• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: On a more serious note, the orders that Senators are seeking that you give this afternoon are very important and cardinal to our operations as a House. It will not be the first time that your good office will be stamping the authority of our institution in the Republic of Kenya. I wish to remind you that in the last Parliament, when we were debating the controversial election laws, Senators found Parliament marooned by police officers and we felt that, that was intimidating to us as Members of Parliament. From that very Chair that you are seated on, your predecessor ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I was saying, the orders that we are seeking you to make are not strange and it will not be the first time. On that fateful day, from the very seat that you are sitting on this afternoon, the then Speaker ordered that there shall be no transaction of any parliamentary business until the police officers who had cordoned off Parliament were asked to move out. Business came to a standstill until they moved away. Therefore, we are pleading with you to protect this institution by telling the Inspector General (IG) --- I suspect ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have tried to guide Sen. Kang’ata under our Standing Orders on the role of generally being within the confines of what is the content of debate in the House. Earlier on today, there was a serious debate on the official Senate WhatsApp group, where Sen. Kang’ata, for the first time since he joined this House, asked for the Order Paper. I have been sitting here curiously; and I wanted to know what is this matter that he had great knowledge in and which he wanted to share with the House. ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: The fact that despite your earlier warning or caution to Sen. Kang’ata to remain within the contents of what is within the Bill, there is this continuous move to speak about a particular institution, which is not clear to me. Maybe he can help me to understand why the interest in that institution. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for giving me this chance. I support this Bill by my good friend, Senator for West Pokot; Sen. Pogishio. This is a very important Bill which even before we delve into its merits because in any case, it is a very small amendment, I would wish to call to the attention of the House that on many occasions, when presented with Bills during Second Reading, Senators suggest so many good proposals for amendment that they note with how the Bill has been drafted. However, when we are doing Committee of the Whole, we have just ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Assembly and the Clerk of the Senate. Without that level of specificity in the Bills that we are passing, then we end up finding ourselves in the kind of situations where laws have been passed in the National Assembly and just the same is transmitted to the President for assent without concurrence from the Senate. You find that such Bills are signed into law and they become operational. It is unfortunate that we only have to rely on data of this world to remind us on many occasions that this particular Bill was supposed to have been transmitted to the ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. I want to appreciate the very good thoughts and work that has been put into this Bill by my elder brother and friend, the Senator of Vihiga County, Sen. Khaniri. 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
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: The fact that six years into devolution, we, as a House, have not considered making such laws, speaks a lot about how us. Sometimes we miss our priorities because we do not consider matters that are extremely important to our county governments. Devolution offered Kenyans an opportunity to self-governance. If you listened keenly to Kenyans in the run up to the 2010 Referendum, they felt that they were not getting proper representation and services from the centre. It was, therefore, important that we go the devolved way. This was to ensure that each and every person in our society, in ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The CPSB advised that despite the fact that there might be established need for that particular county to recruit county enforcement officers, the procedure under the Public Service Management is for them to come up with an establishment that also gives the proposals of the requisite qualifications for one to be recruited as an enforcement officer. They were basically telling the county that they had put the cart before the horse and it would be impossible to solve that quagmire as it is. To date, the stand-off has never been resolved in many counties. I ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: required number and what will be the proper number of enforcement officers per county. The CPSB is well--- view
