• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very interesting experience for Sen. Wetangula. I would like to join my colleagues in welcoming the good leaders from Elgeyo- Marakwet County Assembly. I welcome them with great honour. It will be a great travesty if I do not welcome them to our House because that county is very special to me. It is where my better half comes from. Any time I meet people from that county, I treat them with all the respect and honour. Therefore, if there is anything that they want to enjoy more than what is being offered, I ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1), I rise to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) or commonly referred to as the Huduma Number. In the statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain to the House the reasons for the introduction of NIIMS; (2) Provide ownership details of the companies that are undertaking the exercise and explain whether due procurement process was followed in acquiring the services of the said companies; (3) Explain what the NIIMS exercise entails, the expected budgets for each component and ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: I am sure many of my colleagues are aware that this is a matter of great national concern. Kenyans are asking many questions about the Huduma Number. I am sure colleagues are being confronted when they go to public functions to explain about the new thing that will be introduced. Therefore, it is important for this House to be furnished with the details of why this exercise is important, its benefits to the country and whether it was not possible to use already existing data as opposed to what is currently happening. Therefore, I request that the Committee expeditiously furnishes ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you did not communicate the time within which they are to furnish us with the response? view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a matter of great national importance. I assure you that when my colleagues travel home this weekend to meet their constituents, they will be faced with these questions. For example, the constituents in Narok do not know that Sen. Olekina belongs to Jubilee or NASA. They just know that he is a leader and he has a platform in Parliament. He is supposed to find answers for them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we can go for this weekend without answers but at least, let us know something by next weekend. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for this chance. I will begin on a very interesting note where the Senator who has spoken before me has urged us--- When contributing to Bills, the normal tradition is to share your thoughts on what 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
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: you think about the Bill that is before the House. You either agree or disagree with the thinking. However, so passionate is the Senator for Migori that he has urged us to put the interests of the county workers first. Earlier on, he mentioned why he considers pension to be a very serious matter. Having gone through the experience himself, he knows that it is something that we need to treat with a lot of care and caution. I take his advice seriously because it is said that it is better to learn from the mistakes or experiences of others, ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we go to the Devolution Conference, which leans more towards the executive, you will realize that all the diaries and notebooks that will come towards that are brought by the competing firm. This Bill intends to ensure that the pensions of staffers who work with our county governments are safely secured. This will ensure that in future, when one eventually retires after having served in our county governments, they will be able to earn a decent living and enjoy the benefits of their sweat decently, just like any other person who worked in Government or parastatal. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I can see that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., has crossed the Floor, and it is good for his party leader to note that he now sits on this side of the House. I agree with his framework of thinking, but do not share his view that anybody who would have a different view to the merger can do so based on the words that he used; ‘vested interests’. I do not think that is accurate. We must always encourage the principles of democracy that appreciates that at different times, we may hold different views, but it is ... view
