On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is becoming a tradition in this House that Members are raising points of order and with all due respect you are not ruling on them. It is important for the Senate Minority Leader to substantiate or apologise and withdraw.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I was looking at Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. who was waiting for me to state whether I support this Bill or not. We have had a very lengthy discussion on this Bill. At some point, I told him that I was not going to support it if it will not resolve the issues of Isiolo County. Nevertheless, let me congratulate him for coming up with this Bill. I know that it has taken a long journey because it would have been dealt with in the last Senate. However, politics played a role in it ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when this statement was raised on the Floor of the House last time, we realized the issues touched two committees. Going by practice, if a matter is crosscutting two Committees, they can come together and give an answer. Secondly, the matter I raised in that statement is a national disaster; one that sorely falls under the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. If now it is referred to the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, it clearly means it is being thrown away. It is important you give direction. Let the two Committees sit and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Senator for Laikipia says seven days, it means it might go up to the end of Thursday, next week. I would request that the matter be fast-tracked to preferably early next week because the situation is very bad.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move:- THAT, this House adopts Sessional Paper No.2 of 2016, on the National Slum Upgrading and Prevention Policy, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 10th October, 2017. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has been a tradition in this country where normally, legislations are put in place before policy. I think policy should come first because it forms the basis of actually coming up with the legislation. What has been happening is that most of the Ministries come up with legislation and then go back to formulate policy. However, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to ask a question.

22 Feb 2018 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 46 (2) (b), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on the severe persistent drought in isiolo County that has led to severe malnutrition in children, children dropping out of school, loss of lives and livestock. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) State the amount of relief money available from the Emergency Fund to Isiolo County Government for famine and drought mitigation. (2) Explain why despite the early warning on the current situation of drought in the country, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the practice, we have been having similar cross cutting issues that are brought to the Committee. Part of the request that I have made is also touching on security. So, I do not see why the Vice-Chairperson is running away from answering the statement. Could he consult the relevant Department because that is one Government?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I can see the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations is running away from this statement. Last Friday, herds of cattle were taken from Isiolo County and one person was killed. Secondly, we lose lives every week as a result of drought. These are matters that concern the two departments. Could the two Committees work together and come up with a proper answer?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to respond to the Warehouse Receipts System Bill (Senate Bills No. 10 of 2017). I thank all the Members who have made contributions towards this particular Bill. The suggestions and concerns addressed by various speakers concerning the Bill will at some point enrich the Bill. Secondly, this will be automatically addressed at the Committee Stage. The small- scale farmers have something to smile about once this particular Bill has gone through since a lot of issues that affect them have been addressed individually. They will develop the farmer, the economy of the country and improve ...
