• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I thank the Mover for these two amendments. Allowing the Council of Governors (CoGs) to participate in identifying a Member to that board is a very critical inclusion. This is because we now appreciate that governors will continue to play a critical role in the management of these important resources. I also thank him for the addition of Clause 3(a) which, amongst other things, you have now provided sub-clauses that will ensure that he people who are appointed are people of high integrity. This is important because a big number of abusers of forests have been ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the Mover is making a small error. In sub-clause (3), he has only spoken of the “Director- General.” Please, note that the word “Director-General” also appears in sub-clauses (4) and (5). For purposes of record, he should indicate that he is replacing the word “Director-General” in all the clauses and sub-clauses where they appear with “Chief Conservator of Forests”. view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. The good English that we speak does not agree with the justification that the Chairperson is giving. He is suggesting that if we use the word “Chairman”, we shall be insensitive to gender. In the good English that we speak, we know that the word “Chairman” when used in this manner is unisex. Where you think while speaking that it is not clear, then you add to the word “Chairman” the word “Madam.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, this is not a small matter. It is so important that even in the Constitution the drafters went out of their way and wrote that the official language is Kiswahili and English. Therefore, if it is official, then when making that record, you should do it in good English. You and the Senate Minority Leader have confirmed that, in law, the word Chairman is unisex. We are making law. What better place to write the word “Chairman” than this one? Maybe, Chairman of the Committee, we do not have to vote about it. You should consider ... view

• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no problem with waiting for the next 48 hours. However, hon. Members will recall that when this matter came up, there was an uproar in the House because the police officer who shot and killed this bodaboda youth has been transferred and is hidden in another police station called Malaika in Ikolomani. Could he confirm as we wait, that the police officer has since been arrested and that he is no longer on duty in any police station in Kenya, especially Malaika Police Station in Ikolomani? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.40(6) which says as follows:- “When the Speaker reports a message from the National Assembly under paragraph (4) or (5), the Message shall be deemed to have been laid before the Senate and the Speaker may- (a) direct that the message be dealt with forthwith; (b) appoint a day for the consideration of the message; or (c) refer the message to the relevant Committee of the Senate for consideration.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am now confused. Having read out the Message correctly, you have not given force to Standing Order No.40(6) because ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My understanding is that the select Committee is a joint Committee and not a Committee of this House. It is a Committee of the two Houses of Parliament. Could you clear my confusion? I always love learning. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. On that very important Statement, allow me to request some additional information. The Galana Kulalu investment by the Jubilee Government ran into billions of shillings. Could the Chairman tell us how many bags of maize were harvested from that scheme, so that we know whether the produce was enough to cushion the apparent excuse that there is a shortage of maize and that is why the price has gone up? view
