Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to give a brief background to the Report. The Governor of Nairobi City County, Dr. Evans Kidero, lodged a complaint with the Speaker of the Senate regarding events that took place during a sitting of the County ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I highlight, let me mention the three areas that we needed to inquire into:- (a) Whether the allegations made by the Gov. Kidero against Sen. Mbuvi in relation to the meeting held on 15th June, 2016 were substantiated; (b) That if the allegation were found to have been substantiated, whether the allegation constituted a breach of the Standing Orders; and (c) The appropriate recommendation to make, including its applicable disciplinary action to be taken. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as you have guided, I want to say that the Committee, the RBC, the Senate Business Committee ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary, Speaker Sir, is Sen. Muthama in order to mislead us by sayingthat the Head of State looked hopeless. The Head of State was addressing his heads of department on site. It was privileged information that we were not supposed to have got. He was bold enough to ask the question when all of us were watching. He was not addressing us. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to laud the three residents from Nyamira for being bold enough to raise pertinent issues regarding public funds and expenditure in their counties. We, as a Senate, wonder why there is delay of releasing oversight funds to us because this would have helped the Senator for Nyamira County to notice such anomalies a long time ago. It is a pity that it is left to the citizens to raise those happenings in the counties. It is surprising that a county government purports to buy cows to give to the poor people while they take them ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in some instances, work that is supposed to be done in the next five years has already commenced without proper budget. This is chaos being witnessed. I laud the petitioners and we should encourage county citizens to be alert like them. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairperson for bringing the response today, although it is several months late. I am surprised by the way the Chairperson has attempted to respond. He has evaded most of the questions that I asked. I asked about the secondary schools and TTCs in the entire Republic, but he has only concentrated on the TTCs. The practice today is that all secondary schools are demanding full payment of fees in the first term irrespective of where the students come from. He has not stated clearly whether there is a policy on the same. ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson is not coming out very clearly. In this Statement, we asked about schools and colleges. Nowadays we do not have headmasters. We have principals for schools and training technical institutes (TTCs). I asked him to explain whether the Ministry is aware that most school principals and college principals demand full payment of fees. In the response, the Chairperson only says that as far as TTCs are concerned, the Ministry is aware that some principals demand full payment of fees at the beginning of the term. I do not know what he is trying to do ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, very relevant. Why is he evading to talk about the nerve centre where parents are about to suffer in January by being asked to pay full fees at once instead of three times in a year, which is legal?

• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is Sen. Karaba in order to imagine that he is the only one who has ever been a headmaster in this House? If it is true, his experience is very old. I do not know when he was a head teacher last. It may be 30 years The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
