• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: ‘The leadership of the House on behalf of the House will look at the membership of the Committee on Health and make recommendations on how this House can be more efficient in that Committee and report to the Speaker in two weeks of the recommendation’ view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you made this ruling after complaints of so many adjournments and report deadlines not being met. Further, you said that:- view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: “This matter is no longer being handled by this particular Committee because we will not want to perpetuate this delay further.” view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Those were the words of the Deputy Speaker in February 2019. From then on, the Committee on Health was available to give us a report on this matter. When the Committee on Health approached the SBC to be heard in camera, this happens rarely, we asked the members of staff to go away. The stories that they had to tell were not very good stories with the staff members around. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is for that reason that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. stated that if a Senator is on this list, he or she should not be part of the list that we will come up with later if you cannot make up your mind at the end of the day. I agree with the House especially the Senator for West Pokot because I have known him for a long time. He is not easily persuaded otherwise on matters of principle. In the name of accountability, when Sen. Wetangula crafted this Motion, he had already approached some Members ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, I would. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the distinguished Senator for Bungoma County has said is true. The same Members that he consulted were the ones who are saying that they must remain in the Committee. We therefore agreed to have membership from both the ad hoc Committee and the Committee that was in the Motion as originally crafted. We noticed that the ad hoc Committee was consisting of the same Members. It seems that the same people tend to be Members of ad hoc committees. That is a problem that we need to deal with because some people argued that there ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: committee will be constituted. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree entirely with the House on substance issue of membership. However, we did not want this matter to remain with the SBC. It was better to bring it here so that the Committee on Health would hear what people had to say. We have engaged them privately and in consultations so I am happy that they have heard it for themselves. I think that we should bring this issue in tomorrow’s Order Paper so that the ad hoc Committee can begin its work now instead of next week or the other ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Members of the Committee on Health would help us if they opt out of the Committee, so that we have an easy way of choosing those who will be in this committee, of course with consultations. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to follow you by thanking the leadership and the people Kitui in facilitating the Senate to have its second sitting outside Nairobi. For everybody who was here from Sunday – although I was not here from Sunday – I think it has been pleasant being here. Some matches were played yesterday. The Senate Majority Leader is not here; it would have been a wonderful thing for him to be here in the very first session, but he got injured. I talked to him a little bit earlier. Somebody ... view
