• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think what I was going to say has been said by the Senate Minority leader. We as a Senate - these petitions tell that we are not serious. We are not doing our work as it is supposed to be done. We must make sure that this money is spent properly. If I can read wisely, the indication from the public is that we are now being challenged through the Speaker, that the Members of this House have almost abdicated their responsibilities because the Senate does not say anything about any governor here. We know there ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a matter concerning boundaries; and looking at this Statement, it is clear that there have been a lot of consultations among the leaders and the agreement has never been reached. On behalf of the Committee, I request that you allow the Chairperson of the Committee on Security and Foreign Relations to answer this question next week on Thursday. I will be most grateful. view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Motion of Adjournment of the House until 16th June, 2015. While I do that, I want to also add my voice to what others who have spoken before me have said. As a Senate, we need to assert our position. You find that it is so easy for us to talk about the national Government which is outside our responsibility. As politicians and leaders of this country, we have a right to air our views and correct the national Government whatever the case but our main responsibility is to speak ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Being a Member of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, we have gone through this Bill and it was not an easy thing to get where we got. There were a lot of negotiations. Whether we got the majority decision or not, I think we must thank the National Assembly as well for arriving at a certain conclusion. Whatever happened during the negotiation should never be made an issue here. This is because during negotiation, there are those who agree or disagree on a position. When an agreement is reached finally, we should go ... view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this Motion is very important. This matter was raised 20 years ago, but nothing has ever been done. If you look at the HANSARD, you will realise that almost everything that has been said here was said The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, this matter has been exhausted because it is very clear that all public funds have to be audited. Whether the demand is raised by the National Assembly or the Senate, the Auditor-General has to look at it. The current situation is that a lot of money has been spent; it was being spent by just a single officer. They went round to manipulate the committees to make sure that this matter does not come out. It is very important to have this Clause is amended the way it is. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, three minutes is too short. However, I would like to say the following. When the National Assembly and the Senate deal with matters of security, they need to be extremely careful. This is because we appear as if we know too much, more than those who do investigations. Unless we support those people, it will be a big problem. Some of them will fear to arrest any person, particularly those connected to a Member of Parliament or a “big person”, because it could be an issue. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank all the Senators for their contributions because I am a Member of the Committee that came up with this Report and that is why I would have not felt bad even if I was not going to speak. They have agreed with our proposals and we are most grateful. This Government has been in office for about two years, and I am sure that governors and MCAs have now started to realize that there are auditors who audit expenditure. I think we should not keep on crying about what the governors are ... view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This matter is very clear, as it has been said by Sen. Murungi because we passed a resolution here sometimes ago and we all agreed as a House that we shall give Nyandarua and other counties some money to build their headquarters. We all agreed on that issue. But even now, the situation needs not change unless--- Not all county headquarters are up to date; but there are some counties which do not have county headquarters. Therefore, the issue of Nyandarua and Tharaka-Nithi is very disturbing and the public will not understand. ... view
