• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was still on the maize issue; so I think my point of order has been overtaken by events because I had already contributed to this Bill. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. It has always been our interest that this issue should be resolved for the benefit of the county government workers. I want to agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that this confusion is not good. I wish, through your office, that we can agree such that we do not have two Bills at the end of the day. They have agreed that it is not a money Bill, yet it involves counties, and that cannot be allowed. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Therefore, I have expressed reservations on this, and the Chairperson is fully aware on the same. This confusion could be an intentional way to serve some partisan and selfish interests with an aim and bid to undermine the rightful interests of all county workers across 47 counties. So long as a legal framework is not in place, the cartels will continue to have a field day in this confusion because they will take advantage of the non-availability or the lack of a legal framework. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Therefore, these issues are real, because how can it be that there is this Bill and then we had our own at the Senate? Then there was one from the National Assembly, and we have agreed that it is not a money Bill. Those are some of the issues that we need to agree on. I have heard my Chairperson saying that even if we go for mediation and they refuse with our amendments, or they refuse at the mediation level, it will mean that we will still go back. This will be unfair to everybody and every worker in ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we agree that we need to resolve this matter, for all intents and purposes. If there is a way we can consolidate both Bills and ensure that we agree and go forward---. However, if as a Senate, we must make a decision to drop---. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: I have read both Bills and ours, which was moved by Sen. Sakaja, my Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, is much better and superior than the one of the National Assembly. I, therefore, do not know why my Chairperson is retreating and standing behind a Bill which is half baked from the National Assembly, and there is nothing we can do more than that. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: I, therefore, think that the Chairperson needs to take a position on behalf of his own workers’ interests, who are on strike. The other day the workers of Nairobi City County were on strike, and these are part of the labour rights that the workers are looking for, both in spirit and substance of Article 41 of the Constitution of Kenya. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we must, therefore, take a position and agree on which way forward to ensure that we save the hard-earned money of county workers across the 47 county governments in this country. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when you look at Standing Order 105, it says there are some reasons as to why you can adjourn. Are we debating for the sake of it or we want to have a Bill for the purpose of achieving the interests of the county workers? Do we just want to push the process?
