• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am glad that various organs in the Constitution have started reviewing our understanding of the Constitution. Now that the Parliamentary Service Commission has made this realization, I urge you, the Rules and Business Committee of this House and the House Business Committee of the “Lower House” to sit down and reconsider whether there is need for us to have fully fledged departmental committees in those Ministries that are fully devolved, for example, the Ministry of Health.

• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Are we not breaking from our tradition? Our tradition is that the statement comes; it provokes Senators on areas that require further clarifications. There are those areas that then force the Chairperson to invite the substantive person to come, clear and clarify in the Committee of the Whole. If you do not do it that way, it means that we will not know what it is that we will be pursuing as issues that require further clarification. It is important that the statement comes before so that when we confront the Chairperson ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, could you indulge me on two points of order? The first one concerns, of course, what you have just explained. It is important that when this explanation comes from the Clerk, who incidentally is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Parliamentary Service Commission, he brings the accounts of this important structure called the Mace. We want to know how much it cost the public to pay for the original one and what informed the Parliamentary Service Commission in moving from the original one to the new one. How much has the new one cost? We ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is now months since I requested for a Statement in respect of the looming collapse of Mumias Sugar Company. In that Statement, I raised the issue of the audit report by the KPMG firm. I indicated that I wanted the Chair of the Committee to explain to the Senate and country what role the previous managers at Mumias Sugar Company played in leading to what has happened. I would like to inform the House that in spite of waiting for all these months, I am now running into legal battles ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the rule of thumb is that Parliament does not speak in vain. You will recall that we moved this House on a similar Motion when there was insecurity in Mpeketoni, Westgate Mall, Mandera “1” and “2”, Bungoma, Wajir, Kapedo and so on. The intention of such a Motion is to call the Jubilee Government to wake up. Could you also rule that a statement comes from the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to explain to this House what action they have taken out of all suggestions that we have been making in our ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My profound and heartfelt condolences to all those members of the families and friends who have lost the 14 Kenyans in Mandera County. Again, I want to condemn this attack. Until and unless we respond to the call of national leadership in this country, then we are lying to ourselves. The problem is corruption. It is because of corruption within the police, in the Cabinet, the Office of the President and everywhere that Kenyans continue to lose their lives the way they are doing. The people of Mandera County, whether they are indigenous Somalis ... view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Budget, billions of shillings has been set aside for marketing brand Kenya as a preferred tourist destination. Could the Chairman explain whether this delayed amalgamation will in any way affect the expenditure of these billions of shillings for marketing Kenya? If the amalgamation is a problem to the marketing, who is controlling and spending those billions of shillings? 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
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did you notice that when Sen. Nabwala had the Floor, she was interrupted justifiably so by Sen. Ndiema? When Sen. Ndiema is on the Floor, she is also doing likewise. Are they in order to drag their 2017 competition for the Senator for Trans Nzoia to the debates of this House? view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I strongly support this Motion by my brother, Sen. Abdirahman, it is a pleasure to know that I am making this contribution when the benches in the Government side are “full”. It shows how serious the Jubilee Government is taking the matters of north eastern region. view
