• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is on the issue of roads, because I think this is a very important issue. When my colleague, Sen. Wetangula, says that roads have stalled in their region and it is reiterated by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I think it is important to tell this House that as the Chairperson has said, roads have stalled everywhere in this country. I can quote more than 10 roads in my county that have stalled or in the whole of that region. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that what we had agreed last time when this matter came up; it ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for substantially dealing with the situation, though I wanted to deal with it. I want to take issue with my colleague Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, and to some small extent, my colleague the Senate Minority Leader for trivializing an otherwise very serious issue. It is not right to be reading out roads that have stalled in their region alone, because we could also read out roads that have stalled in our region. That is why when Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale says that they are talking about trunk roads and while I am talking about rural access ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a debate that has generated a lot of interest. Hon.

• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I cannot do better than to reiterate what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said, because we have set a precedent in this House and it has withstood the test of time. We impeached the Governor of Embu and salvaged the Deputy Governor of Embu, which means that we considered her The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Order, Senators. We are in the Committee of the Whole and we cannot transact business unless we have the numbers. We do not have the numbers.

• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Sen. Billow Kerrow, I hear you. Unfortunately, Order No.11 was to consider two Bills; the County Allocation of Revenue Bill which is important and the County Governments (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.1 of 2014 which is also important. However, seeing that there is no quorum, the Standing Orders do not allow us to continue to sit in Committee unless we have a threshold of 24. We have to vote by delegation on every amendment. Those are the operations of our own Standing Orders. Whereas we did not fail to vote because of anything else other than the fact that there ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I think the HANSARD will bear you out when the Rules and Business Committee meets on Tuesday or whenever it will meet next. That is it for now. The order, as requested by Sen. Billow is that we will extend time so that the Motion on Order No.11 is prioritised so that we pass the Bill in good time.
