• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while we have exhausted that issue and voted, let me just raise a concern. This House is not being given adequate time to debate on an issue of allocation of resources that is as important as this one. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Right from the word go when consultations began up to now, we have not been given time. This Senate does not have another opportunity to interrogate the allocation of resources since the Constitution does not allow us to discuss the appropriations. This was the only opportunity for us to interrogate the BPS. It seems that we are being denied the opportunity because hardly anybody really debated on the substance of this Report. We only debated the amendment, but not the actual substance. There are so many issues hidden in this budget which we wanted to go through. view
• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendment. When there are figures which clearly stipulate the correct situation, it is not right to use an assumed figure. In this case, the average growth rate in revenue over three or even four years is 13 per cent and this is scientific. However, in this report, we are told that the Treasury is using a conservative figure of 7.9 per cent. I do not know whether there is, therefore, an intention by the Ministry concerned to slacken in revenue collection. We The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for that. However, the fact is that even in the Constitution and its spirit, the basis of any division of revenue between the national and county governments would be the growth of revenue. It does not talk about economic growth and so forth that is being introduced now. That factor is not there. By using 7.9 per cent, there is, therefore, a likelihood that the stage is being set so that an agreement will come up to say, the proposal of Kshs302 billion to counties carries the day because of that figure. We should ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think the answer given to me is not satisfactory. First, we are told that the design is so scientific and technical that it takes five years to arrive at. I think there is nothing so technical in designing a currency. Public participation is something we have always done and it can be done within a week. Instead of apologizing for the delay, matters are being made worse when it is said that it was because of technical reasons. I think we should be given enough reasons and not the reason they have given us. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, at the Senate sitting held on 10th February, 2016, Sen. Obure requested for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the status of tea The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: I am almost through. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for Imperial Bank, it was Kshs2,926,365,091; Family Bank, Kshs3,905,389,153; and Chase Bank, Kshs4,475,289,153. The total is Kshs27,093,433,144. Deposit placement is done as and when funds become available from the trading teas and interest rates offered by the banks determines which bank gets the deposit based on competitive. It was unfortunate that Imperial Bank was put under receivership when preparations to pay final payments to farmers were in top gear. The Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) management services limited was able to release the farmers payment on 23rd October, 2015 and use money earmarked for other obligations ... view
