• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that leaders should not be misers. They should not resist giving out money. I said that the Senator, instead of becoming a miser, should have given out money. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I withdraw and apologise and salute you. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I were dealing with Sen. Khalwale, I would not have made that remark. However, he is my friend and that is with a light touch. With regard to questions raised by hon. Sen. Obure, according to the recruitment regulations, religious leaders, administrators and community leaders were supposed to assist in the recruitment. As to what role they have played, that is difficult for me to say. As to the medical examinations, they are referred to health centres and hospitals where we certify their age or ailments. With regard to the question raised by Sen. Khalwale about ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to follow suit following the remarks of Sen. Kajwang that I take note of the Bill on the allocation of funds to the counties. I am saying so because while rightfully we are supposed to agitate and fight for the counties to be given adequate resources for them to do the service that is expected of them. Personally, and I am not talking about all the governors, but some of the governors are not able to manage the affairs of the counties particularly when it comes to the resources that are being allocated to ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: This is because contracts are being awarded left, right and centre and it is already pre- determined even before it is advertised. In some cases, instead of these contracts being open and being given at the county headquarters, they are taken to another county so that the corruption is taken very far away from the eyes of the people of that area. I have evidence to support that claim. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when it also comes to employment, I have a case whereby the post is being advertised and the candidate to be employed is the one who is ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Can we really say that devolution is helpful to every part of this country? It is not! The second thing, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is that instead of contracts being advertised – I have just heard Sen. Ongoro talking of people of Nairobi being elite – the people in the rural areas, particularly in these marginalized parts of our country, do not read newspapers or notices. They use their money to get contracts and they are given the contracts without any advertisements. I also have evidence to that effect. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we should not be lamenting here ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: By next year, we want to see heads rolling; some of these Governors should be taken to court. The county assemblies are compromised; they cannot raise a finger because they are given contracts to give to their kith and kin. This is a fact. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Senate should wake up, not to merely support devolution just for the sake of it while we know that this money is being misused left, right and centre; and by who? By some Governors! I am not talking about all the Governors. Some of them might be doing a very good job. We have heard that Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) are travelling all over the world such that now, some of them are not even accepted in South Africa, Malaysia; and they have been refused entry into Tanzania. Who has been brought to ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: There is a lot of movement here. I did not even get the request. I am sorry. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: This lady and this gentleman. view
