• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am wondering whether my friend, Sen. Hassan, is in order to speak on a matter that was raised by a Senator who is not in the House currently. If need be, he would be required to respond. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, I had an observation on the clause which the Vice Chairperson has just mentioned. We are talking about business persons. Talking about sound-proof premises is not a mean thing. It is a heavy investment. People who do pub businesses are small scale Kenyans. Installing sound-proof premises is a very expensive issue. The Committee and its Chairperson should reconsider that clause. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Most guided, Mr. Temporary Chairman. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, on the same clause 3 (C) where they mention that a person who contravenes sub-clause 3 (B) commits an offence, this is a very ambiguous. As my colleague has said, if a policeman sees a clause like this, they will want to harass those small businessmen. I think the Act should be something simple and clear. I oppose. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I am just wondering about that kind of an amendment. We are talking small-scale traders and not East African Breweries Limited or Keroche Industries. How will the provision of this amendment be effected? If you want chang’aa to be bottled and packaged expensively, we will not change anything. I think that this is not tenable. The Vice-Chair should reconsider this amendment. The The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I am surprised. Are we talking about the security of the nation during election time or we are thinking about business? I think the Committee went there to sit and make very irrational decisions--- view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the initial law which spoke of two days of not selling alcohol cannot impact heavily on the cost to be incurred in security matters if people are drunk during the election period. People should be sober and keen to go and do their dutiful role in elections. So, I find that not very much tenable. Two days is not a very long period if people have businesses to run. I will be opposing that at the appropriate time if the Chair cannot reconsider. view
• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make a few remarks on the Presidential Address. On the outset, I will touch on various aspects which the President talked about starting with insecurity. The President spoke widely on how he will tame the dragon of insecurity in the country. On that, we have to give him time considering that this is his second year in office. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on health care, the President mentioned a number of issues which affect our people. Much more needs to be done considering that the health sector has ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe my good friend was not very keen. I just mentioned that causing disturbance is a misdemeanor. It is a simple offence, even it touches on integrity under Chapter Six of the Constitution. Those police officers could have arrested hon. Alfred Keter and taken him to court. Maybe my friend does not understand the legal implications of such offences and fines applicable. Those are not issues to be captured as corruption. Chapter Six of the Constitution does not indicate clearly the issues to be dealt with. That is why even if I support the Constitution, I ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Bw. Naibu Spika, nimemsikia Sen. (Dr.) Machage akitaja kwamba kuna Seneta mwenzetu aliyenyakua Kshs8 bilioni; je, anaweza kumtaja ni Seneta gani aliyenyakua hela hizo? view
