• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to contribute to this important Motion. From the outset, I am very uncomfortable with the criteria because despite the fact that the CRA has been there for two years, it does not seem to have changed the criteria substantially, especially to conform with the requirements of the Constitution. The Constitution requires that in arriving at the criteria, the following items must be looked at as indicated in Article 203(d) of the Constitution, which states:- “The need to ensure that county governments are able to perform the functions allocated to them.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that I cannot justify, perhaps, why one county should get three times more than any other county. Even if we are talking about equalization and addressing poverty issues, I cannot understand why Trans Nzoia, for instance, can get half of what another county is getting. We are also aware that the population census that was carried out had a lot of questions. Therefore, relying merely on population would be unfair. We should reduce the weight that we give to population and increase the weight that we give to equal share to every county ... view
• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Senators to say that Senators sat in Naivasha and approved the formula while the fact is that the CRA was just there to collect views? Some of our views, especially those that I gave were not considered. view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank my neighbour, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, for this Bill. Indeed, it is the KPRs who have kept the peace that we are enjoying on the border between Trans Nzoia and West Pokot. I would only want to add that when it comes to recruitment, priority should be given to those who are already performing the duty for free so that it is not just a free for all; the existing ones should be given priority. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in most cases, these KPRs have been working with the chiefs. I hope that ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank the Senator for Nyandarua County for coming up with this Bill that seeks to regulate and develop the potato industry. The potato is a very important food crop. As I speak, it is the number two staple food for Kenyans. Unlike the other crops which are of less importance, the potato industry, for a long time, has not had a regulatory framework. Opportunities in this area have not, therefore, been exploited to the full. By coming up with a Bill that seeks to regulate the industry, we shall be standing ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding supply of Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer by the Government. The Statement should:- (1) Specify how much DAP fertilizer the Government has supplied this year for sale to farmers at subsidized prices. (2) State the amount of fertilizer that has been allocated to each county and indicate how much has been supplied to each National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depot. (3) State if the Ministry is aware that no DAP fertilizer has been supplied to the Kitale ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended- (a) In sub clause (1) of the proposed new section 2A by deleting the words “Fertilizer Board of Kenya” and substituting therefore the words “Fertilizer and Animal Foodstuffs Board of Kenya”. 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
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be deleted and substituted therefore by the following new Clause- 10. Section 16 of the principal Act is amended by deleting the words “one thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month and for a second or subsequent offence to a fine not exceeding three thousand shillings” and substituting therefore the words “five hundred thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month, and for a second or subsequent offence to a fine not exceeding one million shillings”. Mr. ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (b) in the definition of the word “Board” by deleting the words “Fertilizer Board of Kenya” and substituting therefor the words “Fertilizer and Animal Foodstuffs Board of Kenya”. Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, this amendment proposes to rename the proposed Fertilizer Board of Kenya to be the “Fertilizer and Animal Foodstuffs Board of Kenya”. This is because the Board is intended to regulate both fertilizers and animal foodstuffs. view
