• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to also support the proposed amendments to the Statutory Instruments Act. I serve in the Committee of Delegated Legislation. Often, we have had problems in terms of determining which subsidiary legislation should come before our Committee and which one should go to the National Assembly. Unless we, as a Senate, fight to reclaim our space, then we will always be overrun by the National Assembly. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill because it is giving us an opportunity to reclaim our rightful place as Senators, when it comes to scrutinizing subsidiary legislations that emanate from the Executive. If we follow the history of countries that have bicameral Parliaments like the United States of America (USA), there were a lot of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: fights between Congress and the Senate, before eventually Congress came to accept that the Senate is the superior House. In fact, this debate that we have heard, where the National Assembly says that finance Bills should not come to the Senate, these are issues that were there in the USA between Congress and the Senate. After a lot of infighting between Congress and the Senate, eventually it was accepted that finance Bills must be processed by the Congress and get the concurrence of the Senate. In fact, at some point in history, the chairmanship of the Finance Committee used to ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to be more alert as Senate, because I have read a number of Bills that are processed by the Committee on Delegated Legislation by the National Assembly, that never find their way to the Senate, which is not right. That is not the way it should be. Once the National Assembly has made a determination on a particular regulation, they should also find their way to the Committee on Delegated Legislation of the Senate, either for concurrence or rejection. I want to appeal to my Chairman, Sen. Poghisio and Members of this Committee, to always ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this amendment because it is one that is squarely within Article 110 of the Constitution. It gives us more role in scrutinizing regulations that are forwarded to either the National Assembly or the Senate by the Executive. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate my good and learned friend, Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko, on his nomination to serve in these Committees. I have known him for many years. We were students together at the University of Nairobi and I succeeded him as the Treasurer of the Students Union of the University of Nairobi (SONU). I, therefore, know him as a man with immense leadership capabilities. I was very happy when he joined politics and became a Member of Parliament (MP) ahead of some of us. It is also good to see the ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to begin my contribution by saluting the American people for the historic elections that has seen 100 women elected to Congress. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: When Congress convenes in January, there will be a woman Speaker, Hon. Nancy Pelosi, the senior most democrat who will be proceeding. That is a message to the world that the American people have shown the way that they can usher in a new generation of women who have stood out to say they will not be shut down and nobody can stand on their way. They have not been elected because of affirmative action, but because they have proved to the American people that they have what it takes. I look at my two colleagues on the other side ... view
