• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he has obeyed you. Our Senate Majority and Minority Leaders have done a lot. They have called meetings so as to sit together with our colleagues in order to move this country forward. They want to disable the Senate. If they have their own issues with the Senate based on the competition that they seem to have, this is not the right forum. I ask my colleagues to be vigilant. If there is anything that we need to do, we should do it. We went to court in 2013. There is no harm in repeating it ... view
• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion. However, I have the same reservation as my neighbour Sen. 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 view
• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I mean is that we have a lot of work pending that requires the attention of this House. These Bills are touching on counties and the challenges they have today. One example is that governors are involved in the nomination exercise and they are using Government machinery including buying refreshments for their campaign. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, who is the Leader of the Majority, has no capacity to buy tea anywhere. These are the things that we need to pay attention to so that we move forward. Indeed, it is true that although there is a ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join you in recognising the presence of the nine youths from Kakamega County who have come to learn and see what we do here on their behalf. Their Senator, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who also calls himself a bullfighter is one of the most brilliant Senators around - although they buy those cows from West Pokot. I encourage them to become more vigilant now that we are devolved. Kakamega County is the only county that has a distinction of refusing to appear before the Senate to answer to their audit queries on how they have spent ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I note that the request by Sen. Wetangula would have been appropriately handled by the leadership of this House. I do not remember when I last saw some of the leaders of this House seated here, to the extent that we are talking about work that should have been conducted by the leadership. Where is the Senate Majority Leader? They should be looked for. These are the people who should see to it that this work is done. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The questioner requested me to sit and prosecute it on his behalf. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Vice Chairperson and the Committee Chairperson for giving the response to this statement, however brief it is. Sen. Sang, just as many of us here, listened to the plight of the former councillors and their requests. This House, in its wisdom, unanimously supported it and the petition which I tabled here then. The Committee has interrogated it and they have told us what happened. However, we wanted to hear more about the County Pension Scheme Bill; the stage in which it is and whether the former councillors have been considered in it. We ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did I hear the Member of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare indicating that I should follow the political route? Could he elaborate what she meant by “political route”? view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Kenyans, particularly those affected - the councilors - could easily think that the solution to this problem lies and has been suppressed by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. Why? The Chairperson has said I was advised to do it and I have not come back to give a response. That is why I wanted that clarified. What does it mean? view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: On a point of Order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
