• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is very rare for the Jubilee Government leadership to come up with innovative ideas in this House. Due to this distinction today; that the Leader of the Majority has been very innovative, I wish to second his proposal Whole heartedly and congratulate him for the rare moment. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to start by drawing your attention to the Speaker’s Gallery. It is empty. You should issue a reprimand to the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). When we are discussing this Bill, they are supposed to sit there. That is the tradition of Parliament. When such a Bill on the budget is being discussed in the National Assembly, the National Treasury is ably represented by senior officers so that they can take into account some of the views hon. Senators are making for purposes of perfecting the Bill in the next financial year. Mr. ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Murkomen is perfectly in order. When this matter came to my attention, I pursued it further; let me not go into details. I was persuaded and concurred that under Article 218 (1), in a period of at least two months before the end of each financial year, there shall be introduced in Parliament a Division of Revenue Bill. We needed to do first reading before 30th April. We did the First Reading and are now in the Second Reading. However, the law does not stop us from amending the Bill once it is adopted into ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, may I attempt to respond to Sen. Murkomen and Sen. M. Kajwang in detail. I would like to invite Sen. Murkomen to look sat Article 217. He has ably read Article 217(1). However, he should look at Article 217 (8), which reads:- “The Senate may by a resolution supported by at least two-thirds of its Members amend a resolution at any time after it has been approved.” Therefore, we shall make an entry under Article 217 (8), hoping that we will raise two- thirds majority. However, you can make further directions later on. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: So guided. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was speaking to the people of Kakamega. I told them that the rot in the health sector is not acceptable at all in Kakamega, especially the former Provincial General Hospital (PGH) which is now Kakamega Level 5 Hospital. The national Government has given, as it did in the last and previous financial years, Kshs406,936,416 specifically to make the former Kakamega PGH work. Kakamega PGH never used to receive hundreds of millions of shillings at the time I was in the Ministry of Health (MoH) in 1990. We never used to receive money. I ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I therefore want to tell the people of Kakamega that after adding equitable share to conditional grants, they will receive Kshs10, 518, 265,490. With all that money, why should we not develop Kakamega? Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, in spite of your good advice to me, some of us want to retreat back to the county, so that the Kshs10 billion can count. We cannot just continue crying every day that the money is not being seen by way of projects when we are in a position to remove the governors. I urge the Senator for Nandi who ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you. I support. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Now that you are contemplating the possibilities of sanctions tomorrow, could you also reserve commendation and recognition for the performance by Sen. Ndiema and Sen. Obure from the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) side who have saved the day? view

• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In respect of the First Reading of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, as you are aware, according to Articles 217 and 218 of the Constitution, we met the provisions of Article 217(1) when a few weeks ago we passed the second generation formula. I am concerned that the Bill that we are reading now is not factoring in the second generation formula. It is based on the first generation formula. This being the case, I would like to clarify that in view of the provisions of Article 218(1), which gives a ... view
