Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just to ride on what you have communicated; one, the time is not there. It is not just by coincidence that this Message is communicated to the Senate at this hour. It was a deliberate effort to make sure that we act under total harassment to meet the deadline. If you look at the time given for the Members to sit down and negotiate, it is very short. Secondly, it is very clear that such appointments must meet the requirements of the Constitution. If you look at the names, you will realise that there is no ...

Bw. Spika wa Muda, ningependa kumshukuru Sen. Sijeny kwa kuleta Mswada huu katika Seneti hii. Mswada huu ni muhimu sana kwa sababu unazungumzia maswala ambayo yanahitajika katika taifa letu, haswa katika ukurasa wa 295. Nakumbuka ulileta Hoja kuhusu moja ya maswala hayo wakati Seneti ilikuwa katika Jumba la Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC). Hoja hiyo ilikuwa inatafuta mwenendo ambao ungeiwezesha taifa hili kuwa na hospitali za Level 5 katika kila kaunti. Jambo hilo limezingatiwa katika Mswada huu wa Sen. Sijeny. Nitaanza na kipengele cha 22. Dada yangu, Sen. Sijeny, ameangalia ni wapi kuna shida. Nimewasikiliza Maseneta ambao wamechangia Mswada huu ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For this House to follow what is in this document, since it appears to be very long, is it possible and appropriate for copies to be given to us so that we understand what is contained in the Message? There are many details in the Message and the document is also lengthy, we may not even understand what is contained in it.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to concur with Sen. Musila, that this matter concerns all counties in our Republic. The Chairperson should note that the funds are being stolen. There is theft in this country. It appears as if everybody in the Government is involved. That is why in the Jubilee side, nobody is raising a word on this matter. The Chairperson should come out and tell us where the money is going.

Bw. Spika, Sen. Haji ni mmoja kati ya wenyeviti wa Seneti hii wanaoheshimika sana. Rekodi yake inaonyesha alivyofanya kazi. Hata katika Bunge la Kumi hatukuwa na shida naye. Kwa hivyo, ninaamini ya kwamba ataleta ripoti haraka iwezekenavyo. Bw. Spika, Wakenya ndio wengi katika mataifa jirani ya Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda na Burundi. Ikiwa kutakuwa na madhara, Wakenya wataathirika zaidi kuliko watu kutoka mataifa mengine. Ndio maana tunasema kuwa, kwa njia yoyote, tungependa kusikia kwamba kuna usalama wa Wakenya. Tunajua kuwa watu wengi wamekufa. Masikio ya Wakenya yamezoea kusikia vifo; wawe watoto, watu wazima, maskini, watu wanaojiweza au wanafunzi. Kila kuchao, kumekuwa ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson should know that Kenyans are the targets in Burundi. This came out so clearly because Burundians believe that the close relationship between the two countries has resulted in steps that have been taken by President Nkurunziza. So, the Chairperson should take this matter seriously and know that because of trade ties, and Kenyans being as adventurous as they are, they are also being seen as the people who have been working and paying taxes to maintain President Nkurunziza’s Government. The coup has succeeded; it is not an attempt. Today, Burundians suspect that in fact, ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to support this Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, I listened to the Senate Majority Leader and the issues he raised. Listening carefully, I looked at where this country has come from and tried to compare it with where we are today. Kenya has travelled through difficult terrains in terms of leadership and administration. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unbelievable that we can have such a Bill which goes deep inside to allow certain issues to be dealt with; whether passed by the Government, administrators or a group of people that has decided to mistreat a certain ...
