• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also stand to support the Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to start by also thanking the Jubilee Government – our Government. Indeed, we have started on a good slate and I believe that it is because the President is committed to the principle of devolution. But I know also that when you look at the Treasury, we still have those who believe in the central Government. Therefore, we will always have challenges that come in, as much as we would wish to move on the right slate. Madam Temporary Speaker, I concur with, the ... view
• 21 May 2013 in Senate: I will not say that it is Jubilee, but there are those technocrats who think that women have no value in this country, yet we pay tax. Madam Temporary Speaker, indeed, I am pleading with the President that as much as we are pushing for the Kshs238 billion, we have to look at what has been devolved to the counties that will serve the women also in those counties. As we push, I would urge the whole House to interrogate the expenditures of each line Ministry. When you look at some Ministries, you will find that in the next financial ... view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the hon. Senator to propose the Chair and members of the committee without going through the party rules that we have? view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to donate five minutes to Sen. Billow. view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take my time. First of all, I want to thank hon. Senators for their contributions. After 2007, I believe we had some local authorities that were managed by our brothers from the other side. The Minister for Local Government was also from that side. view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: The CORD side. It was ODM which is still CORD. view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Wiper was in the Government at that time but it was not heading the Ministry of Local Government. view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would be wrong to come and tell Kenyans that we have to pay debts without auditing each county council. This House has an obligation to meet the TA and to ask some of these questions. If the Chairman of the TA followed due process, we would have known the debt of each county council. The Government released money to counties. For example, Pokot County received Kshs47 million, but in one week, they had spent everything. It means that other county councils also received the same figures or even more. We have to start thinking how ... view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also stand to support the Motion. The first thing that amazes me is the civil societies who were in the front defending the Constitution and fighting for devolution. Today, they have even gone beyond abusing the same Constitution without respecting the religion of others. When you bring pigs in Parliament and you know very well we have our Muslim brothers, it means you have gone beyond by not respecting those who are represented by them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, we need a Liaison Committee that will allow the Chairmen to move on with the work of the committees. I know that whoever will Chair that Committee will guide the House in the mandate that we have been given by the country. I beg to second. view
