• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am appealing to you to give a way forward as regards the issue of Petitions, some of which were filed three months ago. I presented one Petition that was directed to the Department of Agriculture through the Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources. The Chair is here with us this afternoon. This Petition was on the plight of Mwea Rice Farmers who are languishing in a lot of problems and facing many challenges, especially relating to the marketing of rice. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Chairman say that the question of the Petition is a bit elaborate and he needs more time. He says that he has already consulted the three Cabinet Secretaries concerned over the Petition. He has said he needs more time. Could he tell us how much more time he needs to give a report because farmers in Mwea continue suffering from the same problems that were stated in the Petition? view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to thank Sen. Kagwe for giving that brief Statement on the disbursement of money that is supposed to go towards secondary schools in Kenya. However, what is amazing is that as he says that the money will be released by Friday, that is the time that schools are supposed to be buying examination materials and equipment for exams scheduled to start on 22nd October, 2013. There are schools located in far off places like Turkana, Lodwar and Mandera. Officials from those schools will have to travel to Nairobi to buy the same equipment and materials. ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: As we note, schools will be closing on 15th November--- view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already done a lot of interrogation. I hope the Chairman will be able to answer all the questions. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate what the Chairman has said about us going to the banks, there are some people who cannot afford to negotiate for credit facilities, particularly those in day schools. What is important is that we should have and follow a programme for this money. If the money is to be paid during the first term, we should know up to when we should wait for this money. The same applies to second and third terms. We should not be looking like we are begging from the National Treasury. The payment programme should be known by ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand here as a friend to the Chairman. This matter is very serious. It is serious to the extent that for a Form Four student to get a certificate, he must have had problems with arrears from Form One to Form Four. It is through the understanding of the parents and the head teacher that the final certificate of Form Four is given. So, if this student was to be denied--- 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, ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me the chance again to support of this wonderful Motion which has been moved and seconded by two very eloquent Senators. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we have heard and what we have read from the report is replicated in many counties. You will find that the limitations that we have seen and heard from the report are a replica of what others are doing. I would urge other committees to emulate what the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights has already done; visiting such counties like Mombasa and Kilifi, and ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: moving very fast in terms of positioning itself in the new dispensation. I recommend all Committees of this House to visit Mombasa. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that most counties are not up and running. They are engaged in endless wrangles. Every time they are fighting their speakers, governors, the majority leader and other leaders. These are our county assemblies. They are not engaging themselves in constructive debates. So, it is, therefore, important if prudent attention is given so that the MCAs can learn from one another. That is the reason we have video conferencing so that ... view
