• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the Movers of this Bill, Sen. Sakaja and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., I request that the Division be deferred. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, as I speak today, there are some Committees which cannot meet, one of them being the Committee for Devolved Governments and Intergovernmental Relations. In fact, it has been more than one and a half months since they had a proper meeting. There are many other Committees which are suffering from quorum issues such that if one Member does not attend then the Committee cannot raise a quorum. So, we want to resolve this business, once and for all. One of the things which I want to point out is that we want to have a very candid ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: One of the issues to be resolved should be that if you are in the leadership like I am, you should not be a Chairperson of a Committee. As a general rule, you should not be. It becomes very difficult for a Member in CPAIC to be in three other Committees. That is also raising issues. Unless we want Members to just go to those Committees and log in and out which is not good enough. Finally, Committees are constituted by the House. The Senate Business Committee (SBC) can only give suggestions. We saw the last time when we tried ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: I will be very brief. I want the Mover to have some time, at least today, to reply. Now that I will not really have time to go to the body of the Statute or Bill, I am happy to say that looking at the kind of disasters that we tend to have--- There are natural, manmade or hybrid disasters, which willy-nilly are sometimes tough to eliminate. There is need all the time for proper planning for disaster management to reduce its impact on our lives as well as our properties. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, looking at the Bill, both from the point of view that for a proper disaster management to be put into effect, planning is required. It is required in the sense that there should be preparation, which requires the Government, the people and civic bodies to be always prepared to meet disasters. They must have knowledge about what to do when a disaster happens. There is need for preparedness if you read the Bill properly. This is one of the things that the Bill is trying to do, not only in terms of planning, but also being ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I speak to this only because on Tuesday, when the matter came before the Chamber, I was here and there were separate Motions for committees and the panel. The Motion regarding the panel went through. That is why Sen. Kinyua was sitting on the Chair yesterday. I assure you that had we moved with the Motion in respect of other committees, including the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, it would have been shot down. I could see the sense of difficulty. It is not that Senators were malicious. There were some legitimate concerns that were raised. ... view
