• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am told that soon if the candidate running to be a governor is a man, the deputy will be a woman, the same to the President and vice versa. Some of us might have to ‘change’ our genders to qualify. view
• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe as soon as the Bill is accented to, the regulation will be put in place to actualize it, so that those who really deserve to benefit they benefit. In the past, the houses that were built by county councils were supposed to benefit the poor, but some of the rich benefited illegally. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I still beseech, especially the committee during the Committee of the Whole House; we bring amendments on the capping. Initially when the levy came through the Finance Bill, it was 3 per cent and capped at Kshs2,500 for ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the report by the Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds. This is a disease that has been there since the days of county and municipal councils. As Sen. Oketch Gicheru said, by the close of 2012, defunct county councils owed pension schemes over Kshs9 billion. From 2013 up to now, the amount has risen from Kshs9 billion about Kshs82 billion. This basically means that governors have not been remitting pension deductions from 2013 up to now. It is not that money was and is not being send to the counties. Employees ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: If you check, you will find that LAPFUND, LAPTRUST, Central Provident Fund (CPF) and National Social Security Fund (NSSF) are owed a lot of money by county governments. In fact, out of the 47 counties, it is only three that are up to date. Nyeri County is one of them. We need to laud the three counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we may need to amend the Retirements Benefits Authority Act, so that the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) can empower the KRA to be a collector of pension deductions from county governments. If they cannot deduct, the CoB should deduct at ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to conclude this Order by commenting on the Statement by Sen. Kavindu Muthama. About four years ago, the number of students qualifying to join universities were not as many as those who went to private universities. In its own wisdom, the Government found it wise to send students to private and public universities under signed capitation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that for four years, most private and public universities are still struggling because the Government has not sent capitation to those universities. I am even told that Scott Christian University in ... view

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: capitation from the Ministry of Education. This is a very important Statement to help our universities so that they can grow. Finally, let me comment on the Statement by the Senator for Bomet. It is unfortunate that our journalists are being harassed everywhere both at the national and county level. It is unfortunate what happened in Bomet County where journalists were harassed by goons hired by the Governor because of political competition among the leaders. It is important that Article 34 of the Constitution is fully followed. The Media Council of Kenya needs to be invited to come to this ... view

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, mine is to find out from the Cabinet Secretary: November to January, we, the dairy farmers, are paid late by Kenya Co- operative Creameries (KCC). There is an assurance from the President that we will be paid twice beginning this March. I would like to know if the Cabinet Secretary can assure this House that our farmers will be paid every 15 days. What plans does he have to ensure we get feeds for dairy at subsidized price across the country? view
