• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to join my colleagues in congratulating the Head of State for the manner in which he decided to address the anxiety and all the confusion that was almost to arise as a result of the summon that he received. Acknowledging this, he quoted Article 132 of the Constitution that provides him such a time to address Parliament. For that reason, he was not there as an intruder. He came legally in the House in order to give a speech and address the nation on any matter that may be of interest. He ... view

• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard the Chairperson give a detailed answer, but I thought last time we asked that every Senator be furnished with a detailed distribution per county. I have not been given my copy. The second clarification is; he has talked about 30 per cent going to every constituency. I am surprised to hear that because I have evidence here of a ward called Seker which has 300 elderly people, but only 10 have received the stipend, I think that response is not truly right. The Chairperson should go back and come with a detailed response so that ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to ride on the same Statement that Sen. Munyes has sought, but to further state that Turkana County has a shortage of not less than 2,000 primary school teachers. This is similar to West Pokot County. We have a staggering shortage of not less than 2,000 teachers. Worst of all, these are the schools that are around the border of the two counties where you have one teacher teaching class one to class eight. No wonder we have this occasional cattle rustling because of lack of teachers in schools. Could the Chairman bring a list ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether it is I and Janet who are not reading this issue properly. This Motion is asking the Senate to adjourn and alter the calendar of regular sessions so that we go away for 21 days to intervene in the reconciliation process in the two counties. I do not know whether the Mover of this Motion wrote it properly. Is he saying that the Senate, as a whole, will move to Makueni, transact business in Makueni, finish and move to Isiolo, transact business and come back? We ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion that has been brought by Sen. Adan. I am aware that Sen. (Dr.) Kuti is out of the country, but is also aware of this Motion. This means that this is a problem that is known by all the leadership in Isiolo. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also do not understand when the Motion says:- “The Senate directs the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government to expeditiously inquire into the matter.” Are we saying that the usual procedure that was supposed to have been done by the county assembly of petitioning ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this was supposed to be the work of the Committee initially. We are not supposed to tell them what to do. If they fail, we will ask this House to appoint a Special Committee to deal seriously with the problem in Isiolo County. It looks like these are the challenges that we should expect from the many other counties in the days to come. As the Senate, we need to address these issues, because it is our work. We represent the counties, as indicated here the Constitution. Article 1 (3) of the Constitution reads:- “Sovereign power ... view
• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government concerning the need or failure by officials of various county governments to observe laid down government regulations regarding use of government vehicles. The Chairperson should explain:- (i) Why regulations requiring that Government vehicles be parked in the nearest police station from 6.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. are not being adhered to. (ii) Why some county government vehicles are being used for purposes other than what they are authorized to be used for and why many of them are being parked near ... view
• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to ask if the Chairperson is a lawyer. I am concerned with the failure of the Government not to have 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
• 22 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources relating to the destruction of indigenous trees for charcoal burning in the North Rift region; West Pokot, Turkana, Baringo and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties. In the statement, I request the Chairperson to:- 1. State whether he is aware that there is a new trade that has replaced cattle rustling in the North Rift, along Kerio River, particularly in Kolowa Ward, neighbouring Tot in Marakwet and Chesegon in West Pokot in the form of destruction of indigenous trees for ... view
