• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to join my Chairman in the Statement that he has made. As a Committee, we had presented to the Liaison Officer for EACC, who sits in that Committee, with specific cases. This include one in Kirinyaga County, where one person had taken Kshs188 million out of the Kshs200 million that was pending bills. We recommended that the EACC picks up that issue. The point I wanted to bring to the attention of the House is that the Liaison Officer should pick up specific issues. In Nandi County, we recommended that they ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion. Indeed, the Committee has looked at a number of issues. We are sharper than when we started, and I want to commend the Chairperson for leading the team well. This is one Committee where we keep time so that we can be accountable. We have agreed in the Committee--- view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I am just trying to say that we need to keep time, because it is a valuable resource. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Wamatangi has just walked out, instead of keeping time and waiting to listen to this Motion. Moving forward, as a country, let us agree that we need to be accountable. Accountability starts from the resources that we get. When we talk about counties, I like giving an example about organizations and the corporate world, where as the management, you are given what we call in accounting the “Agency Theory.” Shareholders give you the mandate, as the board and the management, to run the affairs of the organization. You are then to report at the end ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Unfortunately, that is where we have this calamity, and the issue will be debated shortly. The Level 4 hospital was described as a “dying” hospital. I want to hear of one county, other than Machakos, where health institutions are actually giving the services that are deserved. I believe that it is not an issue of public relations. Every day, the news is full of health institutions that are not working. As much as we say that health is a devolved function, I repeat that we need a marshal plan. We need to come together, as a nation, and ask ourselves ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: one is own-source revenue. These are some of the key things that we need to put as motivators for purposes of making counties work. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, with those many remarks, as usual, I beg to second the Motion. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 51(1)(b) to make a statement on the activities of the Standing Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization for the period commencing 1st July to 30th September, 2019. During the period under review, our Committee held a total of 15 sittings and considered three Bills. The Committee also participated in a conference that was convened by East African Grain Council (EAGC), and held two public hearing forums for the Bills under consideration. In respect of The County Licensing (Uniform Procedures) Bill (Senate Bills No.5 of 2019), our Committee is currently considering the ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Stage Amendments for the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill (Senate Bills No.10 of 2019) and The County Tourism Bill (Senate Bills No.3 of 2019), and will table its reports on the Bills in due course. With regard to Petitions, the Committee has conclusively dealt with two petitions and tabled the reports. Arising from the Petition on reviews of the laws relating to business premises, the Committee intends to introduce an Amendment Bill to amend The Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishment) Act of 1965. In the period under review, the Committee held consultative meetings with the national ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to say two things with regard to what Sen. Seneta has alluded to. One, we held the meeting with the relevant Ministry, and we invited the distinguished Senator, Sen. Pareno. We even exchanged the details with the Ministry and we had planned to visit there. Secondly, what came out is that probably, the relevant Committee that was to deal with the Statement is the Committee on Lands, Environments and Natural Resources. Having said that, I promise to check on it and find out what the Committee can do, if the issue is still outstanding. ... view
