• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know through which means the Senator received his response. We, as a Committee, make our communications through the Clerk of the Senate. The statement has just been delivered to me now here from the office of the Clerk. Maybe he went directly to the Cabinet Secretary who happens to come from the same area and same constituency with him. I got my response now from the Clerk and there is nothing I can do about it. view
• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I oblige and withdraw and apologize to my senior brother, Sen. Musila. I can see the statement was received here sometimes at the end of last month and somehow the Committee has not had a session since we went for recess. I believe that is why we did not get possession of it. Therefore, we will go through it tomorrow. If we are given up to next week, we should be able to deliver the statement. view
• 23 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to disagree entirely with the Senator for Kakamega County, my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. He is giving the impression that we should deliberate on this matter now because the security of MCAs is in question. I want him to know that the security of all Kenyans is as important as it is for Members of this Senate and even other elected leaders. But--- view

• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would not say the same of the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. What I said of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources is that when we request for Statements, answers come promptly. However, it is exactly the opposite of what happens when we do this in the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. Records will show that sometimes it takes us even two months to receive statements from this particular Ministry. Madam Temporary Speaker, having said that let me give an undertaking that in three weeks--- view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will endeavour to make a response to that particular request in three weeks’ time. Whether the response is there or not, I will report progress in the House. view
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in requesting for three weeks, I was, indeed, going by the trend in which we receive answers from this particular Government department and I wanted to be very sincere to the House. I do not want to make promises that I will not be able to fulfill. The difference between two weeks and three weeks is not much. As pertains to the issue of incompetence, I want to inform Sen. Murungi that I am not anywhere near the appointing authority of Cabinet Secretaries and their offices. If there is incompetence in these ministries, it is this Jubilee ... view

• 2 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to make my remarks on the amendments to this Bill. I rise to support this amendment and I want to urge my colleagues to support this amendment and pass it as quickly as possible so that we can give you the opportunity, pursuant to Article 112(b) of the Constitution, to present the Bill to the President for assent. There is not much to be debated on this particular amendment. As you said, it is a very minor one. The counties that we represent in this House are in dire need ... view
