• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply. view
• 13 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion for adjournment. Indeed, as the Senate Minority Leader has said, this is the singular most important role of the Senate. As you all know, we have taken a lot of time within the Committee. This was the second or the third Kamukunji we have had. If you note what happened this morning, you can see that we are moving towards a good direction. When such a decision is made, I am glad that I have heard Senators thinking about other counties and not just theirs. The softening from those ... view
• 13 Jul 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Will it be in order to take you back to Standing Order No. 62(1) that talks about amendments to Motions? It provides that- “Unless otherwise provided in these Standing Orders, any amendment to a Motion which a Senator wishes to propose may be moved and, if necessary, seconded at any time after the question upon the Motion has been proposed and before it has been put.” view
• 13 Jul 2020 in Senate: The concern that has been raised by Sen. Cheruiyot is very valid. In as much as any Member can propose an amendment and the amendment goes through the proper procedure with the Clerk--- It is because of the nature of these amendments, not that it goes to the Committee, but before the Clerk processes it in the Order Paper, he has the assurance that the Budget Office will have confirmed that the tabulations are proper and correct. That is the only affirmation. view
• 13 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, yes. view
• 13 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am not talking about adjournment. Standing Order No. 32 is about adjournment, which we all agree with. In fact, I am the one who seconded the Motion. I am talking about the assurance we need to give Members. If you listened to what Sen. Cheruiyot is saying, he said something very positive and true. For instance, if I have an amendment and, of course, I am doing tabulation, I can put whatever numbers that might not be. The veracity of my amendment must be assured, such that by the time the clerks are printing it on ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. I join my colleagues in lauding Governor Sang for bringing this Petition. In as much as the form and nature that Sen. M. Kajwang’ has ably said could have been different, I think the content cannot be ignored. He is raising pertinent questions. Even the Committee that he is seeking these answers from is an extremely competent Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this morning, I had the chance to attend a sitting of the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources chaired by Sen. Mwangi where they were discussing the matter of ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: been threatened. I am glad about that meeting and his communication with the Cabinet Secretary (CS), who I have also spoken to, that he can give an assurance to the people of Lang’ata that no action as had been stipulated will take place. We shall conclude it as the Senate because the facts have come out. I have confidence that the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources will get to the bottom of this matter that Governor Sang’ has brought. Even if not by way of responding to the Petition in nature in which it has come, the ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Some things must begin to change. We cannot talk about the ADC land. We know the story of ADC. Sen. Wetangula knows ADC in Bungoma and Trans Nzoia counties. We know the stories. We can decide to be coming here for poetry and fun or decide to be decisive as a House and calling 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
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: justice where it is injustice and be very resolute in the decisions we make. Sen. Mwangi, the ball is in your court. Sen. M. Kajwang’, you have given good proposals, but you are now a Chairperson of the most important Committee in this House; the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. Do something different on your Motion from those who have been Chairpersons before. view
