• 20 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Senate Majority Leader that the Anti-Doping Bill (National Assembly Bill No.6 of 2016) be read a Second time. I have only two points. First, I propose that we look at Clause 6, where the headquarters will be in Nairobi. We do not want to find this thing again, where, for example, we the sugar cane farmers find ourselves. We do sugar cane farming and when we want to sort out our issues; we end up coming to Nairobi as the headquarters. I am not saying that athletes are only in certain ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very difficult for one to support the decision of Jubilee. Considering the name of this lady, Dr. Lilian Osamong, it sounds that it could be a competent professional born either in Pokot or Teso. For her to have been lucky enough to get a job through a Government that knows only two tribes, we must support her to stay on that job. She has no other way of getting it. I, therefore, wish to reluctantly persuade the House that when the Committee takes up this matter, they should allow Dr. Lilian Osamong to take the ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Musila Committee found that the governor paid for the land at the rate of Kshs10 million per acre on the strength of the valuation report. Could the Chairman, for purposes of clarity, also confirm that the valuers who gave those fake valuation reports will also be invited so that they are busted and exposed for their connivance in theft of public funds? view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The point of order raised by Sen. Billow is extremely important. It will help the Chairperson of my Committee if he remembers that in the last Parliament, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in its Report found the then Governor of Central Bank of Kenya, Prof. Njuguna Ndung’u, and hon. Kimunya not fit to hold public office. The Cocker Commission that was subsequently appointed by President Kibaki to look into the sale of Grand Regency Hotel agreed and recommended that the two gentlemen were not fit to hold public office. Therefore, nothing will ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last week, the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget wanted to issue a Statement on Thursday in response to a requisition from me concerning the funding of the Council of Governors (CoG). However, it is not on the list. The Chairperson is here and ready with the answer. He has even given me a copy of his response. Could you kindly allow us to hear the response if time allows? view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: On appoint of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You directed that because of the nature of Statement (e), the answer should come today. The Chairperson requested to bring it on Thursday this week, but you directed that he brings the response today. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank the Chairman. This is a very professional answer. On the face of it, it is acceptable. However, as the lawyers say, the devil is in the detail. To this extent, when you scrutinize the contribution by the Council of Governors (CoG) and what the donors have given, I do not think it was in the thinking of the drafters of the Constitution that we create an account like this; that, all of a sudden, you would find Kshs1.3 billion banked into it. When you dissect it, you find the Kshs1.3 billion is ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You can see the level of interest and the seriousness of the issues being raised. We have established a tradition in this House where when matters are weighty as these are, we normally request the Chairperson of the Committee to invite the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the line Ministry to come to the Committee of the Whole. Will I be in order to request that you consider asking the Chairperson to invite the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Devolution and National Planning as well as the Chairman of the CoG, ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to renew a request for a Statement which I asked last Session. This is pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b), to the chairperson of the Standing Committee on the National Security and Foreign Relations relating to the presence of the Kenyan military security forces in Somalia serving under AMISOM. 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
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that indeed Meru Level 5 Hospital is one of the senior hospitals, even before devolution. I want to join Sen. Murungi in condemning the Governor of Meru. What he is doing is actually a crime against not only the people of Meru, but even the surrounding counties that would stand to benefit from this equipment. It should not escape the people of this country that there is a lot of trade unionism within the ranks of the Council of Governors (CoGs). I believe that it is this trade unionism that is forcing my ... view
