• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Petition originates from my county. It is not different from other petitions which have been lodged in this House by Kenyans from other counties. I do not want to say much because it is on record that probably I am one of those who are not satisfied with the operations of my county. For that reason, I refer the House to Article 96(1) which says:- “The Senate represents the counties, and serves to protect the interests of the counties and their governments.” The people of Machakos through MCA Ndeto, the writer and the Petitioner, ... view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I rise to support this Motion of Adjournment. I concur with the Chairperson, Sen. Billow, that the Senate has done a tremendous job more so, when I remember the 2013/2014 Financial Year when we had a lot of difficulties in this House on how to increase funds to the counties. In the 2014/2015 Financial Year, we also had a lot of difficulties where proposals were made on the Floor of the House. The Committee itself could not manage to move an inch towards increasing the funds. However, I am so happy that for the first time, ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. He just stood on a point of order and you overruled him. I am not challenging the Chair but he did not make any contribution. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that Sen. Okong’o just stood on a point of order and asked whether it is in order for a person who did not append his signature, although he was a Committee Member, to second it. I am just making his statement clear. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you said that he may not even have the chance to contribute on the same report. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The sentiments that were expressed by Sen. Anyang’-Nyong’o were also directed to me, because I was the one who was consulting with the Chair. But by saying “pursuing Al Shabaab,” does it mean that I am a Member of Al Shabaab and we are making arrangements on how to pursue AlShabaab ? That is a very serious remark. Al Shabaab is feared even in someone’s dreams when sleeping. How can it be possible that we are pursuing Al Shabaab here? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not a security agent to plan how to arrest or pursue Al Shabaab . There are people who are assigned that business and I am not one of them. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I listened to the Chairperson and looked at Clause 39(2) on page 12 and I remembered the debate that we had last time on this Bill. It was based more on the “hot thing;” the report of the National Security Department. Subsection 3 says that all the staff of the Auditor-General carrying out the audit under this section shall be vetted by the authorized government vetting agency. I read a sinister motive in this clause because what we expect to happen is that the same National Security Department will pick the team to audit that ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have voted and passed the mediation report on this Bill to beat the constitutional deadline. We also know that the National Assembly was recalled from recess to deal with the same Bill. However, the information coming now is that it has adjourned without voting on the same Bill. After we have voted on the mediation report on this Bill, what are the consequences? This Bill has a constitutional deadline. view
