• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for the indulgence. The Statement that has just been made by the Senate Majority Leader brings to light something that is starting to disturb me. The business that goes on in the RBC, how much do you try to pursue the various submissions that Members of this Senate have made? I have made submissions for three Bills; we have the Bill on the Flags and Emblems which has gone through the First Reading, but we are yet to hear when it will go through the Second Reading. I have ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I want to thank the Senate Leader of the Majority who is my junior in age and experience in legislative matters--- view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is relevant to this extent; that in the Tenth Parliament, the House Business Committee (HBC) was a preserve of the Executive. But with benefit of hindsight, we then amended the standing orders so that Members of the Opposition would have representation on the HBC, which has become in this particular Senate, the RBC. The reason was that Members of that Committee from the Executive were only fast-tracking Government Business and ignoring private Members’ Business. So, the reason we have Members of the Opposition on this Committee today, with all due respect to the Senate ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, my sympathies to the people of Mandera and Wajir counties who went through this last night. But could the Chairman also further come with an answer that will confirm whether the National Intelligence Service (NIS) gave them prior intelligence on the--- view

• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With due respect and, please, for your indulgence, I was requesting in advance that he comes with more information on this very critical issue because it is already in the public domain that even at the Westgate, the NIS had already given intelligence. So, we want to be sure that in the instance of Wajir and Mandera incidents, the NIS had given intelligence and the police, once again, slept on the job. They did not take action. He should come up with that information because it is important. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Government for continuing this programme that was started by the Government of President Kibaki. The Chairman has told us that this programme has been rolled out to all the 290 constituencies. I am appalled because in Kakamega County, this programme does not exist in Nabakholo Consituency, Mumias West Constituency, Ileho Division of Shinyalu Constituency, Idakho North of Ikolomani Constituency and so on and so forth. Could we give the Chairman time to come and lay on the table of the House the exact detailed list of beneficiaries, constituency by constituency, so ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to support this Motion and register only one small concern. The Chairman of the Committee could have helped us by analysing these figures a little bit. When you look at each respective county, you do not see why a county is given a particular amount in a particular month. At the very best, when you look at it, this seems to be done arbitrarily. I will give you an example of my own county of Kakamega. We are being told that for the month of August, Kakamega received Kshs553 million which is ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was in when the Chairman was eloquently explaining this point. However, my concern is the issue of corruption. The Government does not collect money, keep it in an account and then spend it. The Government spends as it collects. So, where is this assumption that in the month of October, the Government will collect so much money coming from? These assumptions are the ones that have left opaque areas in our financial management of our The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
