• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Before we went on recess, I had brought to the attention of the Chair of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights - and I am glad to see that he is here - about a pending Statement on the issue of Mumias Sugar Company, sugar cane growing and the sugar cane sector. It has taken too long and this is costing me because the public at home is starting to lose confidence in me because they are not seeing action on Mumias Sugar Company and the sugar sector. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my response was due today. However, as you know, the Chairman and the Committee can only wait to be given an answer using the internal system of how the Senate operates. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we met today at 10.00 a.m. to, among other things, look at the answer before it is read here. However, as at the time we sat, the answer had not come from the line department in Government. I have already explained that to Sen. Ntutu and asked him to be patient until tomorrow when I will tell him whether or not ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it was Speaker Humphrey Slade who said in this Chamber where we are now that the beauty of debate in the House should also be accompanied with flower and humour. We all know that all Chairmen are equal. However, because we needed flower and humour in the House, we wanted to live to the high standard set by none other than Humphrey Slade. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I apologise if I have offended my brother from Mandera. view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to applaud Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., because Article 35 of the Constitution provides that every Kenyan has the right of access to information. All Senators must have the right of access to information as contained in the Makueni Commission Report. Therefore, it is unconstitutional for the Executive to attempt to shield that report from finding its way into this House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 192 of the Constitution provides that the President may suspend a county government during an emergency or in any other any exceptional circumstances. When you read further, sub Article ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before I speak to this Motion allow me to make two remarks, the first one; I want to use this opportunity to pass my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Mzee Ali Wamukoya, the last remaining paramount Chief in my county who died today at the age of 103. He is a Muslim and he is being interred right away. I will not be able to attend and so I take this opportunity to send my condolences. Second, I would like the President to pay our teachers so that the children of the poor ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am sorry; it is Mr. Awiti, the Governor for Homa Bay County who is in the process of constructing an animal feeds factory. It might not be a grandiose thing, but it answers one very sad thing, that omena that is used in animal feeds used to be sold outside Homa Bay so that animal feeds could be fixed, now the local mama and the local fisherman who deals in omena can actually deliver her produce to this factory. In Kisii County, for example, the governor has started an ambitious Kshs250 million small factory for ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to inform the distinguished Senator from Homa Bay that the reason the conference collapsed is because the 37 heads of States who had been invited decided to sent representatives because they did not want to be subjected to the Public Relations (PR) of the Jubilee Government - that the 37 Presidents have come and have made the President to be the number one President of Africa. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had an opportunity on Tuesday to address this issue. Thank God you were in the Chair that day. I confirmed that we shall be ready in a week’s time from Tuesday. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am reminded. I am not able to make any interim report on it. We have been busy the whole of this week with a matter concerning Homa Bay County. So, there was no room in which we could bring in any other witnesses in respect of what we were inquiring from the Ministry. I, therefore, seek for your indulgence. We are proud that we have now finished with Homa Bay, both the Executive and the County Assembly. view
