• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Statement is under Standing Order No. 48(1). It is being sought from the Committee on Education, and this is the Chairperson of that Committee. Is the Chairperson giving us a response or telling us the areas that he will be looking into? He is being prejudicial and we thought that all sides need to be listened to in the Committee. It is only after doing so that he can come back with an answer. As Chairpersons, we do restrain ourselves from giving our opinion when a Statement is sought from our Committees. Please guide us. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join you in welcoming officially the delegation from Vihiga County to Nairobi City County. I am the one who welcomes people to Nairobi City County. I am sure they are proud to see one of their own representing Nairobi as well. Vihiga County is like home. I am glad that they have come to this county and that CPAIC has started the practice of inviting their counterpart committees when they are interrogating their counties. Vihiga County is very close to my heart. As they go in full tradition I will send them ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The excitement by Sen. Cherargei is really quite telling. An event cannot become suddenly unofficial, yet he presented officially on behalf of the Senate to that forum. I have been standing in for the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, because my Chairperson sought official leave and letters from your office to go and chair the BBI meetings. Now that he is done, he is coming back. Let us allow all shades of political opinion; those who support BBI, whether or not you know what is in, ... view

• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, earlier on in this Session, we raised the matter of Members being absent when their business is on the Floor. This matter was to be dealt with by the Senate Business Committee, which the good Speaker chairs. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: If you look at Order Nos.10, 11, 12; the Committee of the Whole, some of us as Chairpersons have been waiting for months to move our amendments on these Bills. However, when the business appears in the Order Paper, we find that the Member or mover, et cetera is not here. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: The Standing Orders provide that when an item comes up and the Member who is moving it is not here, it is dropped from the Order Paper. Kindly give us a ruling because we cannot keep coming as Chairpersons, when we have matters to deal with on behalf of the Committee--- We also have county matters to deal with and have other ad hoc Committees. These Bills have stayed here for a year. For instance, with regard to the one on Retirement, the Mover, Sen. Ledama, was here. I do not know where he has gone to. Likewise, Sen. (Dr). ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Other Members have matters that are never reached because these ones are parking on the Order Paper. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, kindly, for the sake of the convenience of the House, we need direction on this matter. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. for bringing this Statement. I know that it would have come earlier had we not been on our scheduled recess. This country established a Sports and Arts Development Fund that has more than Kshs8 billion. During its establishment, we were excited that the young people of this country, who are skilled in either sports or art, a talent that is given by God, would finally be able to earn a living from their God given talent; whether it is singing, acting, football or rugby. The questions that have been asked ... view
