• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that The Food Security Bill (Senate Bill No.23 of 2014) be now read a Third Time. view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I join the Mover of this Motion, Sen. Wetangula, I want to urge all Senators present and every Kenyan of goodwill to stand and say that the teachers are asking for a just cause which was already approved. Most of what the teachers are asking for is contained in their Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). It is not something that has just been dropped from the blues. There is a difference between something that you are demanding and something that has already been programmed by law to be given. Madam Temporary Speaker, even the highest court in ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget for bringing this Motion which I support. This Motion seeks the Senate to approve the cash disbursement schedule for every county. From this schedule, my county is supposed to receive Kshs431 million by the end of July. I want every governor, county executive and county assembly to know that without the Senate no shilling whatsoever will be released to the county governments by the national Treasury, as indicated here. Therefore, if we delay passing this Motion, no money will be released to them. ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I join my colleagues in congratulating the Senate Majority Leader for bringing this Motion of Adjournment. Senators will visit their counties during recess time. Some of them will be sitting in Committees to handle issues of petitions. The Auditors-General’s reports for the last financial year have all come. I am not forgetting some of us from the North Rift who had problems of cattle rustling. This Session, Senators from the North Rift region decided to work together to fight the problem of cattle rustling head on, led by Sen. Moi, Sen. Leshore and myself. I can report ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to contribute to this Bill. I would like to thank hon.(Dr.) Otichilo who worked tirelessly to come up with this Bill which in essence will assist us in the area of climate change, having seen the effects that come as a result of not having this Bill or Act in place. I look at the Bill and see its objects and purposes have been stipulated in Clause 3. The Act shall be applied for the development, management, implementation and regulation of mechanisms to enhance climate change resilience and the law carbon development for the ... view

• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: My neighbour is Sen. Elachi. Did you hear her praising lady Senators and forgetting that we are also here? Is she in order? view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second the Community Land Bill (Senate Bill No 38 of 2014), which, as rightfully put, is supposed to effect Article 63(5) of the constitution, which says:- “Parliament shall enact legislation to give effect to this article.” This article talks about community land. This Bill is timely. Those who come from areas which were popularly referred to as marginalised areas, know that a small chunk of land is private or public. Most of it was trust land. Sometimes, parcels of land were catergorised as group ranches. Some clever people have abused this process by buying ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Energy. The statement relates to the frequent power blackouts in West Pokot County leading to massive loss of business, retarding development despite expectations that residents have had since the Turkwell-KenGen Power plant is situated in the county. In the statement, I would like the Chairperson to; (1) state the plans the Ministry has put in place to mitigate this problem; and, (2) state when constant power supply will be experienced in West Pokot County. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: That will be okay if we will not have gone on recess. I do not know what it will mean. However, one week is okay with me. I am hoping that the recess will not complicate the one week given by the emissary. view
