• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to associate myself with this Motion. This gentleman inspired many people in the world when he came into office in 2008. However, whether it is due to domestic problems or not, he has ignored his territory of Africa. In 2009, when he went to Egypt and Ghana, he promised to go for true partnership with Africa particularly in terms of trade and investment. When Mr. Bill Clinton was the President, he looked after countries which were his roots like Ireland. He actually spent time to ensure that that country secured peace. I think President ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because of the excitement some of us do not want to wait until the whole list is done, could he, in the meantime, read the 47 counties very quickly so that we know? Even as he tables we get to hear what exactly is happening? Otherwise, let us then do what he suggested; we make photocopies while we handle the other Statements. Probably, while doing so, we would have got all the lists. view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware. No question or request of statement in that regard has been forwarded to the attention of my Committee. view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are two statements on the Order Paper that the Speaker ruled yesterday that I should give the answer today whether or not the Member who requested for them is in the House. We have been coming with these answers. They have been on the Order Paper for a couple of weeks and the Member was not in. Yesterday, the Speaker gave a ruling that it should be on the Order Paper and we should give the answers whether he is in or not. view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first statement was a request on Uwezo Fund sought by the Member for Tana River, Sen. Bule. He sought the following;- (a) An explanation on how much money was allocated to the Uwezo Fund in the financial years 2013/2014 and 2014/2014? (b) An explanation on the criteria used to share the money in any county? (c) How much money was received by Tana River County for those to financial years? (d) An explanation on the extent the Fund has benefited the residents of that county? (e) State the beneficiary of the Fund? (f) State a ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just to make things a bit easier for Members, I will read the particular areas which are of general application and, therefore, very useful. There are also a lot of attachments which I have not brought, which the Member can obtain from the Office of Clerk. The first question was how much money was allocated to Uwezo Fund. I have explained that for the two years; the first allocation for 2013/2014 was Kshs6 billion and 2014/2015, Kshs390 million. The total is Kshs6.39 billion. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the request that was sent by the Senate to the Ministry is very specific as listed. Apart from question (a), which is a general explanation of the allocation to the fund and (b) on the criteria, the rest are all specific. There is nothing else that has been forwarded to the Ministry to give a statement on. The bulky documents attached as Annexes are specifically referring to Tana River County and not any other county. The document on Tana River County alone is so bulky that I cannot even carry it. It gives a report of ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: I have the list for Tana River County on all the individuals who benefitted, in the specific projects, but not for the whole country. view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is absolutely impossible to give a response next week. This is because looking at the one for Tana River County alone for one year, 352 groups benefited from Uwezo Fund. If you see what is written here per constituency then classified into youth, women and persons with disabilities and the list of projects, it is very thick. It is not practical that I will get this next week. I urge Members to visit the Uwezo Fund website where you will get the data for your constituencies and counties. You can then ask questions if you ... view
