• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee on the Election of Members to the EALA laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 15th June, 2017. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as Members are aware, Parliament, both the Senate and the National Assembly, are required under the Treaty for the establishment of the East African Community (EAC), to elect Members to the EALA. This is a matter that has been protracted. In a way, we are behind other countries that have already submitted names ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Members who have contributed to this Report. It is a straight forward matter that we have deliberated on before. I believe that with the adoption of this Report, we will be able to move forward in an appropriate manner; fast enough to enable Members to be elected to the EALA. view
• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the answer to the Statement read, it is indicated that there are some areas that the Ministry could not respond to yet these are matters that concern the environment which is the mandate of the Ministry. Is it in order for the Ministry to shy away from its responsibility? Cabinet Secretaries are in charge of policy. Certainly, it has the powers and mandate to coordinate with the county governments on issues like this one. Is it in order for the Ministry to run away from its responsibility on policy issues that concern environment, even if the ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while we will certainly oblige to your direction, I agree with the speakers that we should not leave the Committee to get away with it. They have to give us a report on what we delegated them to do on our behalf. The Joint Committee is answerable to both Houses. view
• 13 Jun 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for (Prof.) Kindiki to be gagged to conform with a Bill that has come from another House? This is not his personal Bill. He does not own it. So, he should have the liberty to present it in the way that he feels because he also represents counties. He is a Member of the Senate. He cannot just come and talk as if he has not noticed anything wrong with the Bill from the National Assembly. He has every right to do so. view
• 13 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to object to the allocations proposed by the National Assembly in this Bill. Considering that the National Revenue is Kshs1.2 trillion and all we wanted, as the Senate, for the County is Kshs300billion, it is really a small percentage; 31 per cent. The functions that have been devolved to counties are many and very important, especially to the livelihood of our people. Health is very important and so is Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) and agriculture, which is the source of our livelihood. It is a right under our Constitution for our people ... view
• 9 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Considering that the Bill of Division of Revenue had earlier come to this House; the two Houses had disagreed and we have not been told what the final decision is. Without pre-empting debate on this matter and considering the time that we still have, what would happen in the event that we do not agree again with the two Houses? Would it not be in order that this matter is deliberated in a Kamukunji way initially so that some issues are ironed out before we formalise some of these matters? view
