8 Oct 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to give credit to the Kenya Power Company because wherever you go in the rural areas you find some work going on. I think it is good to give credit where it is due.

8 Oct 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, even taking the lines there is an effort which we must acknowledge. Having said that, in Kitui County, it is normal that we run without power for a very long time. Every Thursday of the week, we do not have power. I do not know what happens. In fact, I thought that it is only in Kitui that we have blackouts. I am so encouraged to hear that other areas are like Kitui County. When will the Kenya Power Company ensure that Kenya as a whole is connected to the national grid? Secondly, when will they ensure ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe in acknowledging the work of anybody. I think that even taking wires is work done. If you go to the remotest parts of Kitui County, you will find wires even if they are not working. That is an effort.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am sorry to interrupt the able Chairman of the Committee but he said that what he is reading to us is not a report of the Committee because they could not make a report due to the absence of the governor. The Chair is reading to us what was delivered to the Committee, and I stand corrected, by the secretary. Is he in order to read us verbatim what he got from the secretary for Narok rather than his Committee sitting down and examining the report to determine whether it ...

7 Oct 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on what Sen. (Dr.) Machage has said, I have never heard of a Chair of a committee coming to the House to ask what he or she should do because a witness has failed to appear before a committee. There are clear instructions. We are creating a dangerous precedence here, where there are some people who can be summoned by a committee and fail to come and we do nothing but lament. Let the Chair use the rules as set in the Standing Orders. The Powers and Privileges Act also gives them the powers to order ...

7 Oct 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill because of the importance that I attach to this matter. Indeed, this is national problem. As you will recall, this is not the first time that we have the opportunity to discus about matters concerning HIV/ADS which has become a major problem for many years in this country. Many lives have been lost, and we have not seen the end to this scourge despite the efforts that we have been making. As of now, the matter has been basically at the national level and we have not done much at ...

6 Oct 2015 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand once again for the third time since we came from recess to seek the indulgence of the Chair. I think last time the Chair ordered that the secretariat looks into the matter of bringing the Cabinet Secretaries(CSs) for the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services and Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to answer the issues that have been pending since the last sitting. As of now, I have not gotten any word as to whether the officials are coming. I think it is in the ...
