• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to second the Senator for Vihiga. I want it on record that the very reasons the House moved from the Committee of the Whole, to come and report progress to you, were advanced by the Senator for Vihiga which convinced us. The same reasons had earlier been advanced by the Senator for Kakamega and the Chair of the Committee went ahead to expunge my words. Because I respect the Chairperson of the Committee of the Whole, let these words remain in the HANSARD the way I have put it. The true position ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: 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
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I wish to support that amendment because the issue of approval is a serious matter. We should, therefore, not rush the process because, at the end of the day, the county will be stuck for five years with somebody who was not properly interrogated and could fail the functions of the county. I beg to support. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I agree with the Chairman. However, I appeal to him to think hard about the new insertion that requires the candidate to declare his or her place of birth. When you think about it critically, you will find that, that could be abused to this extent. A person might have been born in Kakamega County and that is the only attachment he or she has with Kakamega. He or she may end up being a resident of Uasin Gishu. When he or she is being vetted and a particular position is to be reserved for the ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg that we do it the easier way. Allow me the leeway of a few minutes to convince the Chairman to move it so that I do not go through the procedures of giving notice and writing to you. Since he will be moving it himself, that way will be faster. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. With all due respect we might be killing a good tradition. The tradition has been that when the House reports progress to the Speaker, he is assumed not to have been in the House and that is why progress is being reported to him. The old tradition where the Speaker would come from the Speaker’s Office to the Chair and receive progress seems to be changing. It is being replaced with the Speaker coming from the Plenary to receive progress. This might not be a very nice practice. I want to ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with you entirely, but if we were to respect that principle, which to me is important, then just before progress is reported and after participating in debate, the delegate would then retreat to the Speaker’s room because he is a Member of the Speaker’s Panel. For your information, when you come to take the Chair, the clerk is supposed to alert the House that the Temporary Speaker is now coming. That is the rule. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a few weeks ago the Senator for Narok, Sen. Ole Ntutu sought a Statement which was referred to the Committee of County Public Accounts and Investments and he wanted a report on the projects listed, their status in respect of when the projects were launched, who were the contractors, the cost of each project and how much has been paid to them, what is the balance and the balance to date, what is the current status of each of the above projects and the expected completion date of the projects. Allow me to answer the first ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I find nothing offensive from all that the Senators have raised through the points of order and my Committee is perfectly capable of handling those points of order. Starting with “Sen. PC”--- view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, many times Sen. Musila calls me “doctor” and I call him “PC”. It is true that I am reading the raw Statement as submitted to the Committee by the Cabinet Secretary. I was aware of the bottle-neck that has since been unraveled by Sen. Madzayo. That is why I said the Senator got it right, but with your permission, I would like to read the Report. Yes, indeed, we subjected this report to the Committee Sitting this morning and it was our decision as a Committee that this matter of Narok County is going round. It ... view
