The Chair should wait and if he says so, then you grant the Chairman that request. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you,Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could you also direct the Chairperson to table the posting of posting of specialists to those hospitals that have equipment so that we confirm whether they are operational as units or not?

The same CEO, who yesterday the “Lower House” found that he could not account for Kshs155 million. I do not impute any improper motives on him, but the chairperson could be taking cover because the matter is very hot. The youth of this country want to know how an individual, Bruce Odhiambo, could ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, will the Speaker allow the chairperson to get away with the Statement of those things he is talking about? Sen. (Dr.) Machage was very specific. He never talked about “things”. He talked about loss of funds meant for NYS under Anne Waiguru, loss of funds at Youth Enterprise Development Fund under Anne Waiguru and now possible loss of El Nino funds under Anne Waiguru. Therefore, those are not issues. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view

• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to guide the Chairman that the amendment is on page 49, paragraph 109(f)(iii) on Division of Revenue. The amendment I want to make is by deleting all the words after the word “recommence” on the fourth line and inserting the following words in place thereof:- “THAT, the official average rate of growth of revenue over the last four years of 13 per cent should be used at the minimum to compute the equitable share for the year 2016/2017.” view
• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: On appoint of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before I comment on deferment, I thought you should allow me a moment to respond to a very critical point as the mover. view

• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Distinguished Senators, I think the most important point that requires my response is in this report of our committee.
