• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we thank you for the messages that you have delivered. On the second two messages, you have clearly given the way forward by appointing Members to the Mediation Committee. However, on the first message on the Public Audit and Asset Disposal Bill (National Assembly No.38 of 2014), you did not come out clearly. You just read the message and yet Standing Order No.40 (6) says that you may direct the message dealt with forthwith or appoint a day for consideration of the message or refer to the relevant Committee of the Senate. You did none of the ... view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement that you are just ruling on falls under my Committee. It is listed on the Order Paper appendix as a Statement to be issued. However, I just want to bring to your attention that it has not even been requested. I think it is a mistake that it is to be delivered today. view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what you have just stated is the right position. However, we all know that what is normally listed in the appendix are the Statements that are due to be delivered and not asked view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that it has been about two months since the Hon. Senator requested for this Statement from my Committee. We were to get a response from Nairobi County Government and not the Cabinet Secretary (CS). We wrote to the Nairobi County Government, but we have not received a response, four weeks down the road. We even reminded them two weeks ago. We have now invoked Article 125 of the Constitution. We have summoned the governor and his team to come and explain this matter to us. I had shared the same with Sen. Ong’era and ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to bring to your attention that the Senator for Nyeri referred to the Senator for Migori as the Senator for Kuria. Is there a Senator for Kuria in this House? Is he in order? view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I consulted the gracious Sen. Kittony a while ago. She told me that they have not received the answer from the Cabinet Secretary. I brought to her attention that the Constitution under Article 125 gives us the powers to compel these people to give the answers that we require as a Senate. I am glad that she has bought the idea. I want to request that we expeditiously issue summonses and invoke Article 125 in full and in totality to ensure that we get the answers because the matter at hand is urgent and requires very quick ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I highly appreciate what Sen. Kagwe has just said. However, I think we are going against Standing Order No.86 – speaking twice on a Question. It says: “No Senator shall speak more than once to a Question except in the Committee of the Whole.” Sen. Kagwe had spoken on this matter --- view
• 8 Jul 2015 in Senate: Bw. Spika wa Muda, hiki kitu changu hakifanyi kazi! view
• 8 Jul 2015 in Senate: Bw. Spika wa Muda, nasikitika sana kwani hata baada ya Bunge letu kutumia pesa nyingi kutuwekea mitambo hii, hiki kitu changu kimekataa kufanya kazi. Nafinya lakini hakifanyi kazi. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join my colleagues in thanking the Chairman of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) for tabling these Reports. I am glad that at long last, the Report for Vihiga County has been tabled and we will scrutinise it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was a personal initiative of the Chairman – after he was beseeched by this House – to make sure that these Reports are tabled. We should not lose tract of the fact that earlier, the Auditor-General had wrongly interpreted the Constitution. Article 229(7) of the Constitution says that:- “Audit reports ... view
