• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand pursuant to Standing Order No.33 to move:- THAT the Senate resolves to extend its sitting time until the conclusion of business in Order Nos. 13 and 15 on today’s Supplementary Order Paper. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also support the Report of the Mediation Committee and thank the team. We know that it has been a learning process for the past three years. I believe that the National Assembly understands why the drafters of the Constitution felt that mediation would be part of our process where you bond and learn from each other. In the mediation team, you will realise that everyone reasons the same. You will wonder why conflicts arise when we are in our respective Houses. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having said that, I also thank hon. Kajuju, Sen. Murungi, ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I meant that we should do what the drafters of the Constitution appreciated, that the legislative arm of Government will legislate without implementation as an executive role. I think they clearly defined what we are supposed to do. It is only that we have refused to go by that because we are the ones who amend and prepare laws. All I am saying is, when you look at how Members have just debated the Fund, you feel that it is time, as a legislative arm, to come out and eal with our legislative agenda. I support. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate the lady who has been appointed because she is a woman of substance from a minority community which has been marginalized for the last 50 years. Very few women have been beneficiaries of such appointments in the past from that community. We all know that the Jubilee Government is serious on the issue of affirmative action. Therefore, it is so unfair for us to bring 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
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House had a clear recommendation that after the Report was tabled we would relook at the issues that were raised in three months. We debated this issue and even condemned some of the Committee’s recommendations. It would be proper if we finalize so that the House keeps its word. People will appreciate if we finalize the Report of the County of Murang’a. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very important to understand the expenditures. We need to interrogate office rent, for instance. In 2013/2014 they spent Kshs41 million. What happened in 2014/2015? They went overboard to spend a whooping Kshs134 million. They spent this on office rent in Nairobi yet we passed a Motion the other day that we have county governments that do not have offices in their counties. We are looking for money to build those offices. This is double expenditure considering that they also have offices in Nairobi. We need to curb this. In addition, there is expenditure on ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard the Chairman say that very soon, a serious housing project will come up. I would like him to clarify to the residents of Nairobi whether this is the same programme we know is about to start. He should also inform us where the people who will be affected will be taken to. Will they be taken to safe places where they will wait for these houses to be built or we will just move people and then in the end, since it is a PPP programme, they will never come back to those houses and ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank the Senator for Kakamega County and he proved that anyone can be in Kakamega at any time and you will be able to have a meeting. What we now want the Government to do is to ensure that those who were caught are investigated and justice must be done. We had one person who passed on courtesy of the hooliganism. When you ask who brought the teargas; it is obvious that governors in this country are able to do anything. They are “small presidents” in every county and they have ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Bw. Spika wa Muda, nafikiri mwenzangu alikuwa anamaanisha waathiriwa waliopata hasara kutokana na ghasia za uchaguzi. Hata hivyo, watu hao waliathiriwa kwa sababu za kisiasa. view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is my friend, the Senator for Machakos, in order to say that the President would have told the Speaker to let the Members demonstrate yet he knows very well that with our new constitutional dispensation, he is a visitor? He can only come and give us an address and leave. He is not even allowed to interrogate his Address. There is no provision in the Standing Orders that allows him to intervene. view
