• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to join in supporting this Motion of Adjournment and in doing so, I realize that we are starting the Easter holiday and, therefore, I wish all Kenyans a happy Easter. It is also a planting season and, therefore, I wish farmers the best despite the challenges caused by the weather; the rains seem not to be adequate. I would like to call upon all agencies of Government to support the farmers. Seed and fertilizer should be availed in good time. It is a very sad day today that once again we have lost ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to the President’s Speech. From the outset, I want to thank the President for this catalogue of good intentions that the Government intends to achieve. When we look at the economic sector, there are quite some achievements, but I hope that the President will also listen to what we, in Parliament, are saying and incorporate some of the views in the programmes and policies that the Government is implementing. We have noted impressive improvements in the energy sector with a growth of 31 per cent in generation; most of ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ceilings are always not a very popular subject because they limit certain issues. We cannot, therefore, expect that the county governments will be pleased for being subjected to ceilings. The reality is that resources are always limited and there must be ceilings. Even at the national level, there have always been ceilings in the various Ministries, Government agencies and even the overall Budget. It is not a new thing to put ceilings to expenditure by the county governments. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, perhaps the only area of argument is whether the ceilings for the county assemblies ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you know, next week, we will be going on recess. Once we go on recess without settling this issue, Narok will burn. Is it possible for you to lay it on the Table on Tuesday next week before we go for recess? view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the high level food security workshop held on 5th to 8th June 2014. 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
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thought I had requested to contribute to this Bill. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to the debate on this Bill. Looking at the Bill, drought is an issue that deserves all the attention because it affects a big portion of this country. Drought and other weather phenomena are equally important. Since there are so many issues concerning climate that are affecting the country and in view of the fact that there is need to collapse functions to one Authority, I would think that if this Bill was expanded, so that its functions capture the other climate change phenomena, it would go a long ... view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this petition will give the Senate ample opportunity to look into what is happening because the stoppage of the transmissions by local companies, coming close to the recent Security Bills, has painted a negative image of the country; that, perhaps, we are not so friendly to the investors or the media. We want to know exactly why it has become urgent for media stations to migrate. We also need to understand the implications of the digital migration to the consumers. Will it involve additional costs or will the consumers enjoy the services free as they used to? ... view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I support this Bill that seeks to reinforce values and principles in the public service. As I support it, I must say it is a bit late; it should have come right at the beginning of the implementation of the Constitution when counties were being established. This is because where we are now, there are so many issues that have arisen that bring to question the values and principles of officials in the county governments. Nonetheless, it is important that we have these values because they, not only impact on behaviour, ... view
