• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: clean water for domestic use, particularly the residents of Nguka, Ndorome, Kiuria, Ciagini, and Mathangauta villages who currently draw, water from irrigation canals which expose them to diseases. (2) Provide the timelines set by the Government for such plans and indicate whether it will be implemented within the FY 2023/2024. I thank you. view
• 2 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise on my feet, not as a proud Kenyan, but a disappointed one because of the way we have run most of the State corporations. This is not only limited to KQ. We have been conducting an inquiry into why Kenyans have been made to pay whooping sums of money to private power producers. view
• 2 May 2023 in Senate: It beats logic why a sitting Cabinet Secretary (CS), Permanent Secretary (PS) and Managing Directors (MDs), who are paid by the Kenyan taxpayers’ money, would sit and collude with investors to defraud Kenyans of their money. view
• 2 May 2023 in Senate: It is not by mismanagement, but by design that KQ has continued to make losses because whenever it does so, the money is paid from the taxpayers. It is a way to siphon money from Kenyans. If we could be candid with one another, we know that the equipment owned and hired by KQ belongs to the ‘who is who’ in this society. They are out to siphon our money. We see the buses at the airport. They earn millions of shillings per day for doing nothing. It is high time we bite the bullet and say, enough is enough. ... view
• 2 May 2023 in Senate: 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
• 2 May 2023 in Senate: This airline uses defined routes, it does not make mkato like the matatus. How does it make losses? If it flies from here to New York at full capacity, how does it make losses? It is high time Kenyans stopped being taken as fools. We must now put a stop to this habit of hiring equipment expensively, maintaining them even in a more expensive way, so that few individuals can benefit. I, therefore, think that this Statement is timely. It is high time we try to expose people who are involved, like we are doing in the energy sector. If ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion. Let me start by passing my condolences message to the families who lost their relatives through this macabre commission by one psychopath called Mackenzie. However, as I commend the team that has been put together to look at this matter, we know that we cannot pass a blanket condemnation of the churches. We know that the church is at the bottom of the community development through mobilization that has taken some of us where we stand today. Religion is a unifying factor and some of the people tend ... view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to commend you for noticing that Senator for Laikipia. Sen. Kinyua jumped two counties to get to Murang’a. I take this opportunity to welcome Members of the Murang’a County Assembly. The Senator for Murang’a County, Sen. Joe Nyutu is away on official duty. He had told me that they are coming. I had said that I will wait for your grace to give me an opportunity. However, the Commissioner decided to use his mandate and power vested in him as a Commissioner to grab the opportunity. However, thank you. I would like ... view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: County Assembly of Murang’a. view
• 19 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support. We know that the county governments form one of the political units at the grassroots level. The devolved units in the last ten years have been able to achieve life changing economic empowerment in the communities to the local counties. In absence of misappropriation and mismanagement of the funds allocated to the county governments, Kenya would be quite far in terms of community development. We should also note with a lot of concern that there are very many resources, as alluded to by the Senator of Turkana, that are shared ... view
