• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can take three weeks. That is a very serious issue. view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to what you have also heard, I am likely to even add one week so that I can take one month so that I will be able to answer all those questions the way you have asked. It is very serious that this thing is coming; and going by what we know, a university means - according to what Sen. (Dr.) Machage was asking - it is a lot. If we are not careful, we might lead to destruction of these universities. So, I need one month. view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to note that with the Department of Roads, there is a lot happening in the countryside. There is drafting and designing of the road which takes a whole year such that the cost overshoots by the time the money is allocated in the Budget. Could the Chairman make sure that those people who are concerned, particularly the directors of the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) take a shorter time so that the roads are improved within a short time when they say that there is a necessity of improving them? The process should ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last time, the Vice- Chairperson told us that Kshs45 million was allocated to repair Sagana-Kagio-Kutus Road, but I disputed it because I felt it was not enough. I was told that the road was to be completed by the end of June. However, funds were spent on that road and it is still in pathetic condition. We are now in the month of October. Could he tell us what is happening? We want to know what this is all about because funds are allocated, spent and nothing to show on the ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a similar question is still lingering in my mind. The Ministry of Roads and Infrastructure just conducts business as usual until we ask questions for them to attend to these roads. Do they not have a section that deals with inspections of these roads? This will enable them to assess increase of traffic, potholes and destroyed bridges so that they repair them immediately without Senators necessarily coming here to ask questions. This is our concern. We are not against anything. The Ministry of Roads and Infrastructure must be proactive. They should assess which sections of the ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Chairman is avoiding my question. Could you direct him to answer? view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute in support of this Bill. This Bill concerns the two Houses of Parliament. Whether it is to be amended or not, we are talking about Parliament. Whereas Parliament has been referred to many times as the two Houses; bicameral Parliament, there are instances where the Senate is seen to be out of the scene when some things are done particularly in the National Assembly. Some of these things done in the National Assembly are like the ones that we have here. That is the reason why the ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to support The Self Help Associations Bill (Senate Bill No.2 of 2015) as moved by Sen. Wangari. What the Senator has said is true. What has been happening in this Parliament is very true with regard to taking stock and audit of what we say in this House and the National Assembly. I was a Member of Parliament of the Ninth Parliament for Kerugoya/Kutus Constituency. Today, it is known as Kirinyaga Central Constituency. During that time when we were Members of Parliament, we drafted quite a number of Bills. One of them ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to ask two questions. The first one is whether the Senatorial office in Nyeri County had anything to do with the reconciliatory process in the county. Secondly, I wanted to know whether the list of the officers that is given in this volume is the same names that were there originally after elections? Were there some who were either sacked before business was made or this is the actual names or list of the people who were initially employed after 2013? Mr. Speaker Sir, since I still have time, I would like ... view
