• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: I am sorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Motion that is before the Floor of this House to adjourn debate. This is because if there are two issues that have left us with a bad face, as the Senate, at this particular term, one is the issue we concluded yesterday on the Kshs316 billion versus the Kshs335 billion debate. The second one is this particular issue, which we continue to struggle with as a House. Therefore, it will be extremely important that the leadership of this House consults widely and treats this matter with the extreme sensitivity that ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will try to be extremely brief in this very difficult moment for the Senate. I am a worried Senator this afternoon, because, for the last two or three weeks, we have groped around this particular issue and do not seem to be making proper headway. I think it is time that the leadership of Senate takes time to educate us, first, as their Members, on how they want us to approach this particular issue of obvious disregard of the rule of law by the National Assembly and the President as well. I want to ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: For example, when he receives a Vellum, like what he received today, of a Bill that has been considered by two Houses, is it not so obvious that he would want to view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: familiarize himself with what the contributions are from the two Houses of Parliament? It would be important for this House to know whether what was presented to him today had your signature. If it was forged, it would be important for Kenyans to know who this is that is misleading the entire country and helping to kill devolution. This is because what is happening is that we are denying devolution oxygen in small bits, and before we know it, it will just collapse and die. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will remember that already, there are reports of counties where certain hospitals have been shut, The obvious propaganda that will be run on county governments is that they are unable to perform, and therefore, what we need to do is to return the health function to the national Government. In counties like where some of us come from, you will find that no functions of county governments have taken place for the last three or four months. Therefore, the citizens will soon be informed that it is thanks to the inability of county governments to perform ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: As a House, what is our strategy? I have also seen leadership join us in bemoaning the inglorious activities of the National Assembly. I listened to what my colleague, Sen. Malalah said, but he sits in the Senate Business Committee together with my Chairman, Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is you guys in the Senate Business Committee (SBC) who proposed that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill be brought to the House this afternoon. If the SBC decided that this Order be brought to the House then you come to mourn with us, surely, you guys are part ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator seated next to me was my lecturer at the university. He has informed me that when you sit in a committee and fail to do the right thing, you are no longer a Senator but a guy. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: This is one of the days that I do not want to follow my lecturer‘s advice. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathise with my lecturer this afternoon. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it appears that I am on my own. I will proceed nonetheless. In conclusion, I would like to state that I agree with the sentiments of our colleagues who have stated that it is how we approach this issue that will determine whether we will have a job to do for the next three years while we are still Members of this House or we will have none at all. view
