• 5 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. It is a very important document that we get here in the Senate and are given the chance to read through and get to understand the operations of things in terms of budget implementation and the overall fiscal health of our county governments. It is important to encourage my fellow colleagues Senators, to spend time with so much keen attention to detail and read this properly prepared document. If you read through, it will give you a proper understanding of the status of devolution both at National level - because that ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the correct name is “Kipkurui”. Not Kiptui. Thank you for giving me this chance. I also agree with the sentiments of the Senate Minority Leader, that this Petition falls below the threshold of what we should consider as a House, despite the fact that it is properly and expressly provided for in the Constitution that there is the right to petition. In my very considered opinion, we cannot waste valuable House time. This is especially considering that we have very pressing matters. We have not been able to discharge our duties and so, we cannot start addressing ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to issue a statement on the progress made in the process of election of Members to represent Kenya in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). This is on behalf of the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee on the Election of Members of the East African Legislative Assembly. As Members are aware, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, sadly, we are increasingly being treated to these kinds of debates every afternoon. It is not for lack of what to say that the Members you see in this House do not speak. We respect the dignity of this House and keep quiet each afternoon. Twenty to 30 minutes of our time, in my considered opinion, is wasted on these kinds of issues. Could you be firm and ensure that when you give a ruling, let it be final so that we make progress? We have important business to attend to. We come to this House ... view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support. I do so because we are quite limited in terms of options that we have. We know that counties are almost grinding to a halt as they await some of these schedules to be dispersed. However, I want it to be on record that as we continue to do this mandate as a Senate, some of us view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, forgetting all the things that have led us to this situation, will it be helpful if you would call to the Bar - now that you have been told there is a Leader of Minority - the minority side? It appears to me that in all those many words, he is saying that he needs to be recognized as the one forwarding the names. Could you ask him if it is within his right and feeling right now to give us the names so that we move forward because I can very strongly say that the ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to register my condolences to the people of Nyeri County on behalf of the people of the great County of Kericho. They have gone through an extremely difficult year, politically, given that it is only a few months ago that they laid to rest the late Governor Gachagua. I also pray for the family, especially the student who is sitting for his national examinations, during this extremely difficult time. May God give them the strength and fortitude needed to bear this loss. In his passing on, we are all reminded, ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was following on the earlier ruling; that you were going to allow a few minutes for comments on the Petition. If that be so, can I continue? view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to laud the good thoughts of the Governor for bringing the Petition before this honourable House and raising the various issues and injustices that have been meted on the Talai community. It will benefit this House to know that as Senator for Kericho, I have a good population of members of this community. On various occasions, I have had sittings with them where they have explained to me the kind of injustices that were meted on them, including forcible eviction from the land that is now occupied by the tea multinationals in Kericho ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While debating this matter, there is something that we need to confirm. When we passed the County Disbursement Schedule about three weeks ago, you recall that the Members from the Minority side absconded duty on that day. They never showed up to transact business. Is it in order for them to be the first ones to come and make claims? What they are doing is a akin to a man who stays away when people are in the farm digging; then when they are told that lunch is ready, they are the ... view
