• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the question that has been raised regarding ID cards has not been properly answered. The issue being raised here is how you tell a Kenyan who lives or does business in Mwingi or Kitui County applying for an ID card there to go to his ancestral home because that does not make sense.

• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise on Standing Order No.98 (2) that the question be now put on this Adjournment Motion because we are repeating ourselves at the expense of valuable time of this House on a procedural matter. view

That is very clear. I think that is the issue is being raised here. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Statement is not ready. The National Treasury has requested for a week. I want to appeal that we have this Statement next Thursday. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no other reason except that the National Treasury’s argument is that in the last couple of weeks they have been extremely busy with issues of the budget. They have requested for a week. Hopefully, this will be the last extension they will seek. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek the indulgence of Sen. Khaniri. This Statement is not ready. I know it is urgent. However, the El Nino funds are disbursed through very many Ministries. They have to compile the figures. The implementing Ministry is also a different Ministry. They have requested for a week. Therefore, next Thursday, I should be able to give an answer on this. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
