• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: The Committee takes great exception to the cost of the deputy governor's chair in which it was demonstrated from the evidence adduced that a comprehensive market survey was not undertaken. As a committee, we considered that to be wasteful and urge counties to procure goods based on properly assessed market value. view
• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: On the second allegation, which is misuse of public resources, the committee found the allegation not to have been substantiated. On the third allegation of bullying, the committee found the allegation not to have been substantiated. From what we gathered, there is a lot of infighting across the counties between governors and their deputies. We might need to amend some laws because it appears that during campaigns, governors and deputy governors get into marriages of convenience to get votes. As soon as they are elected into office, the fights start after the inauguration. There are issues that this House needs ... view
• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was about to finish. I was saying that governors and their deputies need to find a way of resolving their own issues internally at the initial stages before bringing their own fights to the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to say much. I beg to move and request the Vice- Chairperson of the Special Committee, Sen. Montet to second. view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of my family, the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet County and myself, I wish to convey sincere condolences to you, the Clerk, the staff of Senate, ourselves and the family for the loss of Marya. I have seen Marya since I came to this Senate this year, always ever present in the House. We pray that the Almighty God will comfort the family, give them peace and strength during this difficult time. May her soul rest in eternal peace. view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, I rise to support. This is a transitional Clause to ensure that those who already have licenses to exploit natural resources continue to enjoy the same. view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, I rise to support the amendment by the Chair because, as you know, these natural resources are exploited in the counties. In the past, the county governments were not there and, therefore, it was only in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary (CS). However, since this law affects the counties, then it is important that the Council of Governors (CoG), and especially that particular county with resources are consulted. Thank you, Mr. Chairperson, Sir. view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I wanted to raise the same sentiments. This is an important Authority that is going to ensure that counties and the communities benefit. Therefore, it is important that we have representatives of the CoG and county assemblies. view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Sen. Lomenen, the Senator for Turkana, complained about oil that was exported but the county did not get anything. As we do regulations for this Bill, we should ensure that before investors recoup from the investments, counties and communities should get something small progressively. view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Counties and communities should get something minimal, as investors take more to recoup their investments. With time, counties and the communities will surpass what they would have received originally. view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, counties should benefit from natural resources that God gave communities especially where they are not endowed with rain. I am saying this because in Elgeyo-Marakwet County, there is expression of interest by the Ministry of Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs. I hope this law will be fast-tracked, so that by the time an investor comes, it will be in effect. view
