• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I support the further amendment because that would ensure that the counties get what will enable them to operate. Mr. Chairman, Sir, we had earlier seen that what the counties will be getting is about 22 per cent. Basing it on the 2009/2010, I see a danger or constitutional crisis when the figures are audited and it is shown that, in fact, they were much higher. We might end up in a situation where the counties were actually given less than 15 per cent. Mr. Chairman, Sir, the figures that were declared by the Cabinet ... view

• 13 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the united people of Trans Nzoia County and my delegation, I vote yes on count “a,” yes on count “b” and yes on count “c.” view
• 26 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to seek further clarification in respect of this very important document. A birth certificate is very important for various purposes. Identity cards, passports and marriage certificates are also very important. When will the Government consider establishing offices at the devolved levels? The Constitution talks about the Provincial Administration conforming to with devolution. This should now be devolved to the ward level and there should be one office whereby birth certificates, identity cards, passports and even marriage certificates and company registration can be done. This has been done in other countries. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion and to thank Prof. Lesan for bringing this idea and Sen. Khaniri for enriching it. The people we are talking about; the elderly, are the ones who looked after us. We are talking about Kenyans who built this country to the point that we are today. We have teachers, farmers, farm workers in Trans Nzoia and elsewhere who have fed this nation for very many years and our armed forces personnel who have risked their lives to secure this country both from within and without. We are talking ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the hon. Senator to say that the refinery could not have been placed in Lamu because of the ecology and he wants it to be in Isiolo? Is there no ecology in Isiolo County to be taken care of? view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I start by joining in thanking the Committee for the good work done. Listening to the debate on this issue, there have been very good contributions. I believe the Committee is taking notes to enrich the report. Ports everywhere in the world have the potential of growing economies, creating wealth and employment. There are countries which could not be states if they had no ports. You cannot talk about Dubai, Singapore and Amsterdam without the ports. The Port of Mombasa has the potential to double the growth of our economy. If we harness the port ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to end by saying that I support this Motion. view
• 18 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion of adjournment. This is because for the last six or so days, students in the public universities, have not been attending classes. It appears that there is not much being done either by the Government or the university administration to sort out the matter. This Motion has come at the right time. We, as a Senate, must express our concern not because this is a devolved function, but since it involves students across the country, it is of national interest. We should discuss the matter with the aim of finding ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Majority Leader has indicated that in future, those Bills will be coming to the two Houses. But as we know, the Government operates with records; in this case, circulars. Would I be in order to request that the highest office issues circulars to all cabinet secretaries and all those concerned with a copy to the Senate and the National Assembly, stating this position clearly? view
