• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: else. Why is the CoB allowing county governments to continually receive money, when we know it is not going to the payment of these pending bills as a first charge on this CRF as provided for in the law? I want to make another proposal. This is something that I am sure Sen. Olekina agrees with. There is actually no point for any county government to begin construction or new projects when we have stalled projects. If you go to Joseph Kang’ethe Grounds in Woodley, there is a social hall that was started by Governor Kidero in 2013. Up to ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Bw. Naibu Spika, wanasema kuwa, mgala muue na haki umpe. Nimefurahia sana kusikia Waziri mmoja wa Serikali hii akikiri kwamba kuna mambo ambayo ni ya ugatuzi na Serikali Kuu haifai kuhusika na masuala yale haihusu Serikali Kuu. Ni Waziri wa kwanza katika Serikali hii ya Kenya Kwanza ambaye nimesikia akisema hayo. Imenishangaza kwa njia nzuri kwani mara nyingi kunaletwa Miswada hapa Bungeni ambayo siyo kazi ya Serikali Kuu. Hata hivyo, pale mwisho amejikanganya. Kama ni kweli hizi libraries zimegatuliwa ama zinafaa kusimamiwa na serikali za kaunti, library ambayo iko kwenye Kaunti ya Nairobi pale Upper Hill inafaa kuwa ikisimamiwa na ... view

• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Senator for Nandi County in order to impute ill motives on Members of this House? I would want him to clarify who the guilty, who are afraid, are. I hope he is not referring to the Chair, which would be something terrible to do. Please, could he clarify who are these people afraid of discussions regarding the welfare of Members are? view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We wanted to know from the Cabinet Secretary, Defence, two matters. (1) Are the renovation works at Uhuru Park in Nairobi City, which was being undertaken by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), complete? (2) Has the Park been handed back to the Nairobi City County Government and, if not, could the Cabinet Secretary provide a timeline for the same? view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Yes, indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that comprehensive response. However, the Cabinet Secretary perhaps could advise his team that they should also be responding to correspondence from Senators. I did write to you in February and all these could have been responded to in writing. I do not know what sort of correspondence management system you have at the Ministry of Defence, but it needs improvement. Number two, it is a terrible indictment on the capacity of the Nairobi County if the Ministry of Defence is doubting our ability to manage a park. It ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: I want the Cabinet Secretary, if he can just tell us very briefly about the contents of that MoU. We understand that under the Constitution, if there is going to be a transfer of functions between county governments, there needs to be a solid agreement as to what that entails. I thank you. view
