• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for reminding me because my colleagues misunderstand me. During our presidency, we will not care which region or ethnic community is in which place. We will simply follow plans and priority. The Trans-African Highways will open the economy of this country, but as far as the Jubilee Government is concerned, economy will be opened if two communities are empowered. That is--- view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I conclude by thanking you very much for provoking me because we are crying in Kakamega. Our Trans-African Highway from Isbania-Migori-Kisumu-Kakamega-Kitale-Lodwar and eventually to Juba will never be prioritised by the Jubilee Government. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought you will congratulate me for mentioning Lodwar! view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: We are protecting our children. We want them to live in peace and compete with other Kenyan children. But since their fathers are afraid and do not want to compete with us, they only want to steal elections from us. We condemn Jubilee. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It has been stated that the Bill has gone through the First Reading but could you clarify if there is any connection between this Bill and a similar Bill which I moved in this House and which was debated, voted on and passed? It was taken to the National Assembly as a message and was never acted on. The National Assembly, on its part, plagiarized the same and came up with a similar Bill, brought here as a message and we have never acted on it. Is there any relationship? view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, there was also the thinking and contribution from the Council of Governors. Now that the Mover has indicated that this was the thinking of Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., could you confirm what the position of the governors was? view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I want to applaud the Committee. This was an area that called for a lot of active participation by the Council of Governors and many Senators. I do not know whether the Committee thought about it, but the amendment, as it is now, sufficiently gives that one body the power to preside over all other smaller entities. In some instances, we have an entity that serves one or two sub-locations and they have been collecting some little money here and there. Are you telling us that the way you have made it, it has given this ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I am sorry for dragging the proceedings. However, for purposes of records, it is important for the Chairperson of the Committee to be clear. Is there a separate provision for sewerage since he is categorically saying that this Bill is deleting Clause 107 which was referring The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, in the Second Reading of the Bill, most of the Senators who contributed had no problem with Clause 107. However, it looks like after the Committee retreated, on further consultations, they were persuaded. This is the time for the reasons that were advanced by the other stakeholders to find their way to the Floor of this House so that you persuade us to agree with the Committee in its agreement with the stakeholders. Is it that those notes are too much? Will it not take less than three or five minutes? view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, when I apply my mind to this Bill further, I am persuaded that Clause 107 should remain. Its effect is that the regulatory board may impose. It does not say, “shall” impose. So, one of the reasons that the Chairman has advanced is that the issue of sewerage is being removed from this Bill but when you look at Clause 106, that is not true. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, if you have the Bill before you, Clause 106 talks about effluent. The moment you go into effluent, you are no longer talking about water; you are ... view
