7 Oct 2015 in Senate:
Okay. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the County Governments Act, it is provided that the official recipient and correspondent on behalf of the County Government is the Cabinet Secretary. Going by that Act, the Committee then decided that whatever the County Secretary said were not his words. He was merely writing or responding to the Senate the position of the County Government of Narok.

7 Oct 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, based on that understanding, we resolved to read because it is on the letter signed and because it is the official correspondence, he is, therefore, giving us the position of the county government. We agreed in the Committee this morning - it has a sitting majority of six - that should the Chair direct otherwise, we shall stand so directed. Finally, the issue of Sen. Mungai is real. Sen. Mungai, we have set a standard now because this thing is very sensitive. People are fighting in counties because of how resources are being abused. So, we ...

7 Oct 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am glad that you have allowed this ventilation. Our decision to have this Statement read was because in that Committee, we are all men and women of this country. What happens in this country - including the remarks by Sen. Njoroge, that why should one little thing drag in this Senate almost for a year? You, Sen. Njoroge and I sit in the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. That, Sen. (Dr.) Machage fears the possibility of compromise; is real.

If you allow me Sen. Musila, this is because it is on a sensitive issue where you can hear in the background, the word “possibility” of people getting compromised. If you do not put everything on the table, people will say that either you are rushing because Sen. Ntutu, who happens not to be a poor man, is pushing you or you are dragging your feet because Gov.

7 Oct 2015 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Thank you for allowing me. The Senator for Laikipia has raised observations remotely suggesting the possibility of compromise. I want to stand before this House and the public to confirm to the country that as far as the interrogation of the Statement by Sen.

7 Oct 2015 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. I want to thank you for that clarity in your directive. I was itching that we must do something on this Floor, like we have done today, lest somebody thinks he could stop me. I am alive to the fact that the Constitution, in Article125, gives me the powers of the High Court in summoning anybody to come before the Committee.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before you move to the next Order, I was directed to receive a written Statement from the county of Narok and issue it today. It is not on the Order Paper but I want to confirm that I have received that Statement. The conditions of that Statement were that over and above receiving it, we should be given an opportunity by the governor, so that we can interrogate him further on the background of the information that was sought.
