• 29 Apr 2021 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
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: proposed amendment to Article 230, where all these bodies will be removed and replaced with seven Commissioners, picked by the President and then vetted only by the National Assembly and not by the Senate, yet they will set terms for both Members of the National Assembly and the Senate is highly objectionable. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: We also looked at how the SRC will be able to determine terms for professionals, including engineers and quantity surveyors providing service to national Government and county governments. We found that this Article will most likely be very problematic. Therefore, we propose that, in future, they will be need to relook at this particular Article. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other point that was very controversial is the Second Schedule of this proposed Bill. On the issue of the proposed 70 constituencies, we looked at it from two angles. The first one is the process leading to the creation of the 70 constituencies. We went through all the BBI reports, and they are contained in this Report that was tabled before the House. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: We looked at the initial taskforce, when they released their first reports. Nowhere was there mention of an additional 70 constituencies, and the 28 counties that were to benefit.

They took us to task to show them where the BBI team held public hearings, where Kenyans gave views as to which counties should benefit from these 70 constituencies. We had no answers. Therefore, the process that was followed to allocate these 70 constituencies to 28 counties and leave out 19 does not have answers within BBI. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Secondly, we invited two critical bodies; the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). When the KNBS appeared before us, they took us through the population data in their possession and the formula of population per constituency that can be used to share out these constituencies. Their verdict – it is in this Report – was that at least five counties were unfairly denied constituencies. They identified Kitui County, Kisii County, Meru County; at least in total, five counties. They said that if we used a proper formula, those counties should have been ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: When we asked the IEBC whether they were consulted or there were any public hearings before these constituencies were allocated to these 28 counties, they appeared before us and stated – it is in this Report – that they were never consulted or involved in the allocation of these 70 constituencies. What is even serious is that the IEBC told us that the BBI taskforce--- view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope you can add me ten more minutes. view
