• 14 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in putting the Calendar together, we have taken into account the major deadlines that we have as the Senate. Those are for legislations such as the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. The sitting days take into account the deadlines, so that we are in the House when that is supposed to happen. In addition, there is The Division of Revenue Bill, which is very important as it has guidelines and deadlines. Given the way the Calendar has been structured, we shall be able to deal with it. We should be able to deliver within the days ... view

• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to congratulate Sen. Wambua for bringing this timely Petition. I also wish to bring to the attention of whichever Committee the Petition will go to that this issue is not specific to Kitui County only. It is an issue that we have seen in many counties across the country. Even in my county of Nakuru, I have had many contractors come forward and say that they are being auctioned; their houses, cars, assets and everything are being taken away. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we started the system of devolution, we were extremely excited that it would address issues in mashinani. However, the non-payment of bills is leading to the same people that we are trying to empower in the grassroots being auctioned and run out of business. It is a travesty that is happening across the country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: I would urge whichever Committee the Petition will go to that they should come up with real-time solutions for the counties across the country. The governors need to be paying bills. They cannot be getting money from the National Treasury and using it on, for example, investor conferences, when they have unpaid bills in the county. They should not do things that are not a priority, when our people are being run out of business because they have no money. They have done the work and provided the services, but the county has not paid. It is unacceptable. view
