• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion - THAT, pursuant to the Senate Resolutions made on 27th February, 2020 (Approval of Senate Calendar) and 14th April, 2020 (Alteration of the Senate Calendar), the Senate, pursuant to Standing Order 31 (3)(b) resolves to hold additional Sittings every Tuesday morning, starting from 10.00 a.m and ending at 12.30 pm, commencing from Tuesday, 12th May, 2020 until Tuesday, 2nd June, 2020. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to be fair to the House, the business that is ahead of us is a lot. We have two Bills; one which must be disposed of today. The Senate Business Committee had said today that the Statements will be read and there will be no debate. You have already allowed a large latitude in most of those Statements. In the interest of time, I request that follow up questions are taken to the committee. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mine is just more or less on the way forward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issues being raised are valid and are the same. I did not just want to over repeat. My suggestion to you is, first, listen to the Chairperson with regard to why they have not brought the formula. Secondly, since there is usually no guarantee that the formula will pass in the manner each one of us thinks for their benefit---. It usually comes back here and is negotiated like we did last time. I would suggest the way forward that if Members feel that the formula ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: next step is to advise the Chairperson of the Committee to withdraw, depending on the answer he has concerning the formula. However, the concerns are valid. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, we must find a way forward. There is a better Standing Order than the one Sen. Sakaja has referred to. I am trying to get it; which I used last time to withdraw a Bill from the House. It was actually midway when I was moving it. That is not even the issue. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: However, on this particular issue, I want you to prepare the House on the issue of the formula, which is very important for all of us, if that is where we are going now, if we agree today that we withdraw the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (CARB) and deal with the formula first. First of all, the Chair and the Clerk must prepare a better Chamber for that debate because it cannot be delegated to 28 Senators. All 47 counties must be represented. Sen. Orengo has said as he has done that it is a very weighty matter; there ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: No, I said that I will get it for you; if I do not give it to you, then the clerks will give you. But I will do so shortly. The main point that I was making was not about the Standing Order. The main issue, from my experience, when it comes to this formula itself, everybody usually wants to go on record about their county. The 47 counties must be in the Chamber when that decision is being made. It is very weighty, it takes five years and it has great implications on how resources are going to be ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take 10 seconds. For the reflection of the record, I said that there is a better Standing Order for withdrawal. So, I report to the House that it is Standing Order No. 154 where the Mover of the Bill, on his own volition, can withdraw the Bill at any given time. I could not remember at that point in time. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the Motion: THAT, pursuant to the Senate Resolution made on 27th February, 2020 (approval of Senate Calendar) and 14th April, 2020 (alteration of the Senate Calendar), the Senate, pursuant to Standing Order 31(3)(b) resolves to hold additional Sittings every Tuesday morning, starting from 10.00 am and ending at 12.30 pm, commencing from Tuesday, 12th May, 2020 until Tuesday, 2nd June, 2020. Mr. Speaker Sir, the Senate Business Committee felt like there are many Statements that are coming to the Floor. We also have a lot of other business and considering that we are ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, time and again, this Senate has been firm on issues that affect the common mwananchi. I, therefore, congratulate the Senator for Nairobi for coming up with this Statement. I watched with awe and shock the event of demolition. It is not just in Nairobi alone because this has been happening in other parts of the country for a long period of time. We need to remind public officers that the fact that we are facing a pandemic does not mean there is suspension of human rights, the rule of law, and that persons holding public office are ... view
