• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand in connection with Statement No.(d) on the Order Paper on the issue of killings between Kitui and Tana River borders particularly the killings that are happening to my people in Kitui County. The issue has gone on for a long time and every time the Chairperson of the Committee reports that they will come with a Statement. The last time they responded, the Statement was inadequate and you ordered that a further Statement be given immediately. This is a matter of life and death. We are sitting here waiting for the Chairperson of ... view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, 20th August is a month away from today. I do not think we are in a position, at the moment, to determine on the date. Could the Chairman tell us whether he means 20th of August, September or July? view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I confirm that I had a discussion with the Chairman. Since we are scheduled to be on recess from 30th July, 2015, I thought it would be reasonable for us to give the CS more time so that we deal with the matter after the recess. view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate today, Wednesday, 15th 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 the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. In the past, this House established a tradition where we take consensus and vote for Bills without much strain. It looks like there is a feeling especially from this side that certain regulations are not acceptable. Therefore, I would like to plead with the Chair that we do more consultation so that we do not break our tradition of working together in a bi-partisan manner. I plead with the Chair that we stand down this matter and we do more consultations and bring it back after a week, particularly, the issues ... view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is a mistake. view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this important Bill. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. decried the delay that has been caused over the past one year in bringing this Bill to the Floor of the Senate since it was published. I also feel so because it is very important and we all know that without an independent and autonomous assembly and, therefore, the County Assemblies Board, county assemblies cannot purport to function efficiently. You are aware that the National Assembly and even the Senate in the past used to depend on the Executive to be supplied with funds, ... view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let me start by applauding Sen. Mohamud for coming up with the idea of making these amendments and the very effective presentation that she has just made. We should all applaud her efforts. I stand to second this important Bill. I am aware that people wonder why there are so many amendments of the law in the Senate giving impetus to the county governments. People should understand that it is our role and work to ensure that counties function. I have been an advocate of equitable distribution of resources and opportunities throughout the country. As the Mover ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had sought for intervention on a different matter. However, now that you have acknowledged students from Nzeluni Academy from my county, I join you in welcoming them to the Senate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some two weeks ago, if you will recall, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Labour and Social Welfare came and talked to us about the issue of cash transfers to the elderly, People Living with Disability (PLWD) and the youth; specifically, Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC). The conclusion of that useful meeting was that in two weeks’ time, she would come and ... view
