• 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
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, can we allow the Chairman to explain more because I can see the Chair is dropping critical provisions. In Clause 115, you are dropping amongst others sub-clause (b) which states:- “the monies of the funds shall consist of monies provided to the fund from the Equalisation Fund.” Since the money from the Equalisation Fund is constitutional, are you dropping in anticipation of its unavailability or what do you imply? Paragraph (c) states- “(c) any money provided to the fund by a county government” We expect the county government in its Appropriation Bill each year to consider giving ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to report progress; that the Committee of the whole has considered The Water Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 7 of 2014) and seeks leave to sit again tomorrow. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thought the Senator for Vihiga was actually helping the Chair. He is drawing to your attention that the House might be proceeding contrary to the sub judice rule. It is up to you to challenge the Member to indicate whether the matter is actively before court or not. That is why you are the Speaker, to either give the microphone or deny. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, described at the very best, Sen. Kittony has nothing against me. Could you give her an opportunity to substantiate her allegations that we have been compromised? We have had many opportunities in our lives to be compromised, but we have refused. Could she substantiate? If she is unable, could she withdraw and apologise? view
