• 15 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the correction; I think it is an oversight. Allow me to amend the statement and substitute the words “the Chairperson of Standing Committee on Devolved Government and Intergovernmental Relations” with “the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget.” Thank you. view
• 13 Feb 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think this issue came here before and there was a ruling on it that there are Members of this House who have view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. However, based on the comments of the Senate Majority Leader, I will reserve my comments to the next Order. They will be more relevant in the next order than this. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity. I rise to support this Motion and in the interest of time, I will just have one or two observations to make. At the very outset, I join the Senate Minority Leader in congratulating Members who have been nominated to serve in various Committees and wish them well as they embark on their Committee work. This is an important Motion because as we all know, most of Senate or Parliament work is processed in Committees, contrary to what people know out there. The electorate believes that the work of the Senate ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for this opportunity. As noted by the good professor, Sen. (Prof.) Sam Ongeri, I know that our blood sugar levels have dwindled because we have been sitting here for the past eight hours. Our level of concentration is also dwindling. Therefore because of that, I will take the shortest time possible to move this Motion which is straightforward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT WHEREAS Article 43 (1) (f) of the Constitution of Kenya explicitly provides for the right to education for all; AND WHEREAS it is the responsibility of ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy, Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I thank my colleagues who have made very valuable contributions to this Motion. I am very happy that the support for the Motion has been overwhelming and this shows that there is a problem. Despite the fact that our blood sugar levels are low - we are tired and have been sitting here for the last nine hours - Members have braved all that to sit here and make contributions to this particular Motion. It tells you clearly that there is a problem and it must be addressed. I have listened ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy, Speaker, Sir, if you were listening to my reply that is exactly where I was heading. Members are very skeptical that the Ministry can actually audit itself. When I was moving this Motion I said that, initially when I drafted this Motion, I had sought that the House forms a select committee so that it can undertake this particular duty and responsibility. I agree with the Senator who is seeking for postponement. If that is provided for under our rules and Standing Orders then I have no objection that we can defer debate on this Motion, so that ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Orders No. 46(2)(a), to make a Statement on an issue of general topic of concern – the upsurge in incidences of road accidents in the country. First, I wish to register my condolences to the families, across the country who have lost loved ones to road carnage in the recent past. More specifically, to the Oguso family of Mahanga village and Mahanga Friends Church in Vihiga County, who lost 16 members in one accident and nine from the same family on Monday night, 11th December, 2017. It ... view
• 7 Dec 2017 in Senate: My apologies, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The noises were coming from these quarters; I should know better. I was just bringing to your attention that the Supplementary Order Paper that you are referring to is not in our possession. I heard you say ‘some,’ but nobody here has the Supplementary Order Paper. Therefore, we cannot follow. view
• 7 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Supplementary Order Paper has now been supplied. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
