• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just as a reminder, I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that, also, you had asked the same National Assembly to give you names of people who would join the names you had proposed so that we could vet and iron out the suitability or otherwise of the Bill on flags, emblems and titles. We have been waiting and that Bill is still pending. Of course, that communication has not come. We do not know who to sit and discuss with. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Yes, indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is why I want to express my happiness. But my concern is that under what Standing Orders is the respective Committee attempting to harmonize the two Bills? My understanding would have been that if we are starting with my Bill, then my Bill will be discussed in this House, and when it will go to the Lower House, then our Bill will be informed by amendments that we will put into the consideration of the other Bill that had originated from the Lower House. Could you shed light on that, because we are a ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to use this opportunity to, first and foremost, congratulate the two Senators who have joined us this afternoon, Sen. Godliver Omondi and Sen. Njoroge. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since the law is an ass, let me also use this opportunity to pay tribute to our two Senators, Linet Nyakeriga and Harold Kipchumba, who left us. In fact, it should not be lost to this House that before Sen. Kipchumba left us, he had already interrogated this problem. In fact, he had some matter before the Office of the Speaker, wanting that we pre-empt this ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: hands were held because this is a matter in hands of the SRC. Surely, when I remember the work that we have done with the Deputy President, at least, as far as this Constitution is concerned, I wonder what changes when people go into office. It is not nice. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are not going to subject MCAs to the kind of disrespect that we show them today. It is true, as Sen. Kajwang has said, that members of the county executive earn very little. But when you compare that “little” with what the MCAs earn, then you ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: is supposed to discharge itself in a manner that will attract the best skills into the county governments for purposes of success. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was in Kisii. I met two of my collegemates at the University of Nairobi who are advocates and now are in the county assembly. They know that we are speaking to the issue right now. In the County Assembly of Kakamega, the majority leader is a pharmacist. He is my agemate, circumcision mate and we went to school together. They know that we are speaking to these things. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in Senate: It is true there is a road in Mandera County, but my time is up. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, probably, the distinguished Senator who comes from Murang’a County did not listen to me when I was raising this issue. I was saying that these projects have stalled and some of the roads are not motorable. The loans of local contractors are being recalled. So, if we give this issue a month--- view
• 10 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am sorry that when the Chairman started issuing the statement, I was out doing a Press conference on a matter of grave national importance. However, I have listened to the latter part of his presentation, which unfortunately, to me, looks like an extraction from a thesis paper. What we are 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
• 8 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I recall that both at the initial stage of the Motion and also during the amendment, virtually all of us spoke and it is like we are exhausted. So, may I request that the Mover be called upon to respond? view
• 8 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank you and congratulate my senior, Sen. Haji, for bringing this Motion. I want to spend the next few minutes trying to persuade the Senators who are here today that out of factual research that I have done on this Motion, there is need for us to appreciate that this problem is really big and that it is above us and that we cannot solve it through this kind of Motion. I want you to bear with me as I roll out the facts. Madam Temporary Speaker, the first one is that I want ... view
