• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, we will not be able to comply with Standing Order No.68 (2) (c), in view of the mood in the House. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard a rumour - I am not allowed to proceed on the strength of it – that quite a number of distinguished Senators are representing this Senate in various aspects outside the country. 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
• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this very important Motion for development. I want to start by thanking the Mover for bringing this Bill, in spite of his age, which I respect. This gives us a moment to give credit to our youth. Here, I am speaking like a father. I really must say shame on he who, in a public function somewhere in the Rift Valley, doubted the ability of Sen. Sang, purely on matters of marital status. I know these things. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: Marriage has got nothing to do with the ability to think or speak clearly and to do what Sen. Sang has done. There are very many polygamists from Kakamega who I know who would not do what he has done. I really congratulate you, Senator. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this particular Bill is going to sit very well with the Governor of Kakamega because two months ago, it occurred to him that it was important that he knows what goes on in all the constituencies. I recall that he hosted all our 12 Members of Parliament and asked them to ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: I do not mind being informed, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Indeed--- view
• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This was the vote of the Department of Health by the county. I continued perusing the document and I found that a whopping Kshs10 million had been budgeted for the purchase of a generator in a sub-district hospital. In our other lives, we have purchased generators for our businesses. I do not think there is a generator in the market worth Kshs10 million. One of the biggest generators that I have in my practice cost me around Kshs500,000. So, when somebody puts this kind of budget line, either he does not know what he ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am so directed. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you were to bring MPs at a sitting with all of us, as stakeholders, then you would not see the kind of blunders that we saw in the National Assembly last week. The Committee on Agriculture, where two MPs from Kakamega County sit, released a statement that they were directing the Kenya Sugar Board to withdraw the operating license for Butali Sugar Company, and our MPs were seated there. So, if we were given a platform like this one, these MPs would know that to attempt to ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairperson for that answer. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that she has referred to 160 projects spread across the whole country in all our counties. I would like to request that since she has attached four annexes; one for 58 projects, 24 projects, 37 and another one for 41 projects, please, indulge me so that I can go and study the answer and also allow Members who have projects in those areas to study it, then I can interrogate her tomorrow. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this particular Statement concerns 164 projects; 26 of them on KeRRA and 138 on KURA. All these are annexed. It is also important because it cuts across the whole nation. Could we be given more time to study it? I beg for deferment. view
