• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand here to thank you for the wise decision and communication that you have made to the Senate. You recall that I raised this matter in Mombasa and the Chair of the CRA actually said he has been waiting for the Senate, through the Committee, to call him so that he can generate discussion on this matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, arising from your ruling that the Senate has an oversight role in this matter and in view of the fact that the Equalisation Fund is to take care of counties that have been marginalized, ... view

• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of my colleagues, Sen. Mugo and Sen. Leshore, I stand here, with a lot of humility, to say that we accept the nomination that the Senate has given to us. On their behalf and my own behalf, we pledge that we will work to the expectations of the Senate. I do not want to say much, except to thank hon. Senators for bestowing this honour upon us. We know that it is an enormous responsibility, especially at this time. As Sen. Kajwang said, Parliament is under attack. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion fully and congratulate the Government for going beyond the 15 per cent as it is required. The allocation has been raised up to 32 per cent. I think this is a good start although I would wish that it was increased. My friend, Sen. Murkomen, hinted that this is a credit to the Jubilee Government because it goes with the manifesto of the Jubilee Government. I want to remind my friend that, in fact, it is the policy of the CORD Government in waiting. view
• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the HANSARD will bear me witness. I said; “in waiting” and, indeed, we are waiting. I just want to emphasise a point that the issue of devolution has been given more weight by CORD and even the Jubilee Government. Therefore, that is why I commend the Government for exceeding 15 per cent to 32 per cent. As I said, I want this to be more. Possibly, when we go to the Committee of the Whole, we will make recommendations to ensure that this amount is increased. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was talking about the Equalization Fund and pleading that when the Committee on Devolution and Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs sit finally, as directed by the Speaker, I hope that they will look at the criteria which has been shown, which identifies actually 20 counties which are marginalized. But because the Chair says that the funds are less, he has to cut them to 14. If that is allowed to happen, it will mean that counties like Bomet, Baringo, Kitui, Homa Bay and others which have already been identified as marginalized will ... view

• 16 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you had concluded ruling on various points of order. I think you overlooked the point of order raised by Sen.(Dr.) Zani, which is good for us to appreciate. Sen.(Dr.) Zani raised the issue of hon. Orengo putting the names the- -- view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: I beg your pardon, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I apologise to the gracious lady. Could you rule on that issue? It is quite in order because the originator of the 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 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Motion by Sen. Orengo. This is a very important Motion because it concerns the transfer of debts owed by counties to the central Government. Yesterday, several hon. Senators expressed their concerns that there are many debts that have been inherited by counties from the former county councils. If these debts are transferred to the county governments, these governments will not be able to deliver the services that are expected of them from the people. But of all concerns is the worry that this Senate has heard from the beginning ... view
