• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I also rise to support this Motion by Senator for Narok. The issue of pending bills cuts across both national Government and county governments. It is a sad affair because the governments at both levels have resorted to borrowing money from unwilling suppliers and contractors. This has seen destruction of small enterprises. These are people who have been committed to supply goods, but wait for years before they can get paid. As I stand here, I am a proud Nyerian. This is because Nyeri County is one of those counties ... view
• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not lost to us that we have a huge young population in this country. We talk about access to Government opportunities by the youth, women and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). Most of our youth live in urban set-ups. They do not have collateral that is required for them to access financial facilities from financial institutions. Therefore, they end up borrowing money from their relatives and shylocks. At the end of the day, because of non-payment, many young people who hold the future of this country end up not only demoralised. Some of them end up ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. I urge my fellow Senators, let us get into dialogue with our governors. Let us sit down with county assemblies and county executives, so that we can save Kenyans who are being auctioned and dying from depression. We need to save the situation. This can only be done through a concerted effort and us putting mechanisms and measures in place so that there is no new commitment. No new procurement should be done before pending bills are settled. Failure to do this, will not only ruin the companies, but also see many ... view

As it has been said by a Senator on this Floor, many governors come up with supplementary budgets, so that they do not have to go through public participation. Hon. Senators, our work is to oversight. We have the mandate and power to ensure that county governments honour ... view
