• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to join my colleague in thanking Sen. Mositet for this timely Motion which reminds us about the duties of the national Government and the county governments as clearly stipulated in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. Even somebody who does not know how to read and write can understand that maintenance of roads in the counties must be performed by county governments. Although the Act that was generated in 2007 established KeRRA, many roads that were supposed to be done by KeRRA have not been done and yet in every county, there exists a ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, aware that in the African context elders popularly referred to as ‘ wazee wa mtaa ’ have a special place and they are highly respected; appreciating their work in supplementing the work of Chiefs in matters of administration at the locational and village levels; concerned that no form of structured payment is given to them for the services they render; the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to give tribute and thanks to my colleague Senators for speaking to this Motion. As we noted, this is a very timely Motion because we need to redeem our culture and the usage of the wisdom of the old people who live among us. We also note in this Motion that it is not only the men who are supposed to be working with the chiefs as wazee wa mtaa, but also women. You may also note that in some locations and villages, even persons as young as 30 years could be identified among ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to thank my colleague and the Government for the response that has been given. However, there are some aspects that did not come out clearly, especially with regard to the first medium term plan which was supposed to be for five years and which ended last year. In Vision 2030, Industrialisation was supposed to be the key driver if we were to move from a Third World Country to a Middle Income Economy by 2030. Some key development agendas were supposed to have been done. For example, agro-based industries were supposed to be set ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek to know why the targets envisaged were not achieved. Lastly, now that we have counties operating under a devolved system of Government, I had asked whether there are plans to have 47 small units of the Vision 2030, so that these issues are addressed and, in the process, ensure that the Vision is anchored in every county. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank my colleague for giving us a very detailed presentation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether you are in the same category as me. Anytime I go to the county and hold a meeting, all the old people in that meeting stand and ask: “When will we be paid our stipend that the Government approved?” They show you an example of one of them who gets this money and looks healthier than the rest. I think that this programme is very healthy because it is like we are caring for ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I see that this Equalisation Fund issue is raising a lot of attention, but I do not know whether we have read this paragraph in the Constitution very well. I can read it for everybody. It reads:- “The National Government shall use the Equalisation Fund only to provide basic services including water”. You have to count the pipes and their inches and then you come and compare, measure the length of roads that are tarmacked in your county before you talk. You count also the number of health facilities that somebody can walk in and get ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I stand, I want to thank all my colleagues who have spoken to this Motion and given all their valuable comments. They have supported this Motion so that parties can be funded as envisaged in the Constitution under the Political Parties Act. The formula that my colleagues have raised is something that we need to look at. We cannot look at the numbers of people who voted for individuals. We would rather look at the people who have been elected. We should check the number of Senators we The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, aware of the crucial role played by the National Police Service in the provision of security to citizens; further aware that the number of police officers in the Service currently is way below the ideal number required to effectively cover all areas in Kenya to provide adequate security to Kenyans; appreciating the Government’s efforts to supplement the services of police officers with police reservists, especially in areas prone to cattle rustling; concerned that in spite of the immense contribution towards national security by the reservists, no form of compensation is given to ... view
