• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir for the opportunity to say something. The issue that we are discussing here of a complementary, I think if it had been handled differently, we would not have had all this. Electronic systems fail and when they do not work, we may revert to the manual system. During the last elections, the electronic system refused to show my name until they went to the manual back up and they went to the Biometric Voter Register (BVR) and I finally voted after eight hours. I think the choice of the word “complementary” is what is bringing ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Committee to involve county assemblies and executives in public participation to ensure that their views are also taken into--- view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree and support your decision that this matter should be brought up again for a re-vote. Is it in order that where there are issues to be straightened, amendments are made before the final decision is made? I do not know whether under these circumstances amendments can be entertained. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join you in welcoming this team led by the hon. Sakaja, a young man who is also my constituent. He is also my Chairman in the Joint Committee on Cohesion and Equal Opportunities. Indeed, this is a demonstration of his commitment to bring about cohesion in this country. He has played a big role in ensuring that communities which have sometimes been disagreeing live in harmony. By coming here, he has demonstrated that he values harmony between the two Houses of Parliament. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Having looked at the listed statements, my Statement on county government funds held in closed Imperial, Dubai and Chase banks is not appearing yet the Speaker had directed that it would be responded to this week. We are coming towards the end of the week and I am not seeing it. I wish that you would direct that it be answered today. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Statement is unsatisfactory because it does not answer all the questions that I had asked. I asked whether there was authorization for depositing the money in the bank, instead of it being used to meet the purposes for which it was allocated for by the Government and the measures that the counties are taking. The Chairperson has said that he has not been able to get answers from the counties. I sought this Statement in April this year. Ministries which are not devolved units normally respond to questions. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am entitled to seek clarifications. The counties are answerable to the Senate and they cannot run away from answering to the Senate. They are independent from the national Government, but the Constitution provides the counties must answer to the Senate. Why are the counties refusing to answer queries asked by Senate in accordance with its mandate in the Constitution? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the answers are not adequate. I do not understand why the funds that my county had for bursaries were held in an account, instead of being disbursed directly to students. I am ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to seek another clarification. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, the Chairperson sought this answer initially from the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the national Treasury and the Controller of Budget and they were not able to give an answer. The Controller of Budget and the National Treasury are supposed to control all the funds and know where each county has put the funds. Does this mean that the Government does not know where counties put their money? It is a dangerous situation if the national Government, the National Treasury and the Central Bank of Kenya do not know where public funds are kept. We had to ... view
