• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the amendment of the Motion. When we were reading the original Motion, we realized that we were telling the same person to do the plan and to also put in place measures to ensure that it can be done. But now with the amendments, I believe the Senate now has the right to follow up and ensure that each county gives a report. This will also help the Controller of Budget ensure that as she looks at the financial bit, she is also able to ensure that whatever they have proposed ... view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion hoping that today, as the Senate, we will all be in agreement because we were not part of Party of National Unity (PNU) or Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). We must look at these issues while considering the country. We come here and swear by the Bible that we will say the truth but I think Kenyans wonder about our political leaders because most of them here were Ministers and most benefitted from the 2007/2008 post-election violence. They benefitted after the National Accord because some of them became Ministers--- view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we talk of benefits, Kenyans remember the negotiation of the National Accord at the Serena Hotel. Today, we have made it so political that we are forgetting that at that time, we did not have CORD and JUBILEE. Some of them today, as we speak, the Deputy President is in The Hague, because he was the lieutenant of ODM. He is the one who made the Prime Minister to be the Prime Minister. Let us first appreciate that before you vilify. view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg for your protection, I think I am right as I say that. Even today the video that showed--- 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 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think history is very bitter but I agree. When you look at the cases today, the most important thing that we need to ask ourselves as Kenyans is whether the process has been fair especially in the Office of the Prosecutor. It would be wrong for us to say that the judges have not been fair. Indeed they have been fair to Kenya but the Office of the Prosecutor has made the process more difficult for the country because most of the time the office uses the media to communicate to the country and even to ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate my colleague, I would want her to follow the rules of Standing Order No.81. Can she kindly refer to her document, but not to read the document to us? view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also stand to support this Motion by my colleague. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I believe that we have the Senate because Kenyans looked at what has happened in the past and thought that if we got devolution, we will have change. Therefore, when we talk about the health sector in this country, we know that it is one of the sectors, indeed, where conditions are dilapidated. You cannot understand the attitude of not only the doctors, nurses and clinical officers, but also the Kenyans who walk into those hospitals. Therefore, the issue of attitude in this country should start with all of us. One of the things that we need ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: or she will have to stay in the queue even for six hours waiting. If it is a woman who has gone to deliver and she left home bleeding, she will continue bleeding until she dies before seeing a doctor, yet she ran to the hospital knowing very well that she would get help. That is why even today our women have decided that they are better of using the traditional birth attendants, because they are kind and can help. Madam Temporary Speaker, with reference to this Motion, now that we have county governments, are we willing to institutionalize the ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2013 and its approval thereof with amendments. view
