• 23 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is West Pokot. He is stating on the Floor of this House and he wants it to be part of our record, that our Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) proceed maliciously. Is he in order to impute such bad motives against our MCAs? Could he withdraw and apologize for that very bad remark against the MCAs? If he wants he can substantiate.

• 15 May 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senate Majority Leader is informing us that the national Treasury has failed to cost the national functions, and even the functions of the devolved governments. The counties are waiting for the national Treasury to lead the country in reading the budget of this Government. Is he in order to inform us that, that is the case, and still not go ahead to announce to the country that there will be no budget read? If the budget they intend to read is arbitrary; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is this: Is he in order to refuse to also inform the country that there will be no budget reading forthcoming because the national Treasury, using his own words, is unable to cost? view
• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Why? view
• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand corrected. The point I was trying to make is that it should occur to the Senate Majority Leader that costing of functions is critical if devolution will succeed. We want to know, as the Senate and the National Assembly, how much it costs to run the national government vis-à-vis the devolved governments. Therefore, he should be telling us how soon they will be doing it instead of hiding behind the gist that there is no specific person. You can choose anybody, including the national Treasury. Is he in order to mislead the ... view
• 15 May 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My point of order is on the point of order by Sen. Billow. Whereas he is right, he is out of order to mislead the Republic. This is because the Republic might think that the last audited accounts are the accounts of the other year. He should go ahead and make full disclosure that the last audited accounts are the accounts which my Committee looked at. Your famous National Assembly, with tyranny of numbers, has not been able to audit any accounts. Therefore, those accounts you are using are--- view
• 15 May 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This issue of which accounts are the last audited accounts is very critical because the Constitution speaks to it. It says that the Auditor General, within six months, must table his accounts to Parliament and three months after that, we should have approved them. I am aware – and many of the Senators are aware that, indeed, the Auditor-General has done exactly that. All those accounts are sitting there and no approval is taking place, the fact that the Constitution is being breached notwithstanding. It leaves us with a bitter taste ... view
• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I make my point? He will have his time. You know that I am not fighting you. view
• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with due respect, let me finish. Probably, what you want to inform me about is what I am going to conclude with. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you rightly said that the public is following this debate. It leaves us with a bitter taste in the mouth that, probably, the Executive is deliberately ensuring that accounts are not considered or approved within the timelines specified, so that--- view
