• 23 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while acknowledging the rights of the petitioner to petition this House, I would like to advise him and perhaps the Committee that is going to look into this matter that the matter of how many devolved units we are going to get was a matter of serious debate all over the country when the Constitution was being formulated. I recall that we had eight regions which some people wanted to be the devolved units. However, owing to political and cultural diversity of this nation, it became apparent that the districts which were set in 1992 would be ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I seek the guidance of the Chair because when this matter came up last time, the Chairman attempted to read a report that they had compiled by visiting the university. A point was raised that whenever we seek statements from Chairs of Committees, we do not ask them to go and investigate. We ask them to go to the Ministry and get the version of the Ministry and cross-examine their story, unless a select committee was appointed by this House to go and investigate the matter. In this case that we ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, obviously this is a grave matter which has taken a lot of time. Yesterday, we spend quite a lot of time with a Motion for Adjournment from the Senate Minority Leader. Everywhere you go in this Republic, people are talking about their children not learning. While thanking the Chair, it would not be misplaced for me to say the matter has not been taken as seriously as it should. The Chairman said, and I believe he was reading a Statement from the Cabinet Secretary, where he had said in public that examinations will go on regardless ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to remind the Chair and the House that as we were going on recess, there were two matters that remained pending, and the Chair ruled that after we resumed, Cabinet Secretaries responsible would come to meet the whole House and give their positions on the issues raised. One is on the issue of cash transfers, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Labour Social Security and Services was to come and respond to some questions from Members. KILLINGS IN KITUI COUNTY Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the second request was about the security between ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very disappointed. The House will recall that this matter has been coming up almost every time we meet. The matter was postponed because – to quote the HANSARD – the Vice-Chairperson said; “I would request my Chairperson to accompany me to the office of the CS for the Ministry of Interior and Co- ordination of National Government to address this matter face to face with him.” That was on 7th July, 2015. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairman has requested to come with a response on Thursday. However, this matter can only be resolved when the CS is invited to this House so that all of us cross-examine him. This is because we cannot expect the Chairman, who has tried very much, to get anything from him. Therefore, I propose that this matter be the first business when we resume from recess. The CS should come here and face this House. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of clarification, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to know something regarding the approval that the Chairperson has talked about. Once the Committee finishes with a report, signs it, who approves it to be brought to the House? The Committee works on behalf of this House. We sent the Committee to do the work. They have signed the report. Who is supposed to approve it? I seek that clarification. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Vice Chairperson of the Committee for the answer and for the efforts she has been making in giving us a response to this very important issue. I want to express my deepest disappointment over this matter. The killings were done three months ago. I raised the issue here and even after visiting the CS in his office, he promised that an operation to flush out the herders who were harassing and killing the people of Kitui County was going to be undertaken. However, up to today, it has not been done. The second point ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Leshore is a friend of mine. Coming from Samburu County where banditry and cattle rustling is the order of the day, I am shocked that he appears to be supporting banditry. For his information, in Kitui County, we do not have such things. We are only hope that the issue will not be exported to our county. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe the Member is not properly informed. We were not expecting a response to a statement. We were expecting the Cabinet Secretary to come. This was a matter of the date of when the Cabinet Secretary would come to complete the work that she did not complete when we met in this Chamber--- view
