• 16 Nov 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I concur with you but I was just worried that we are bloating this council with the national Government. I have indicated the areas but this is subject to debate. I am just provoking the thinking of the Mover. What you have said is debatable. I would agree with you if that was the best way to go. Corruption at the national Government is just as unacceptable as corruption at the county government. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, were the Mover of the Motion to concur with me, then I would be moving that Clause 4 ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. That is true to the best of intentions. However, if you ask Sen. Omondi and I, who come from the sugar industry, we can confirm to you that with the best of intentions, the miller sends his tractors to collect cane, and it is harvested with the best of intentions. However, when it reaches the weigh bridge, the tonnage that is then announced, the poor farmer who in some instances might be illiterate, is completely shortchanged. Do not forget that some of these farmers might not be as highly educated. Therefore, when he is given ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Based on past experiences with some of these institutions, it is very clear that their intention is to lobby us to assist them to get more funding. Be that as it may, I want to request that you write to them and tell them that they should come and explain to us the status of the important matter of handing over and taking over of the assets and liabilities from the defunct local authorities to the county governments. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is now four years since we embraced devolution and the ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The matter that has been raised by distinguished Sen. Beatrice Elachi is extremely important. Two governors, Gov. Akaranga from Vihiga County and Gov. Oparanya from Kakamega County, have set the notorious record of being the only governors who have defied this Senate. Luckily for us, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) was able to address us, as the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC). He told us that the Senate has the power to order for arrest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, without delaying the process further, could you order from the Chair ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to seek a small clarification. We asked for information but instead of him giving us the information, he told us that the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. As you will notice, the Chairman continues today to downplay the significance of my question. Whereas you are right to talk about the design, tendering and so on, the gist of my question was Ksh44.5 billion could very well be better used if we harvested the rain water. You know the amount of rain water that runs from rooftops in Nairobi is too much. We would like The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Bw. Spika, kwa hoja ya nidhamu: Imekuwaje leo unamuuliza Sen. Boy Juma Boy awajibike kwa matamshi yake kwa jambo ambalo limekuwa limepitwa na wakati. Hili ni jambo kulingana na mpangilio wa Kanuni za Bunge leo ilistahili kwamba Seneta Mwenyikiti asimame kwa hoja ya nidhamu wakati ule ule. Imekuwa aje umependua taratibu ya kufanya shughuli katika Bunge hili? view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to thank the Senate Majority Leader for the Statement he has issued. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, despite my appreciating the Senate Majority Leader, I am amazed. In fact, there are many Kenyans that I am joining who are shocked that it is over 48 hours since Mr. Donald Trump became President-elect. America plays a key role both in the bilateral relationship and development agenda, including the security of this country. Has it not occurred to the Senate Majority Leader that he should lead this House in formally acknowledging the win by Mr. Donald Trump? Further, compounded by the fact that the country is not aware of any signed statement by the President to ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am guided from your directions. I was just concluding by congratulating Mr. Donald Trump for winning this historic election. I also want to congratulate Hillary Clinton for the big fight that she put up. I want to use this opportunity to sound a soft warning to the media of the world, including the Kenyan media and the pollsters that they have to remain within the ambit of their mandate. The media is not expected to create news; it is expected to report in events that become news. Yesterday, even before the election was over ... view
