• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to appreciate the Chair for that comprehensive answer. We have also discussed it further within the Committee and we have gone through the report. So, I am satisfied with that response. Thank you. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. A clear clarification needs to be done here. What Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo asked is important. However, it is not what I asked for. He needs to come up with his own Statement about the change from 8-4-4 to another system. It is a discussion that started long after this statement was sought. This statement was about what counties are doing about ensuring that their curriculum reflects devolution. I have been answered the question as I asked. Secondly, the conference is taking place. To me, there was a confirmation yesterday and an ... view

• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, about 90 per cent of the Members currently present in this House are the specially elected Senators and they are making a lot of contributions. I congratulate Sen. Omondi for this important amendment to this Bill. The challenge in the Act is that the counties element has not been taken care of.

In this country, we have neglected the invisible disabilities, for instance, mental disabilities. In many countries, we have ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am looking at Standing Order No.45(3) and I just want to read a section that pre-empts the discussion. It states in part that:- “..on the day on which the statement is proposed to be made, hand to the Speaker a written notification of the matter, but the Speaker may refuse to allow the request unless satisfied that the matter may be properly discussed in the Senate.” That clearly suggests that under Standing Order No.45, there is provision for discussion only that the Speaker has to ensure that it is properly ... view

• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am looking at Standing Order No.45 specifically. There is no debate, but discussion and that is what we are requesting for. view
• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this important Bill by Sen. Obure that addresses the whole issue of setting up a tribunal. It is an amendment to the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) Act. There have been various cases of cheating and the then Cabinet Secretary of Education Prof. Kaimenyi gave figures. In a report on the results of 2015, he alluded that 2,975 cases of cheating had been noticed. Prior to that, in 2013, 3,012 cases of cheating had been reported. The Senators who spoke before me talked about the worry that is consuming this country in ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. We need to think through this very carefully so that we can know whether we have a budget for this. I do not want to over-indulge and thank you for the one minute. With those few remarks, I support this amendment Bill. view
