• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. One of the things that we, as House, need to do is to ensure that three institutions that we have; the Commission on Revenue 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
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. While I respect my Senator, from my county, is he really in order to say that harambees are there because the Jubilee Government has failed and he knows very well that harambees started with the first President of this country? Therefore, is he in order to say that Jubilee Government has failed and that is why harambees are going on, when he know that harambee has been a tradition for Kenyans? view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Kakamega is really out of order to say that until one is elected--- view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is he in order to say that until you are elected to this House is when you can do any social activity in this country? I have carried out so many social activities in this country and I am still doing so. Therefore, I do not find it right for any Kenyan to be told that until you are elected to Parliament is when you deal with social activities. It is out of order completely. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I seek this Statement, I want to thank the three media houses that are coming back on air at 7.00 p.m. today. I want to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Information and Technology regarding the recent stand-off between media houses and the Communication Authority of Kenya. In the Statement, the Chairperson should address the following issues:- (1) Whether the Authority have the capacity to administer and enforce frequencies distribution. (2) How the Authority will avert the immense proliferation of set top boxes by different providers due to lack of control. ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issues we raised are very pertinent. As much as we are trying to say that the county assemblies will work with governors, we may be wrong. Look at how the governors have manipulated this process and they have realised that the courts will always protect them. Looking at Makueni County today, the Executive has resources while the county assembly does not have. County executives have realised that they can do without county assemblies. It is this Senate, therefore, that has to come up with a solution. Even the Council of Governors has not given this Senate ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to thank the whole Committee and all the Members who went through this process of vetting Mr. Boinet. Today is historic in this Senate because this is our first vote in the House – which is a very delicate one – since we started the Senate. It is also a very historic day when we are now looking forward to again getting a new IG, who is coming in when we are facing a lot of challenges in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the things that this country has always ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Senator for Kakamega is also misleading the House. I said it very clearly that if, indeed, we are questioning Mr. Boinet, who was born in 1962, and yet we are saying that we have young people whom we would want to give senior positions in this country like that one of the IG, what questions will we ask? view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Yes; we will ask about their qualifications. But, Mr. Speaker, Sir, this young person will not have the experience we are looking for now. So, it is up to us to say that if a young person comes from the university and has, indeed, the papers; he can sit in a vetting panel and prove that, indeed, he can sit at the helm of the NPS as the Inspector-General, then I believe we can give him the opportunity. There is no place in the Constitution--- view
