• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if Sen. Poghisio was to allow me, I would conclude my matter. The point I was trying to raise is that if Sen. Poghisio had concentrated enough to listen to my argument from the beginning, he would have realized my point. If in trying to push my point on the difference between a select committee and a Committee of the Whole, if there is any inkling towards making it appear as if a select committee is more susceptible to being unduly influenced, I withdraw that perception. However, it is unclear to me how I can withdraw a ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Since we began this debate, Sen. Sakaja, who is the originator of this Statement, has brought a twist to this issue. Perhaps the best way to handle it is to pick on five areas that are more critical to Nairobi City County, and have a committee look into them. Having made such submissions, I abandon my earlier thought on why it is important--- view

• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: I am abandoning my persuasion on whether to proceed. Earlier on I thought that a Committee of the Whole will be better. However, I pray that we stay long enough until Members get to see the difference between what I was trying to argue, then we will have the discussion later. In no way do I imply that anyone is of a lesser character or conduct in this House. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was wondering whether Sen. Malalah meant that Sen. Sakaja should put on a brave face or be brave. I think that he meant the latter rather than the former. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important issue. I want to point at where the problem is. If you were to ask me about where the challenge, in terms of pending bills in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: counties, comes from, it is from Article 228 of our Constitution. The Office of the Controller of Budget has failed this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have been a governor and you understand how public finance in counties is managed. We cannot expense public funds unless you have a budget for that particular budget line item. How it is that county governments are able to requisition money, say to pay for a particular road, but thereafter, because of the meanderings therein, they end up paying a particular supplier, as it has been pointed out by Sen. Malalah, because that supplier ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, you need to guide Sen. Mwaruma. The next time he is lost, he should consult the Clerk-at-the-Table. He should find out from them what is happening and not interrupt Members who are speaking. I was saying that the Government should facilitate business, and not come up with unilateral decisions that affect the livelihoods of Kenyans without any reference to what The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Constitution says. For example, I have just seen that today, the CS for Environment and Forestry extended the period on the moratorium on the ban of logging in our forests for another six months. Mr. Speaker Sir, you remember that the issue of how the decision was made, it was strongly criticized when we were in Naivasha meeting with the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). It points out to the issue that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. raised; the fact that the Government unilaterally makes decisions without regard to the Constitution and how it affects the lives of Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The issue being raised by my colleague, Sen. Iman, is very important. In the last few weeks, we have seen various Government agencies trading blame over what should be regarded as a very serious issue of national security. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the dangers on the lives of the people who were in that flight cannot be over-emphasized. That the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) was not prudent in executing its mandate, is not in question. However, what worries us more is that instead of giving a better explanation on the measures they intend to ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: I request that instead of the usual 14 days, this matter be expedited, and this House be briefed properly on it within the next seven days. view
