• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: The contributions of the 28 countries that form the EU come from a position of understanding that these challenges can be surmounted. That a solution can be found for these young people from the countries facing upheavals so that they can settle in their countries by solving that particular problem, instead of just closing their borders and saying: “Nobody is allowed here.” People will allows find a way in, whether you like it or not. That is the experience that Europe has had for the last five to 10 years. The stricter they become with their immigration laws, the more ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: give attention to particular problems that the globe continues to face either in Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific or the European Union (EU). I would have liked to hear how the young Ms.Greta Thurnberg has captured the attention of the world on environmental issues at the on-going session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). That young girl said what all the Head of States put together in that room were unable to say. Ms.Thurnberg said that the business of measuring each other’s ego and trying to look good would not solve the environmental issues or degradation that the world ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to add my voice to that of my colleagues in condoling the families of these young children. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we speak, there is something that continues to trouble me; the fact that the proprietor of this institution continues to walk free on the streets of this city despite the obvious fact that the kind of structures that the children were learning in were not fit for such habitation. You do not need to be an engineer or a specialist to see that they were poorly constructed. Therefore, by this time, he ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this very important Motion on the County Government Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2019/2020. This is a very important business that we are transacting. After the approval of the disbursement, we, as a House, would have completed a very sacred duty of ensuring that county governments are properly funded and well resourced to execute their mandate as given by the people of Kenya. I will be extremely brief because the Mover has done justice to this Motion by explaining almost all the important highlights. This is a fairly straightforward ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Disbursement Schedule, the information in the public domain is that whether or not we pass it, it does not matter because it is deducted at source. It is really unfortunate. That is an illegality being perpetuating at the National Treasury. I ask our colleagues who have been nominated to work in the ad hoc Committee on leased medical equipment to expeditiously conclude that process. This is because this is a very grave issue. The issue that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. raised on the conditional grants that are in Schedules 2 and 3, we are disbursing Kshs316.5 billion to our counties. ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: In the spirit of collective responsibility, as a Committee we will be keen to understand--- view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am properly guided. I will follow the path that has been charted by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. The reason I raised that issue is because as the Senate, sometimes we do not do our work properly. When we do exceptional things, we leave them hanging and people do not appreciate some of the work that we do. I look forward to a time where those five county headquarters will be complete and the Senate will have a presence in their opening. Let people know that we do not legislate just for the fun of it. ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: With those many remarks, I second. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two quick points to say on this matter. First, I congratulate my colleague, Sen. Halake, for bringing to the attention of the Senate this very grave matter that affects her constituents. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: What is government? Sometimes I fail to understand, especially on days like these when we hear that the Government has shown up at a particular place and asked everybody to leave. I thought to the best of my knowledge and all the civics that I know that government is the people. There is no day or force of law that an institution that has been put in place by the same people can have more authority than the people who put it in place. view
