• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: right as Nairobi. On that one, I am glad that with the document coming out on Thursday, Nairobians will have proper devolution. The President spoke about a holistic base of human capital that is food secure which is important. The frontier of this country’s economy is if we focus on value addition. Agriculture which is 33 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is only producing 3 per cent of revenue. This tells you that there is much to be desired. Once we look at the entire value chain of agriculture, if we are serious, we will not have ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, over the years, the last audited revenues were way back. Sen. M. Kajwang’ together with the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee have helped and brought it closer. This year we gave counties Kshs316 billion, which was 23 per cent. It was the minimum of 35 per cent counties could have gotten Kshs473.5 billion which is a plus and that is why we support BBI 100 per cent. Let us listen to everybody, but support the gains we have made. I ask Members to be pragmatic and positive. I thank the President for giving that exposition on ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the Senate Majority Whip that the proportional representation that he is talking about is not proposed in the BBI Report. Proportional representation is when it is purely based on those lists, so you vote for the party. We have both single member constituencies and the proportional representation. For purpose of record, Sen. Kang’ata is right by half. He should just call it MMPR and not pure proportional representation. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This has nothing to do with what Sen. Wambua is saying. The Senate Business Committee, where I sit, resolved that this item will only appear on the Order Paper today, because we are only meeting once a week and we have only two other days before we go on the long recess. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason that I have been asking for an opportunity is, unless we ask for an extension before 6.00 p.m., the Members who are here who have been waiting might not get an opportunity at all. The Clerks-at-the-Table will confirm that you. That is why it is important to be listening to us. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Members here have been taking notes and they want to contribute, so if we do not ask for an extension, in as much as you can overrule Standing Order No.24, I am sure that it will not be on the Order Paper next Tuesday, based on the ruling made by the substantive Speaker. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate, today, Wednesday 11th November, 2020- Report of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on a Petition to the Senate concerning the rounding up, dentition, transfer and dumping of street children by the Nakuru County Government. As is tradition, kindly allow me to give salient features of this Petition because the report is not discussed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Petition was presented to the Senate on 27th February, 2019 by the newly wed, Sen. Susan Kihika, Senator for Nakuru County. The Speaker further ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we met virtually with the Gov. Lee Kinyanjui, the Governor of Nakuru County, who denied that such an incident occurred despite the fact being on the face of the matter. We made arrangements for a site visit to Nakuru County. We had planned to meet the county commissioner, the county assembly, the Committee in charge of children welfare, the county government and the petitioners. During the Site visit, the County Commissioner informed me that he was new in office and had no information. This is more than a year after. The county assembly and the Governor did ... view
