• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: There are a lot of expectations from the people that we represent; in terms of how we monitor and put our governors and the executives in our counties to account. So, unless we go by the model being suggested by my able Senators who have spoken; both Senators Sakaja and Kihika; we will reduce this into something that is like a SACCO, whereby the auditor will prepare reports, they are presented before the House, we summon governors, they give some answers, we table the report and life continues. I will give you an example. If you look at the audit ... view
• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Report of the Committee on Finance and Budget on the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule for Fiscal Year 2018/19. This Schedule is coming to the Senate at a time when those of us who are here to protect devolution and our county governments are still processing the Memorandum that has been sent to the National Assembly by His Excellency the President. We are made to understand that its implication will lead to the reduction of money that was due to go to the counties by a whooping Kshs9 billion. ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I join other Members to congratulate my good friend, Sen. Outa, who represents Kisumu County, for his nomination to the Committee on Health. For the time I have known him, I have no doubt in my mind that he brings on board a wealth of experience in parliamentary committees, having been a Member for the past 10 years. So, the committee will have rich ideas with his coming on board. There is no doubt that health is one of the most sensitive sectors in our country. Of all the services that were devolved, there is none that ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Motion on the Floor. I want to be on record that I know Hon. Samuel Kiprono Chepkong’a as a Member of the legal profession. When I served as the President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), I remember him as a member who was in good standing. To add on that, looking at his Curriculum Vitae (CV), I think Hon. Chepkong’a will bring a wealth of experience to the Commission that ensures that our work as Senators is effective and efficient. He served with distinction as the director-general of the Communications ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I rise to second the Motion by my neighbour, Senator for Kericho, Sen. Cheruiyot. 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
• 12 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I second. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the initiative by the FP-ICGLR although I support this report with a few reservations. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is no doubt that the 12 member States that comprise membership to this FP-ICGLR share a number of common problems. When we form a conference of this stature, we expect that it will create an avenue and opportunity for us to tackle some of these problems that may not be tackled by people who live in some of those individual countries. I make a fair criticism on this report that we have ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: members of the military in Uganda. How can we be proud that we have a conference that should address issues of good governance, human rights and democracy when these issues are not brought forth to the Senate for us to debate? Madam Temporary Speaker, when we talk about issues of economic development and regional integration, we know the suspicion that has always been there between Kenya and other East African member states. We will never achieve economic integration in these regions if we continue treating each other with suspicion. I will give an example of the legal profession. We are ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I challenge Members who are our representatives in this very important conference that we expect to get a report that does not put anything under the carpet. It must bring everything on the table so that we freely debate the state of affairs in this region. That is the only way we will send a wakeup call to our leaders. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, even if we were to talk about the issues touching on the freedom of the press, we still have challenges in this region. Just the other day, I saw a journalist from Kenya Television Network (KTN) Ms. Sophia Wanuna being roughed up at the airport when she was covering the story of Miguna Miguna who was being deported. This is a young, helpless girl being brutalised by members of the military force in the full view of local and international press. If we do not put those issues in a report like this one, how will we ... view
