September 18, 2018 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Cherargei Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, it is very unfortunate that the Liaison Committee has never met to discuss the program we are working on or drafting some timetable that is not in existence. This is because we, as the Chairmen, through Liaison Committee, have...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity so that I can make very brief sentiments on this particular report. Let me begin by hailing the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget, Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud, for the very good report on the schedule for the disbursement...

my county, I tell the people that I am the one who brings this money; I am the one who debates on what comes to Vihiga County. I want to inform them that when revenue is collected by the national Government, the first Bill that comes to Parliament – and...

I do not object to the idea of building a residence for the governor, but that cannot be a priority. It cannot take precedence before issues like equipping our health centres, dispensaries and county hospitals. We can only embark on such projects once we have dealt with issues that affect...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to comment and to give my thoughts on the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule for Fiscal Year 2018/19. I would like to associate myself with the sentiments expressed by many of my colleagues. This is possibly one of the most important...

of our county governments are actually collecting much less than the defunct municipalities and town councils in proportion to how the economy was then. Beyond comparing it with the administrative structures that we had before devolution, my own County of Nairobi has collected Kshs1 billion less than it did during...

Let me proceed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Deputy Speaker (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) Okay.

He has retreated from the House. It is important that when a decision is being made on division of revenue; before we go to the horizontal division amongst counties, we have to make sure that the decision of how much money we are giving to that level of government is...

now a budget of Kshs32 billion. However, the capacity to monitor and evaluate this money is missing. The capacity and ability for us, as Senators, to look at these projects or create public portals where wananchi can say that ‘yes, you have said that in Kasarani Ward, for example, this...

the limit of our debt. This country is not just inherited from our parents, but it is borrowed from our children. The burden of debt must be shared equitably across all generations.Especially in this day and age of “handshake”, can we sit down and look at the sustainability of our...

county that I have seen the governor keen to have this done is Kisumu County. I do not know what his motivation is, but at least he has been able to provide for that. There was some thinking and wisdom when the Urban and Cities Act created the position of...

look at some of the funds that are lying dormant. There is Kshs10 billion lying at the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) Fund that is supposed to be from user charges of passengers. It is just sitting there waiting for a legal framework that has never been created.There is another Kshs5...

Sen. Cherargei Madam Temporary Speaker, the HANSARD will bear me out because I had indicated that at the start of my submissions. I have also said that he is my neighbour and he is a rabble-rouser down there. Finally, I want to agree with my fellow Senators. Why is it...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I also wish to rise to support the Motion and the elevation of Sen. Outa into this very important Committee. Sen. Outa is up to the task. He desired to be in this Committee, and I think that it is important for somebody to have a sense...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I want to support this Motion. Sen. Outa is equal to the task. I was with him in the 11th Parliament, I know how capable he is. I also want to support the sentiments of my colleagues that when it comes to...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to support this Motion, that Sen. Outa joins the Committee on Health. I have served with him in the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration where you also sit and I have seen his commitment and passion in serving. Health is an...

Health, which to some extent is doing some good work. It is one thing to have good facilities but the problem is maintenance of those facilities. Maybe five years from today, whatever we are buying will not serve the purpose.The other thing that the Committee on Health needs to look...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I join other Members to congratulate my good friend, Sen. Outa, who represents Kisumu County, for his nomination to the Committee on Health. For the time I have known him, I have no doubt in my mind that he brings on board a wealth of experience in...

In 2015, Isiolo County had put an allocation of Kshs1.2 billion for supply of drugs but when a spot-check was done in hospitals, it was found out that there were no drugs in any hospitals. The World Bank funded my county with over Kshs50 million to support essential supply of...

Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Motion. Kindly, allow me to condole with the family of Ms. Sharon who passed on. On behalf of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) , my family and myself, I condole with this family. My prayer...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I have listened to the various views that were more about the Committee on Health than Sen. Outa as a person. The sentiments are welcome and I appreciate the auditing of the performance of the Committee on Health, and I am the one who initiated that debate....

Chairperson of a Committee? We cannot discuss issues and you cannot answer anything or bring any report to the House. We only see you once in a blue moon. You are lucky to see some people here. It is like the eclipse of the sun. We cannot continue in that...

Sen. Cherargei Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. If anybody in this country had doubts that the fight against corruption is real, there is no doubt. Somebody today asked whether the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) have added another agenda to Agenda Four August...

Sen. Cherargei On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I understand the mood of the House and the country at large. At the beginning, I insisted that this matter is of national importance. We will not allow cartels to hold this House at ransom. We must stand and provide...

Sen. Cherargei Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also take note that Sen. Mwaura is sharply and impeccably dressed today. I have heard what he has said and I am happy that he supports the course for justice. From the onset, I want to thank the Committee led by one...

Sen. Cherargei Madam Temporary Speaker, I am finalising my contribution. The best gift that we can give to the people of Solai and many others who have undergone through this kind of a tragedy, is to ensure the full implementation of this Report. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support....

Sen. Cherargei Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I want to say that the lives and properties that were lost in Solai are very sacred. We would not like Kenyans to lose their lives at any given point again. Articles 34 and 35 of the Constitution provide...
