• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Petition was requesting for a special intervention and this Report has been awaited for a long time, the Committee has been indulged on several occasions. The patient was breathing when this matter went to the Committee, now the patient is dead. We are planning for the funeral and then they are going to come with recommendations that should be applied to a living patient when we are already burying the patient. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: I hope that the indulgence that was going to be given to that Committee will be accompanied by an apology because, many places I have gone to, governors keep on asking about this Petition in relation to their own situations. So, I hope since this is the Committee on Health, and anything relating to health must be handled expeditiously. I agree with you that they should be given time so that we look at that Report they will table before the House. I hope that Report is going to revive the patient because the patient is already dead. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This Motion is being moved in an amended form. Whereas that is regular, we do not have a copy of the amended Motion nor has it been posted out there. I think now we have gone digital. For us to have the full tenure--- In fact, we are hearing her talk about the amendments that are being brought at this late hour today as the Motion is being moved. I was straining to hear the reason those amendments are being brought today without notice. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Although that may be justifiable, could I be in order to ask for that amended Motion either in hard or soft copy to be made available so that we do not speak to a Motion whose notice was not even given? The Motion is in the Order Paper. However, what she is moving is an amended version of the Motion. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: If I heard her correctly, the full tenure of that amendment is not inconsequential. Would I be in order even for the people who will come to contribute to this Motion that as it is being moved now be available in one form or another because anybody coming into the House now will be debating the wrong Motion? view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: No, no, what I heard is something very drastic, not small. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if I heard her properly--- In fact, I am not delaying. I am coming with guns blazing. I have just started. The effect of the amendment to that Motion must be borne out by the Report itself. If that is the truth, then the amendment needed consideration by the Committee to move or table an amended Report which is signed. This is because the original Motion is accurate in so far as the recommendations are concerned. I have looked at the recommendations and the original Motion is in accord with them. However, what she is now moving ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, she is now just gotten into the landmine. If you look at the report, the matrix on recommendations says Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation should do this. However, but when it comes to the CS, the National Treasury and Planning, it is very damning. It says he should take full responsibility as CS, National Treasury. In regard to the other CSs and the people who are in the Inter-Ministerial Committee, the Committee made general recommendations and observations. However, when it comes to the question of responsibility, the Report puts that squarely on one person ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Look at this matrix and you will find what you are trying to do is giving a general cover to somebody you have already trailed your guns at. Whether your evidence supports that position, I do not know. However, you should be faithful to the Report and not try to introduce amendments to it by amending the Motion. view
