• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am aware that Trans Nzoia County is not connected. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this important Bill. Natural resources have, up to now, not benefited communities that reside within the areas where resources are exploited. When I refer to resources, what comes to my mind are forests, minerals, water, wildlife and even fisheries. It is not fair, equitable, and it is contrary to the Constitution for some people or organisations to continue exploiting resources which belong to other people without giving them any form of compensation or support. Where some of the resources are located, the communities have suffered historical injustices. For ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the same, I would wish that when he comes, he also comes with the ages of each one of them because there are those who are younger and are receiving money, while those who are “almost being called” are not receiving any money.

• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence because the answer to this Statement is not ready. It will be ready on Wednesday next week. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. At the Senate sitting held on 17th February, 2015, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo rose under Standing Order No.45 to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the closure of livestock markets by the Director of Veterinary Services in West Pokot County on 15th January, 2015, because of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease affecting cows. The Senator wanted to know; one, whether the Chairperson is aware that the closure has adversely affected parents, because they were unable to take their children to secondary schools, especially Form ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the effects of the ban or the effects of the disease on the community. In the event that it has reached a disaster level, it can be addressed by both the county and national governments. This is because disasters are a function of both the county and national governments. I believe that the county government is in a position, through its budgetary process, to allocate adequate funds to meet such requirements in addition to what it provides as bursaries for the needy students. This is a matter for the county government to look ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate that West Pokot County has been affected by foot and mouth disease, I know Trans-Nzoia has been affected more than West Pokot County. There is a section in West Pokot County which has not been affected by this disease. The whole of Trans-Nzoia and many other counties have been affected by foot and mouth disease. So, the problem of foot and mouth disease is more widespread than it is. When we talk about fertilizer, West Pokot is also an agricultural county and got the subsidized fertilizer. In fact, they even got--- view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: In fact, they even got Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer. However, for the first time in history, Trans-Nzoia has been discriminated against and has not got any DAP fertilizer as I am talking today. It is unfortunate because rains are just around the corner. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We, as the Senate, are the protectors of counties. We do so through our oversight function, but without expert audit reports, this function cannot be performed. It is high time that the audit does not become an annual ritual so that it is only done after expenditure. There should be a continuous process of auditing. It should be a performance audit that the Auditor-General audits right from the time that the first batch of the money is released so that they are in touch. There is also need for the Auditor-General to realize that he ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Bill and to thank Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o for bringing it in a timely way. Harambees or public fundraisings have been a noble idea. They have helped us out of many situations in the past and will continue to do so. Many people, in one way or another, in needy The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
