• 16 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a great breakthrough for the Committee on Finance Commerce and Budget to bring the Budget Policy Statement in advance in comparison with last year when the timelines were a bit delayed. This did not give us a good chance to discuss the Budget Policy Statement in terms of giving a concrete way forward. This time we have that chance. The fact that the Budget Policy Statement has been referred to the standing committees, I request that we expedite this process. We should look through this document as early as possible so that we can see ... view

• 16 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the provisions that is so clear and we do not have any problem with, is the interpretation of Article 110(3) of the Constitution. It states clearly that the moment a Bill is presented; the two Speakers must sit together and decide. There are logistics about how that can be done. One that can be applied very easily is to have a document emanating, for example, from the Senate, you sign it, that this is a Bill concerning counties, take it to our counterparts at the National Assembly expecting him to sign it. If he does ... view

• 11 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sang has been on that Chair several times representing the Speaker. Therefore, he has already exhibited his capability to be a Member of the Chairperson’s Panel. He has also exhibited his dedication in this House by bringing some of the Bills that have propagated and pushed the Senate to a new level. He is committed and has already demonstrated his ability. He will do well. With those remarks, I support this Motion. view

The whole exercise of allocating Senators to the various Committees has been an interesting lesson on the advantages of continuity and change. From the logic that has been used in allocating Senators to the various Committees, certain things stand out. Initially, Senators were nominated to committees out of their choice, experience and professional background. They felt that they would contribute best in those committees.
