• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I also stand to support that Statement and to acknowledge the existence of Kofi Annan, a man who is not only associated with Kenya and its success, but the world over. His Excellency Kofi Annan was a member of the Ford Foundation and as a result of a Scholarship that he received and the fact that he came back to his community and made changes to it, an award system called the International Fellowships Program (IFP) was introduced that has educated almost 200 students across the world up to now. This would ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Dullo for bringing one of the most important Statements I have heard in this House. This really clearly contextualizes the role that the Senate has to play and its constitutional mandate. I re-emphasis that the oversight that is made for and to the governor and the county is a constitutional responsibility of the Senate. Nobody can run away from that. What we have not been able to have properly are the structures to do this. I urge especially the Committee on Devolved Government and Intergovernmental Relations and the Committee on Health to ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I stand to support this very important Energy Bill, which is very concise and large. Madam Temporary Speaker, for a long time, most of the provisions that have been discussed in this Bill have probably been in separate Bills. However, this particular Bill seeks to consolidate all the various parts so that everything comes together. It consolidates the laws relating to energy so as to provide for national and county government functions; and to provide for the establishment of powers and functions of all those in the energy sector. Madam Temporary Speaker, ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move the Motion:- THAT, Pursuant to Standing Order No.246, the Report of the Procedure and Rules Committee on Amendments to the Senate Standing Orders, laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 7th August, 2018, be approved. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is the second report of the Procedures and Rules Committee which was based on the review of the Senate Standing Orders. This was done after specific interests, procedures and things happened within the Senate to do with Statements. Many issues were raised at that time, for example, the growing number of Statements ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. That provision once again gives the specificities about the format of that paper. It proposes that the Statements should not be excessively long and should not convey a particular view. All those details are there. We then have 46(e) which is Statements by the Chairperson of the Committee. Here, the Chairperson of a Committee is expected to give a Statement on the Floor of the House about the work of that Committee at least once every three months. He will inform the House of the number of Motions and Bills that have been ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: I think that the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader want to pay--- 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 Aug 2018 in Senate: The Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader may want to pay attention to this one for it is stated that they may have their time to make various Statements and various presentations to the Floor of the House. Lastly, Standing Order No. 47 handles the Personal Statements that are already part and parcel of this. The Committee makes two specific recommendations. It recommends;- “THAT, the Senate approves the proposed amendments to the Standing Orders of the Senate. THAT, pursuant to the provisions of the Standing Order No.251, the Senate resolves that the proposed amendments to the Standing Orders ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. We have done well before we go on recess. This Senate has seen very many Bills coming back, some of which were from the Eleventh Parliament. They were not progressed to a point of becoming Acts. So, we are pursuing them, as the Senate, because they are very important to the counties, even as we forge better relationships with them. As provided for under Article 110(3) of the Constitution, we will also ensure that the Bills that are before Parliament are quickly placed in the relevant House either in ... view

• 8 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming the students from Makini School, which is a brand name in Kenya. It is well known because of performance. They have had a good reputation over the years, proved to be a school that delivers excellence and work very hard. I know this because my daughter, many years ago - she is now 26 years - went to Makini School. view
