• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised because Sen. Faki was loud in passing the four minutes. I am now wondering why--- I will be brief because the BPS is a straight-forward matter. There is a history as to why I want the House to pass this report. On many occasions over the years, the National Treasury has continually returned to us months later saying they received our reports late after the statutory timeline. Therefore, it was impossible for them to consider the recommendations we had prepared for them. Today being the last day, I request that upon completion of this ... view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.153, I beg to move that the Committee of the Whole do report progress on its consideration of the Water (Amendment) Bill 2023, (National Assembly Bills No. 33 of 2023) and seeks leave to sit again tomorrow. view

• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee on the said report and request the indefatigable bull fighter, Senator of Kakamega to second. view
• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the Senate today, Tuesday, 05th March, 2024 - view
• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Bill by Sen. M. Kajwang’ a man who likes to keep his options as many as possible in most affairs of his life. That is why you can see the number of people he has led up to in seconding the Bill. This is an extremely important Bill that has been in the corridors of this House for quite a long time. It is an extremely important duty which we must carry out as a House of Parliament, specifically the Senate. Boundary disputes are not new in this House. ... view
• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: We are proposing a mediation Committee. We always speak of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a method of resolving disputes. However, this is the first time in an Act of Parliament where we are proposing to establish in law mediation committees within our counties to look into issues that arise. Perhaps maybe later with the success of this, we shall learn useful lessons on how to craft devolution centred laws that will provide opportunity for people who disagree in our various counties to seek mediation within rather than outside of it. That is an important element of all conversations we ... view
• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: I am yet to meet two lawyers who agree on the same topic. They are the most opinionated people. However, may times when there are disputes, we suggest having a person who has experience. What is wrong in proposing a senior Accountant with 15 years’ experience in Public Affairs to sit down and resolve that dispute; a prowess in conflict resolution or even an elder in society? Nonetheless, I agree with this proposal because you do recognise that I am seconding the Bill. When you second a Bill, you move the Bill as it is. That is a practice that ... view
• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: for people to sit. They actually have High Court powers as per Clause 12(1) of the Bill as proposed. First, they can summon witnesses. Second, they can call for the production of books, plans and documents. They can even examine witnesses on oath. Therefore, this is not an ordinary committee. They almost have equal powers to those that we have as Members of Parliament (MPs). Therefore, their work and going about how to resolve disputes like these particular challenges cannot be gainsaid. Sen. M. Kajwang’, it will benefit our colleagues to know that because of the mediation committee some of ... view
• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: separates them is not extremely difficult to the point that the mediation committee as set up in this Bill may not resolve. This is a wise move and a good proposal to have a mediation committee, so that we do not have to fix everything. It would be impossible to imagine that we could get to a point where we would draw the boundaries accurately so there would be no conflict. So long as you are neighbours, you will always disagree about boundaries. Those of us who come from densely populated communities, I do not know anybody who has a ... view
