• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion for Adjournment. Although the recess is short, it is worth taking so that we can visit our counties. You will hear very many things in the counties like I have already read in the digital version of newspapers. County governors are now saying that there is no need for them to go to nomination for political parties tickets. Instead, they want a direct ticket. I do not know whether Sen. Elachi is hearing this. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: You are right. If it is the one, that is good riddance. They can move to that one and we remain in ours. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Head of State will tomorrow give the State of the Nation Address. We know there have been challenges. One key challenge from the region I come from, the North Rift and Rift Valley in general is the provision of fertilizer for farmers. It is a big challenge and I hope he will also talk about it. I hope that the relevant Ministries and officers handling this matter will fast-track the distribution of ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to request Sen. Ntutu, who is also a Member of the Committee to give us two weeks. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in expressing gratitude to the Mediation Committee that was co-chaired by Sen. Kivuti and Hon. Amina Abdallah of the National Assembly. This is a key Bill in Kenya today because it focuses itself on prudent management of our natural wealth found within our counties. Article 96(1) of the Constitution of Kenya stipulates the role of the Senate. It says:- “The Senate represents the counties, and serves to protect the interests of the counties and their governments.” One such key interest that we must protect diligently, whole heartedly, is the availability of God-given ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second The County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2014) which proposes to give functions and powers to offices that were created by the Constitution of 2010 that seemingly are not coordinated very well in practice today. As the Mover has mentioned, we have the two offices; one of them is the office of the deputy speaker which is not clearly stipulated in law and the other one is the office of the deputy governor which is indicated and properly put down. However, in practice today, the most misunderstood position which has ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is real and not drama. It looks like a movie. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: It is very true. They timed when the deputy governor had taken his car to a car wash. Then, they drove another one at high speed to knock it. It was like the police were told to be on standby and they towed it away. That is exactly what they did. So, you will really be shocked about what happens. Some of them, like I heard of the case of my colleague, Sen. Kembi-Gitura, got out, locked the door and pretended to be doing repairs. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am updated very much about what is happening in some counties that I am authoritatively in a position to say “some.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can quote a number of them because there are very many. That really happens the moment there is a dispute. Two weeks ago when there were campaigns in Malindi, we saw in the newspapers – whether genuine or not – what happened to the Deputy Governor for Mombasa. They sent askaris to go and take her car.

• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not get the Statement. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: I have a neighbour here who says she will not disturb me again. view
