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the hon. Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development for answering a supplementary question on farmers, particularly on the cartels and the plan they have for the farmers. Keep in mind that farmers are expecting a bumper harvest. The question I wanted to ask was covered well. However, I request the CS to give us a plan on restocking of livestock in the country. We know you have a plan as a Ministry. We also have directives of the President, particularly on Kajiado County knowing that we lost many livestock during the ... view
