• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: You can imagine that if you have a sick person, the person requires to be discharged from the hospital, you need to apply within 14 days. Where will you get this County Executive Committee Member (CECM)? If we were not able to get the District County Commissioner (DCC) who was just within the District, but now this is a CECM in charge of a county, or a Cabinet Secretary in charge of the country? It is not possible. view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: One of the clauses here say that if you intend to seek public office three years before elections, you should not conduct any fundraising. How would you know? You know, seeking a seat is sometimes a calling. The community can approach you to vie for a seat six months before the election. What will happen if you have conducted a fundraiser before? It means you will be locked out. The community will lose a leader who would have come to assist the people. Madam Temporary Speaker, check the fines given. If you conduct a fundraiser without a valid permit, then ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also add my displeasure to the absence of the Cabinet Secretaries. If you remember, it is the Executive that requested to come to the House to answer Questions. It was not Parliament that initiated this particular issue. So, you can imagine a Cabinet Secretary such as Hon. Miano going to witness putting tracking devices on rhinos instead of sending the Director General of Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) or the PS. This is a contempt of the highest order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, she needs to be censored or even impeached because she is ... view
• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute and support this Motion that you have come up with. If you remember, I think after the Sixth Parliament, the National Assembly then was an arm of the Office of the President. I am told - as I was not there - that every Thursday, the MPs used to go and collect their allowances from the Office of the President. Basically, there was no independence of the National Assembly then. This is the same problem that our county assemblies are facing but this law is going to ... view
• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also important to note that you were in the ‘Lower House’ together with Sen. Osotsi, Sen. Maanzo and I for close to 10 years. I believe you and Sen. Maanzo will look for a Member of the National Assembly to co-sponsor the Bill so that as soon as the Bill is passed in this House, you have someone who will champion it in the National Assembly. When you are in the National Assembly, you do not appreciate what the Senate does until you arrive here. It is important that we start engaging our colleagues. ... view
• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: governor's office. I hope this will also reduce the impeachment of the governors because everybody will be independent and do their own jobs because that has been a source of conflict. I thank you. I support the Bill. view
