• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: saying nasty things to one another. We need to hang our heads in shame, and there is no debate about that. However, in the interest of time, I humbly request that those who have spoken have done so on our behalf. Can we just proceed to vote? view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to add my voice to this issue. I share the concerns of our CPAIC Chairman, Sen. M. Kajwang’, as far as the need to have the input of county assemblies into the accounts of a particular county. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the rebuttal by the Senate Majority Leader is with merit as well as far as Article 96 of the Constitution is concerned. We, as the Senate, have the final word on any particular issue that touches on the success or failure of devolution. However, I want to imagine a situation where, for example, a Senator of a particular county is not in the room when CPAIC is considering accounts that have been brought before them. I have had opportunity to read through the Auditor-General’s Report on my county. Some of the issues that are raised would only ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: If you find yourself in such a situation where CPAIC is considering the accounts without any formalized way of the assembly having their input on this particular issue, then chances are that so many issues may easily be explained away by the executive, with failure of either the resident Senator or the county assembly actually point out the Committee to the right direction that when the executive is answering is misleading to a particular extent. We have found instances where a particular road, for example, is named Road “A” to “B” using the local name. When the county executive committee ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am informed and appreciate that information. I want to request that when Kericho County comes, please, invite the county assembly as well. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with my colleagues who have added their voice to this extremely important issue. In other countries, farmers and servicemen, who serve in the military, are the most celebrated professions. Unfortunately, this Petition has shown us that the life of our men in uniform is anything but rosy. It is my humble request that the Committee that will consider this Petition should go beyond the call of duty of just penning a report and having it gather dust in Parliament. That Committee can invite the leaders who are in charge of our ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share in the concerns of the Senate Minority Leader. There is an increasing trend where certain CSs have set a precedence to never show up in this House no matter how serious the matter that we are canvassing is. For the record, the CS in charge of this particular matter, if I am not misled, is one such person. This is because he has not shown up before our Committee on a number of occasions. Therefore, it would be important, as the invitations are sent to the Ministry inviting them to this meeting, to share the ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: I wish the Senate Majority and Minority leaders had followed through with a request that I once made in this House. Given the importance of the issue of the census, we needed an ad hoc Committee of this House to provide oversight from planning and implementation phase to relaying of the results of the census. However, now that it did not happen, this is our only opportunity to interact with them. Using both your soft and hard powers, ensure that we have this CS before this House on that day. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate today, Thursday, 25th July, 2019- Report of the Ad hoc Committee inquiring into the challenges facing the tea sector in Kenya. view
