• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sometimes the Chairpersons of Committees face a lot of frustrations in the course of their duties. We are putting our colleague Senator in a very awkward position. Answers have not been forthcoming; maybe she has been there for a long time, waiting for it. view
• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am informing the Senator. I am sympathizing with her position. Sometimes it is a bit difficult. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for allowing me the opportunity to acknowledge the presence of the University students from the University of Kabianga. We have some young Senators who have served as leaders in various universities. Their coming here could be that they are scouting on how to also win the elections and come here. If that should happen, I congratulate and welcome them to the Senate and wish them the best of luck. I am the Chairperson of the Committee on Education. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is very frustrating to imagine that as a Senate once we pass Bills here, deliberate and come up with recommendations, that an institution can block what we discussed here. We need to be assured that this House will not be taken for granted. We should be seen like we are a serious House; serious to the letterr so that when we say that this should be done by a certain department it should be done, otherwise what are we doing here? It is like we are wasting time and public money because this issue should ... view

• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have now received a copy. He can proceed to issue the Statement. In the meantime, I wish to congratulate you for being in the Chair. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Chairperson for the Statement, it is imperative that there was bias from the beginning. Even the meeting on 11th and 12th April, 2017 is doubtful. We have a total of 65 KMTC campuses, which surpasses even the number of counties. That means that some counties have more than one campus, when others do not have even one. What criteria was used to omit Kirinyaga The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: . Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it the business of the governor or the Senator to indicate the need of KMTC or there is a policy to be considered before a campus is established? Based on the geography that I know, I doubt if there are campuses in some of those areas in those counties he has mentioned. They are not necessarily where the county headquarters are. I would like to know what went wrong if we have 65 campuses in 47 counties and there is none in Kerugoya or Kutus. Kerugoya is the headquarters of Kirinyaga County where we ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a problem that not only affects Nyamira County, but virtually all counties. If people were to be allowed to petition us, we would get petitions from every county. This is an issue that has been recurring in the Senate. The County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) has been doing a lot of work to expose some of the counties that have been involved in misappropriation of funds. Therefore, it is important that this matter be looked into, in totality because it affects many counties. There is need for us to spell out the ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the entire Senate and the Committee on Education, as the Chairman, I welcome all the students who are in the Public Gallery. We are happy with their coming. When they go back they should greet the once they left in their schools. We wish you all the best of luck, particularly those in Form Four, to pass and access the university and eventually come to the Senate and sit where we are seated. I thank you. view
