• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise on a point of order on a matter of procedure. The procedure in Parliament is that everything uttered here is put on record in the HANSARD. Are you satisfied that remarks by Sen. Murungi bordering on tribute to hon. Charity Ngilu on how she performed her duty should remain on record given that arising from the number of days she was at that docket, she has since been suspended? She is facing charges of corruption at the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development, including the Karen land saga where four Senators of this House ... view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to register my disappointment with the Government in the way they are driving requisition for statements. Even after three months and the Chair directing last week that the answer be here today, I have only been given a letter to read to the House from the County Secretary of Narok County. I will not waste the time of the House by reading it. He is merely saying that he wants us to allow him to give us an answer within 14 days. I believe that the County Secretary is giving my Committee the go ahead ... view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we have decided to apply the force of law on the Governor of Narok County. Therefore, we are demanding that he brings the written Statement in person to the Committee on the 6th of October which is exactly 14 days that he has requested for. We want him to come in person because we do not want to let this answer follow on that day, for the reason that there are vital documents that we need. These are copies of the bank statements for his county government for the months of February, March and April 2014. We ... view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is very sad because the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet is a Member of the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee. For him to purport and assume that whenever he departs from the meeting, it then registers the end of the meeting is misleading the House. He left the meeting before the meeting ended. The matter on which we found the Office of the Clerk at fault, in terms of writing to a county government on time, was not in respect to Narok County. It was in respect to Kakamega County. I want to insist that if we ... view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we are talking about a serious matter and our country is watching. A sum of Kshs53 million collected in February, March and April has been declared as not collected by the governor. The money is gone. The Senator has approached the Committee to unlock the crisis. So, when a Member of the Committee starts talking like this, the public can be forgiven for thinking that my Committee has been penetrated by the governor. I want to assure the House that we shall get to the bottom of the loss of Kshs53 million in Narok County. view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, have we found the Office of the Clerk in the wrong in terms of communication? Sen. Murkomen, you missed the debate last week. The reason the Clerk gave seven days is because last week we went through an e-mail and the same County Secretary (CS), requested for 14 days. However, the Speaker then indicated that this issue had been around for too long and, therefore, directed that the answer be given today. It was on the force of that that an e-mail was written and this CS then, confirmed that he would be ready today. So, the ... view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am clarifying. He had asked where we are getting the figures of millions that we are mentioning. I am clarifying that this is evidence. His perpetual missing of meetings puts him at a disadvantage for him to make an intellectual and intelligent participation in this particular debate. Do not give the impression that our Committee is not up to the task. You are urged to attend meetings. view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. Allow me to congratulate the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights for the foresight that it has demonstrated by coming up with this Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, cases abound in many counties where the citizenry is held helpless. They want somewhere to go to and somebody to complain to about the many things that they witness on a day to day basis. We have got cases in many counties where members of the public are witnessing employees of the county government becoming overnight village millionaires. They see the ... view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for alerting me. I am very sorry. For all the remarks I have made about Madam Temporary Speaker, I retract and replace them with, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we wonder what special talents the contractors of Asian origin have in Kakamega County that other contractors of different origins lack. This speaks to nothing, but just furtherance of corruption in our counties. view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am so obliged. Following quickly on that important piece of information, I am saddened and I wish to send a clear warning to the Committee on Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) because they have chosen simple projects like construction of a primary school and they have given to Asian contractors in Ikolomani. I was shocked that at Shiveye Primary and 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
