• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I stand to support the Statement that has been given by Sen. Halake because it is an important one. But, in the meantime, the young men from Migori County have been introduced. Thank you for coming here this afternoon. You have already watched quite a bit for about 10 to 15 minutes of the work that we do here. When you go back, please tell your colleagues what you have seen and the work that we do in the Senate. On Sen. Halake’s Statement, through the Speaker, this is very important. I read through the ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the document might be available but it has not been validated. What we want is validation because if somebody speaks here on behalf of a Cabinet Secretary, it is the Cabinet Secretary speaking through them. I have also agonized about statements not being read when persons who sought them are not there. The issue was raised in the Eleventh Parliament and I am just wondering. Is it not time we thought statements are owned by the House? Statements should be read to Members present. If the person who sought a statement is not there, they can bring ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am shocked that we managed to go through the Eleventh Parliament without this Bill because it is anchored in articles 96 and 188 of the Constitution. There is no jurisdiction in this world that can legislate on counties without having clarity on boundaries. Probably we did that on the basis of the 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
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to join you as well in welcoming this delegation from Uasin Gishu County. In this second round of devolution, we have a lot of experience in terms of what happened last time. I hope that in the county assemblies, we have taken cognizance of some of the factors that were issues within the county assemblies. One of these, specifically, is the issue of the wage bill and aligning human resource capacity in terms of the expectations and the outputs from the specific counties. I am sure, together with the Uasin Gishu ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay the following Report on the Table of the Senate, today, Thursday, 15th June, 2017: view
• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support that we adopt this Report. I am aware that there has been a “to and fro” about the process of selecting EALA Members. We have also been informed that we are time barred. The Mover has made very clear indications that there is a rule that has not been stipulated clearly and that is, the number. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as the Mover said, there is a lacuna in the law because the minimum number has not been stated. The Committee recommended that the rules need to be amended so that the specific numbers can be indicated and be part of the rules. I have also gone through the rules of EALA and they are very elaborate. However, on this specific one, there is no clarity about the minimum number that needs view
• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to second that the Senate adopts the mediation Report and the amended Bill that brings together the agreed negotiations by both the National Assembly and the Senate. We had two meetings. One meeting was held yesterday and the final one today. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We have been able to increase money going to the counties. Our starting point was Kshs299 billion which has been allocated before and an additional of about Kshs5 billion. That gave us about Kshs303 billion. We were then able to negotiate it to Kshs302 billion. This is very important because it allows us to move on and pass as a Bill that is acceptable by both the Senate and the National Assembly. I second. view
