• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: The original Bill was that any regulation be tabled in both Houses and then the Clerks of each House decide whether this is for this Committee or not. They have deleted that and only said, the relevant House, but regulations should go to the National Assembly. How will the Senate know that this regulation was meant for the Senate or the National Assembly, if it is not brought to our Clerk? That is one of the things that we are trying to amend. This Committee initiated two Bills; the Statutory Amendment Act to correct that anomaly and, the County Statutory ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: One of the issues as you have all mentioned is that, the amendment involved both Houses yet it was assented to even before coming to this House. Those are some of the challenges that the Committee has and that is the anomaly we are trying to address through the Bill that we are again amending, so that we take it back to the original bit. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: In terms of the Monitoring and Evaluation Fund that was annulled, we asked that question and it was decided at that point that the House leadership takes over in terms of dealing with the other House, but our Chair tried to reach out to the other Chair even before those regulations were tabled in that other Committee, to speak to them so that they get the way forward. Despite that, they still annulled. This is part of the problem of now trying to make sure that this House is either “dealt with properly” so that we do not have any ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: This Committee is also trying to empower the county assemblies so that there is a legal framework for them to review and even demand the regulations are also reviewed by the Executive. It is a good idea from the Chairperson of the Judicial Leaders Advisory Council (JLAC) that we have a meeting to discuss a few issues. I have also taken note of the policy on economic blocks. That is something that we will discuss in our Committee since we have not discussed the same before. I hope I have expressed everybody‟s concern. view

• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join you in welcoming the delegation from Kisii County Assembly. They are our counterparts and I want to congratulate them. I want them to see that this is a House where serious issues are deliberated and that they can learn from here. They were in our meeting this morning and we discussed a lot of issues with them, which is the right way to go, if The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: knowledge is to be shared. I am sure that they will learn and replicate the same in their Assembly. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply and wish to thank Sen. Hargura for seconding it and articulating the impact of not having those amendments in this Bill, in terms of how it has – he gave a real example - affected the Land Bill regulations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this section was okay as passed in 2013, however this year, The National Assembly Committee on Delegated Legislation moved an amendment to remove the Senate. So, it is not that it was not there, it was there but they removed it deliberately, the intention being to render this Committee ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Legislation in the Senate. In addition, it would have also rendered the other committees useless, if this was allowed to pass. I also wish to thank Sen. Cheruiyot for his remarks in terms of this House stamping its authority to ensure that they protect their space and, by extension, counties, because this House exists to protect counties. I also wish to thank Sen. Omogeni, for his views on Committee deliberations and other issues, including the struggles between Congress and Senate in the USA. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, given that our own existence as a House is being threatened all ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to contribute to this very important Bill. I also express my gratitude to Sen. Moi for bringing it to this House. view
