• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My concern is on the Public Finance Management Act which stipulates that all the funds from the Treasury must be pushed to the county treasury and managed by the executive arm before they are is given to the assemblies. Sen. Wetangula has said that an arrangement should be made for the IFMIS system to be adjusted in a way that funds can be directly remitted to the assemblies. With that section of the law, how are we going to manage this? In any case, I find it as a sibling war between the executive officers ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that you have appreciated the stress which our fellow Senator and Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations has expressed to this House on his encounter with this fictitious lady. Would I be in order to demand that we are told the name of the stubborn lady? view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Hon. Senators, we are now in the Committee of the Whole. Before we proceed, may I recognise the students at the public gallery from Tharaka-Nithi together with their teachers? You are welcomed and highly recognized in the Senate. I hope your stay will be of use to your education. I can see your Senator, Prof. Kindiki, is here and is delighted to see you. I will now embark on the business of the House. I will start by calling out the clauses that have no amendments. view

• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the operationalization of the Public Finance Management Act, as it is now, is a big problem and an impediment to the running of the county assemblies. There is, indeed, a stalemate in nearly all the counties between the Speakers and the Governors on what I would call “sibling” rivalry on financial management. Indeed, in my own county – Migori – there is a big problem now and it could land in this Senate for arbitration. Would I be in order to request that the Chairman organizes a mandatory retreat of the Governors and Speakers of all the ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As we recognise the honour that the daughter of Kenya has been given, we also remember her achievements in our country. In 1976, when I was a first year student at the University of Nairobi, Prof. Micere was a lecturer. I had the honour of being taught by her husband in biochemistry.

• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been reading and re-reading this Motion as put to us by the eloquent, well learned and renown educator in this country, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, but I feel that we will be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Inequity and marginalization in matters of education have a big fulcrum on historical injustices. Indeed, many other regions paid taxes those days just to concentrate on building institutions in certain “right” places. During my time in education, it was so terrible that there was no secondary school where I come from and I ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no bad intention; may his soul rest in peace. But something happened during his time as the Minister for Education which encouraged schools to admit the bulk of their students from the local area. You have had some regional schools taking many students to universities than others. For example, Murang’a High School will send over 50 students to universities while Tarang’anya High School in Kuria will--- view
