• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my apologies on that. That is a very important matter and it has been raised several times in this House. It is a pity that it has not been addressed up to now.

We will appreciate if you give us until next week. view

• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am ready to issue the statement. I am sure that the hon. Senator is ready to listen because he is a good listener. The statement that was sought by the Senator for Nyeri, Sen. Kagwe, is on the stability of small banks and the alarming interest rates.

• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was a request for a Statement on revenue collection from Samburu National Game Reserve (SNGR) by the Senator for Samburu County.

• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not say “he writes”. I said our Committee will write to the Controller of Budget and ask her to provide us with the amount of revenue collected by the County Government of Samburu.

• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, given the importance and significance of the Statement that is being sought in the current political situation we are in, I will need not less than two weeks to provide that information. I seek the indulgence of the Member to give us two weeks to provide that information. view
