• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. PUBLICATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I agree with my colleagues, the tradition in the Tenth and Eleventh Parliaments has been when a question is asked from Ministries and the Senator who had asked is not there, the question is dropped at the discretion of the Speaker. So, can we look at the question of somebody who is deliberately not available? We can have that Statement dropped instead of waiting indefinitely for the Senator to be present so that the Statement is responded to. view
• 7 Mar 2018 in Senate: Sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I did not get the question. I do not know how intensive it is. view
• 7 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill from the onset because it addresses an area of concern. We already have disputes with boundaries of counties and there has been no mechanism of sorting it out. As it has been said, Article 6 sets out that the 47 counties are what is recognized as being the divisions into which the territory of Kenya is made. I have been looking at that Districts and Provinces Act and I used to wonder how it was established. I am surprised and happy to know that it was Sen. Wako who did it. I ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to join fellow Senators in congratulating our colleagues who have been appointed to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). They have already been approved by the National Assembly and it is now our duty to do the same. I would like, from the onset, to support the Motion. The PSC is a creation of the Constitution of Kenya. One of its main responsibilities is to provide services and facilities to ensure efficient and effective functioning of Parliament, which is made up of the two Houses. In the last Parliament, the Senate felt like ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues in supporting the Warehouse Receipts System Bill, 2017. Agricultural produce are perishable goods. A lot of effort and investment go into production of these goods. If there is no proper storage then the farmer will be the one to lose. The consumers will have less in terms of choice. For some time now, we have been losing agricultural produce due to poor storage and bad weather. The available storage has been mainly the one by the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB). If we can have this system ... view
• 7 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion and urge the House to adopt the report. Being the largest economy in East Africa, and having some of our members of the EAC being our number one trading partners, for example, Uganda, we have a lot to benefit from this kind of a Community. We need to be serious when we deal with the legislative part of the EAC. However, I would like to, maybe from memory, remind Members that actually in the last Parliament, this list was brought. However, Parliament could ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to join my colleagues in supporting the alteration of the calendar. The reason given is well understood. It is a business that we should have done in the last session and now that we have the time, we have to do it. There have been many questions on the Floor of this House and there were no committees to tackle them. If we could also include that issue of forming the committees, then, over the break, these questions can be addressed and that will also be a good reason for this extension. view
• 5 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to join my colleagues in noting the annual report by the Controller of Budget on County Government Budget Implementation Review for Financial Year 2016/2017. First of all, I would like to commend the Controller of Budget because these reports come on time. This is considering that there are other reports, like the Auditor General’s Report, which are actually supposed to give us more information on what the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 29 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to second this Motion where the Senate is calling upon the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government – which I think should be the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, where the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) falls – so that the Act is expeditiously implemented. The Motion also aims to come up with effective drought response strategies aimed at saving both lives of people and the animals. I would like to draw the attention of the House that this Motion covers a very big part of this country; the Arid ... view
