• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the hon. Senator that this is not an assumption. There is a report published by the TA on the assessment of the readiness of the status of the county governments. It is in those reports that they actually itemize the readiness with respect to every aspect of a county, including their treasury, training, accounting systems and so on. view

• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am surprised the hon. Senator is not informed in this regard. But I want to inform him that as soon as his county government gets its team on board, the people from the TA are supposed to be sent back to the TA. Unless the county is absorbing some of them through normal appointment and confirmation by the county board, they must be send back to TA.

Since tomorrow we will be voting from 3.00 p.m. and we want to maximize on the time, would I kindly request that before we move to the next Order, you give me a few minutes just to reply, so that, that aspect of it is finished. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Vice-Chair for that response. If you heard the response, she says that the amount of money that the bidder bid for the project was 106 per cent above the budget. Actually, it means the budget was about US$100 million and the person bid about US$106 million. We have also heard that the tender for the laptops was equally cancelled because it was off budget by almost another Kshs20 million. What I want a clarification on is: What work has really gone into designing that proposal in terms of specs? When you design ... view
• 24 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is clear, under the current Constitution, that there is no provision for oral questions and answers in the House. What is provided for is that a Member can seek a statement and when a Chairperson is required to submit a statement, it is my understanding, that the statement from the Cabinet Secretary is what is read. I think the clarifications that Senators would seek would merely be in the context of what has been presented in the statement. If we go back to the oral questions and answers of the parliamentary ... view
• 24 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue I raised was not just that the budget was high. The budget was US$100 million. However, the lowest bidder was 106 per cent above the budget. Why was the planning and design of the projects done in a way that they were marked with over 100 per cent? Those are the issues I raised. view
