• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for guiding the Senate Minority Whip and his Deputy. In conclusion, I would be the last person to want to take us back in debate, but let it be on record that as we speak today, the Jubilee Senators in this House occupy committee positions assigned by the Minority side. Let us not create the wrong impression that somebody has been kicked out of all committees. One of the best things we have to do in this House is to agree that if a select committee has been set up by the wisdom of the ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: It is okay, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hear Sen. Cheruiyot trying to issue cold threats. I will ignore that. I listened to the Chairman of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. I have also listened to the response from Sen. Cherarkey. I am disappointed that the instructions that you gave and the Report that we have received today are at variance. We were supposed to get a Progress Report on what would have transpired between that time and today. That report is so shallow that the Chairman of Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relation is making reference to 16 ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator can inform me anytime. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that information is not useful to me. It is okay. I will ignore it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in that Progress Report that the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations has given, he is proposing a meeting between the Senate and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). My expectation was he was coming to report to us the recommendation and findings of the first, second and third meeting that they have had with SRC. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I call on my friend whom I had lunch with today, Sen. Abass and the Committee, to up ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Bill. I have few remarks to make. First, I congratulate the Mover and the proposer of the Bill for thinking about the important role played by the Mover. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: I would appreciate if the Senator of Kitui County could be heard in silence. There is a lot of activity around the Speaker. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thought she would benefit from my contribution. Perhaps it is not needed. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a reason why the drafters of our Constitution in the Fourth Schedule listed agriculture in Part Two as the first devolved function for county governments. The reason is because of what I have heard a few of my colleagues make reference to – that we are attempting to move to industrialization. However, before we get there, Kenya is an agricultural country and we must accrue maximum benefit from it. Since farming take place in all the 47 counties, the drafters of the Constitution wanted a situation where our country would move away from making reference ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Whereas I appreciate the decision and move by Sen. Tabitha Mutinda to create the board, my only fear is that board may serve to speak against the spirit of decentralizing agriculture because that board is too Nairobi-centric, if I can put it that way. Those of us who were born many years before Sen. Tabitha Mutinda was born, we remember something that the former President Moi called the District Focus for Rural Development (DFRD) in 1983. This was a policy shift where he decided that we could not be sitting in Nairobi to make decisions about villages that we did ... view
