• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also condemn the disappearance of the five children and the two who were found dead. The Cabinet Secretary and the PrincipalSecretary are sleeping on the job. They are very active when it comes to chasing people who are demonstrating about IEBC which is a serious matter affecting our people. However, when it comes to the disappearance of a person, it comes later, long after the person is found dead. I am afraid that the three children might also have been killed.The legislators want an explanation because we are the representatives of the people. Therefore, we must ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, may I commend the Mover of this Bill on the amendment of the two-thirds gender principle. She is putting a lot of effort to move this Bill. I support this Bill because it is about the Constitution which was voted overwhelmingly by the people of Kenya. When Kenyans voted for Articles 97 and 98on the composition of the Senate and the National Assembly, they knew they were voting about the numbers which would affect the wage bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, in my view, we have seen many women making effort and in 2017, there will be many ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the clause about having a chance for a second nomination is to curb the nomination being given four or five times. If for the second time, I stood for an elective post and garnered 30 000 votes, I have added the votes to my presidential candidate. Therefore, he or she should recognise the effort that I have made. We also spend money when campaigning because it is not a free undertaking. We know that campaigns in Kenya are expensive. So, on that basis, women should be given a second opportunity for our nomination if we can prove ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second this very important Bill; The Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Bill, 2014 whose objective is very clear. The Mover stated very clearly that the National Assembly Powers and Privileges Act, Cap 6 which is the current law on this subject did not envisage a bicameral parliament. Therefore, this Bill is moved today so that we can debate on the various clauses that the Mover talked about. The main objective of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Bill, 2014 is to give effect to Article 117 of the Constitution. We know that Article 117 (1) of ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to disagree with this Bill because I do not support the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.21 of 2015) as it seeks to discriminate against the ward structures in the county governments. We are well aware that there are two levels of Government. We have the national Government and county governments. These are all independent. I think it is the people who should set up structures and laws of how they want to administer their counties. The objective of the Bill is to amend Sections 50, 51 and 52 of the County ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, Article 187(1) of the Constitution says:- “A function or power of Government at one level may be transferred to a Government at the other level by agreement between the two levels of governments.” We are trying to pass this Bill. There was public participation and the Council of Governors (CoG) objected. We also looked at it at the Committee level. The national Government has bought a lot of medical equipment on lease /hire which has been distributed to the hospitals. Now, they want to re-classify these hospitals so that they take back the power from county ... view
• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join you in welcoming the girls from Riara Secondary School and the gentlemen who are also visiting. Riara Schools are known to perform well in academics. I encourage the girls to work hard because their dreams are valid. Somebody challenged dreams here, but God and send one a sign through a dream. The sky is the limit and not the bottom. Work hard and you will get there. You can be Miss World, a Senator or anything in life, so long as you have your goals and focus right. Thank you. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate today, Wednesday, 6th July, 2016:- Report of the Inter-parliamentary Union regional seminar for African Parliaments on effective implementation of resolution 1540 in Africa; opportunities for Parliaments held in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, in February, 2016. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.4 (2) (b), I wish to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the recent increase in the price of maize floor. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (a) Confirm that the recent increase in the price of maize flour is not due to millers preferring to import maize from neigbouring countries instead of buying locally produced maize. (b) Specifically clarify why the millers are not purchasing produce under the Galana-Kulalu Irrigation Project and state what the Government is doing about it. (c) Confirm ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like some clarification. This is because the road from Eldoret to Kitale which was built by the colonial government is so narrow and its shoulders are worn out. We have heard of so many accidents involving those riding motorbikes. Could the government do something? view
