• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Statement from Sen. Orengo. It comes under Standing Order No.46(a) which is a Personal Statement on something which is very touching. It touches on the livelihood of the people who rely on fish. That is the only place they can get their livelihood but they are not able to. It is an issue that has been there probably for almost over 10 years and has not been adequately addressed. It seems to be an issue that the two countries cannot just put to rest, one way or the other. If it ... view

Were for bringing it.The basis of this Bill is hinged on the County The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Senator to keep demeaning the position of women whenever they are given any position? We have heard this and we are fed up with it. We will not sit here and hear people talking about women and appointing girlfriends. Let us talk about boyfriends too if there is such a thing. Let us talk about professionals. Let us talk about the work that women put in the political parties. Let us not be embarrassed because we are in positions and we are going to ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also stand to contribute and support this Bill because the matter of pension has become a critical issue in this country. I know for sure that when we were in the Committee of Education and members of the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) came before the Committee, they gave us insights about monies that have been collected for pension but are not remitted to the pensioners’ fund. There are problems in other sectors as well, but the notion of somebody working so hard, for so long and then finding themselves in a situation ... view
• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me start by congratulating the people of Kericho and Bomet for bringing this Petition.

• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, was Sen. Sakaja in order to raise that point of order when another speaker is on the Floor of the House? He should have raised it when Sen. (Dr.) Langat was speaking rather than interrupt me and make me lose my thread of thought. I was going to raise a very important point on Social Corporate Responsibility (SCR) by the organisations. As Sen. (Dr.) Langat has said, many organisations sugarcoat the whole issue of SCR and make it appear that they are doing a lot. It is important to unearth by going deeper and making sure that ... view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. The 11th and 12th Parliaments found themselves in a Presidential system and that has created problems. As you have said, had it been the Cabinet Secretary (CS) answering the questions, they would know the intricacies of the issues and even answer ad hoc questions. It has been clumsy and unfortunate when Members or Chairpersons have to answer questions on behalf of the CS’s. They sometimes even answer questions on behalf of the CS from the opposite side. We definitely have a problem. In the 11th Parliament we tried to solve this many times by having ... view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the noting of this Report and thank the delegation. This was a comprehensive delegation that went out, not only as participants, but also to find out what we would reap from this whole process. They looked at some of the issues that were key for Kenya and articulated them. Consequently, they have brought them to the Floor of the House for debate, noting and to help us improve. It is from such reports that we can also improve our inputs in the various Committees that we serve. view

• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to support this Motion right from the outset and congratulate Sen. Were. She should expeditiously give the right amendments to this. As a Motion, it is a tester and from what we have heard, this is one of the services that really needs to be devolved to the counties. When you go to Itsimba Village, where I come from, and mention the Ombudsman Office, they will first of all ask you what the Ombudsman is and what he or she does. I am sure that will also happen in Turkana and deep in Kericho as ... view
