• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was saying that it is important that this adjudication be done for all the land. It is going to be an extensive exercise. The National Land Commission (NLC) will have to look into the different pieces of land and come up with the clear categories of the same land. The county councils that held the land in trust can give the responsibility to the national Government and the county governments. Looking through the whole issue of unregistered community land gives us a sense of the problems that have come about. For example, in the former Coast ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the dynamism of this meeting was that for the first time we would have the two Cabinet Secretaries at the same time. We wanted to cross check information between the two so that where there is a gap, for instance, in education matters; we see how infiltration and interception can come from security matters and vice versa. Unfortunately, we could not do this. Going by the suggestion by Sen. Kagwe, when the report is tabled, we can find out whether the intercession has been addressed. If it is not, then we may need to get into another ... view
• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the amendment. The gist of that amendment has been made very clear by the previous speaker, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, who has put in the value of the names of the two Senators that he has proposed to be added to this Committee that is being put in place to make the necessary investigations. The two names he had put forward are Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo and Sen. Obure. He has indicated clearly that they already have a lot of experience and done preliminary work in looking at the needs of the various counties ... view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to suggest that for him to establish your gender that you might need to be one of those people who will be in that rally so that he can confirm anything? view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Sang for this important Bill that tackles culture and heritage which is very critical in our country. This is an area which has been ignored especially when we compare with the western countries where independence days are marked as national holidays. Towns are full of statutes and history about histories right from the pre-civilization time. It is really quite an honour for their families. This Bill intends to do that for us in a devolved system which is critical for us because the basis of values and morals can go to the ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want to seek a clarification about the seven day window that is given for visa application. A delegation that had Members from the Senate was denied visas and missed a very important meeting in South Africa, where they were even scheduled to make a contribution. The reason that was given was that there has to be a seven day window. Even after the seven days when there was still a chance to travel, we were denied the visas. view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: It is not so much about not being given the visas but the level of communication and the way the matter was handled in a way that was very demeaning especially for the Members. We were shocked that even after applying for the visas, we were denied. I wonder whether we are more courteous when it comes to us giving visas to South Africans and how we need to go about it. We need to open up and that clarification needs to be made clear. We need to open very clear lines of communication between this country and South Africa ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I listen to the answer, it sounded like a blame game. WARMA is blaming the Ministry and the Ministry is blaming WARMA. Everybody is saying that they should not have done this or that. My specific issue is on the Statement from the Ministry that monitors the disposal. What sort of monitoring do they do if the disposal is at that high level? If they were monitoring in the view
• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to say that it is also good, even if the Members are not in the House, that once the Statements are ready from the Committees, even as they say it, it is a way of reporting to the House that those Statements are ready and they cannot give them because the Members are not there? It is then recorded that the Committee has actually completed the investigations. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I continue to move the County Early Childhood Education Bill, (Senate Bill No.32 of 2014); that it be read a Second time. Yesterday, at the rise of the House, I was talking about the issue of the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) going to exercise the disciplinary and professional control over the teachers. This is very important. In the last few months, we have had very disturbing experiences in schools where teachers have abused children, especially the girl-child. We have also had cases that are going further lower into the educational system. You now find ... view
