• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to congratulate Sen. Ochillo- Ayacko and the Mover for moving this Motion, for this House to allow him to sit in the two Committees. I specifically welcome him to the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration, where I sit. This is a bit significant because at the time Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko was elected and sworn in this House, we were trying to show how much cohesiveness we needed in this country pursuant to the ‗handshake‘ that came into being. It is symbolic that he came in because of the cohesiveness that was sweeping ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: more important that he will sit in the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration. I welcome my brother and I am sure he will be a person of reason. I have severally said that he is a person who has shown leadership in a lot of areas, including our party activities. I have just confirmed that he was just about two classes ahead of me. Being a senior lawyer, I am sure he will be of use to this Senate and the Committees that he will serve in. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view

• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. I congratulate the Mover for bringing this very noble idea to amend a very glaring lacuna. When we have an Act that in its provision does not recognise the Senate, then it is high time that we amend our laws to upgrade and audit them, to ensure that the proper place of the Senate is adhered to. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: This is a very straightforward amendment and I will be surprised if anybody will have a problem with it. This is because it is simply amending an Act to recognise that we have a new Constitution in place. We now have the ―upper‖ House and the ―lower‖ House, and each House plays its role. More so, lately we have had issues with some of our regulations going to the National Assembly and being passed without passing through the Senate, yet most of them affect the counties. We are here, as a Senate, to take care of the interests of the ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: financial year is halfway and another one only 15 per cent. There is even a country that has not paid a cent, yet it is party to a treaty. As we domesticate treaties and bring them home, we believe that they are for the interest of the people. As we make these laws to actualise the provisions of the treaties and make them to serve the people, let us be serious on the treaties we sign and fully take up the mandate given to us. I am happy that this amendment will not allow anybody to hold the other hostage. ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this important Motion and Report. Looking at it, I was wondering how important this report is to this country. Looking at the recommendations that have been made by this Committee, I wonder whether we should have given more time for this debate on this particular matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I applaud the Powers and Privileges Committee for clearing the Members of the Committee on Public Accounts and Investments on the allegations that had been made. If anybody had evidence pointing to any malpractice, then those people should have come ... view
