• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sir, I withdraw and apologize. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: What I am trying to say here is that the decision was made by the Committee which is appointed by this House. Committees always have the Chair and the Members, and my assumption is that it was unanimous. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Okay. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I am trying to say is that we have to be extremely careful when we are dealing with the new Government. We have had the central Government for many years and we have not managed to control the kind of corruption which is taking place in the national Government. The national Government has now been devolved and we have about 47 county governments. If we are not capable of dealing with the national Government to stop corruption, which has been spread all over, we have to be more energetic to manage and to make ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Yes; he just came in and started--- view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Anyway, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is your role to discipline him, not me. But what I am saying here, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is that let us appear – not just appear – let us be seen to be above these county governments because we are there to assist them to succeed in the new dispensation; that is our job. We should not to try and appear as if we want to manage their day to day business. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, no one in this Senate would want to be seen as if the Senate is being ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Yes, the Controller of Budget. The guy did not do any job; any person would have done it--- view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Whether it is a lady or a man--- view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Any person, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, would have done it; you do not have to become an accountant to detect this mistake. So, actually, there was no job done by anybody except the Speaker of the County Assembly; the person who just said there is a problem here and I am sending it to my seniors. He knows for sure that the Senate is their senior, and that is why he reported the matter to us; by writing to the Controller of Budget and also copying it to the Speaker of the National Assembly. He understood that he had to ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the honourable Senators have exhausted their contributions and that is why none of them was competing with me to catch your eye. What is important in this Motion is not just to transfer the funds to the counties. What is more effective is that the counties, especially the county representatives be responsible for this money to the people who elected them. The biggest problem now is that there is no county representative, a Member of Parliament or a Senator who has legitimate rights to direct and to enforce the law which gives ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. First of all, I would like to congratulate the Mover of this Motion. To me, it seems that he has been thinking very critically about the affairs of other people. I think even after Independence and even before Independence, we had these people called wazees ; and they have been working voluntarily. It is unfair for a Government, which has been there for more than 50 years, to continue depending on free service from individuals, either communally or individually. I think this Motion ought not to have come because it is suggesting that we ... view
