Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. This is the fourth time that we are dealing with the Division of Revenue Bill. It is notable that every year there is an increase of funds for both levels of Government; the national Government and county governments. The national Government has budgeted for the Committee on Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), whose term expired. We should not fund bodies that have wound up, like the Transition Authority (TA). Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have prominently seen the women affirmative action fund and CDF, which I thought should have disappeared. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join Sen. Obure in opposing this procedural Motion. This is for one very simple reason; when Sen. Obure speaks, we better listen. He is the longest serving member of athletics and sports teams. We should fast-track the business in the Order Paper and discuss the Anti-doping Bill. There is nothing that will stop us from doing so, immediately after this. That is why I oppose this procedural Motion. We should pass the Motion, discuss the Anti-doping Bill now, and clear it so that our athletes will be happy. The President who has been waiting can ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and tell you that we have many athletes that have migrated from West Pokot County to Nandi County. That is why Nandi and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties are a bit more famous than us. It is interesting that every other time an African nation excels, a new hurdle arrives. What is this thing called doping and where was it? I am a bit surprised because our athletes are natural, especially where I come from. When I look at the permanently slim lady called Tegla Loroupe who ran her whole life and you ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate. Lastly, when the CEO disagrees with the board, he can easily be removed. We need to relook at Clause 18 (1) (b). Somebody should not be sacked just because he is at loggerheads with his board. I support.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this mediated version of the Bill as presented ably by Sen. Wako, the Senator for Busia. As my colleagues have said, a lot of input has gone into it. We sent a good calibre of individuals to the Mediation Committee. I beg to support. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the citizen who has raised this issue. There are some regulations that are supposed to be followed by Government agencies particularly in parastatals. If it is true that if someone resigns and is appointed after three months, is it solicited or a priori? I think it is good to look at this petition and its merits. Mr. Speaker, Sir, almost two years ago, the Government passed a law whereby nobody is allowed to sit in a board if he or she is working with another Government agency. If you are moving from ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Elachi in order to input improper motive on any petition that may be brought here yet some may have some merit? She says any lady appointed to a key position in the Government should not be queried.
