• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree with my colleagues that the Chairman needs to bring a detailed response. The statement says that these pending bills are based on the annual financial reports prepared by the county treasuries. This is not a true reflection in some counties. The people we suspect to have misappropriated county funds are the ones submitting the reports. I expected the Office of the Controller of Budget to prepare this report, rather than relying on the reports written by the county executive committee members and governors. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for seeking this statement. The CoG has been in existence for nearly four years now. The relevant committee in this House has not received any report. I am a Member of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. We have not received any report at all. They have even employed staff there. Is the money they are spending their own donations or part of the money allocated to them every year? We need every detail pertaining to the operations of the CoG fund. Where is their office located? The ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, further to what my neighbour has asked, could the Chairperson of the Committee also tabulate the counties that have bought fire extinguishing machines and list the counties that have not purchased them? Since we have been discussing about pending bills, are some of them related to the purchase of these machines? Lastly, it is sad that we are hearing of fires in some schools. Could the Chairperson also tell us some of the common sources of these fires, so that the Senate can address them adequately? I wish to console my neighbour, Sen. Murkomen, because the ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was not a student of Alliance High School, but I have been a parent at a neighbouring school, Alliance Girls High School since 2008. There is a famous phrase which they use. They say; “they are going across.” I do not know what “across” means. It might mean these young men here. I commend the school for keeping the education standards high. They are always at the top. Many schools in the Republic benchmark with Alliance Boys’ High School. We welcome you. My neighbour here is your Senator. We always look up to all of ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Mover of this Bill has gone into details. I have been listening keenly; he is not considering the functions of the national Government and county governments as outlined in the Constitution. Function No.22 concerning the national Government states:- “Protection of the environment and natural resources with a view to establishing a durable and sustainable system of development, including in particular- (a) Fishing, hunting, gathering;” For the County governments, Part 2 (1)(e) states:- “The functions and powers of the county are– (e) fisheries.” It is written in bold. The presentation of ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Mover is doing it very well. However, he was reading something else. He should have thoroughly looked at the Constitution, so that he can advise the promoter of the Bill to---. I know we will introduce amendments but I am worried by the way he is moving it as though nobody is paying attention to that. He wants to allow the national Government to return functions through the back door. view
