• 28 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are going to re-open a Pandora’s Box if we go that way. It will be a circus by itself. If we call the witnesses back on the stand, the Members will ask questions and we will wonder whether the lawyers of both sides will have a right to ask the same questions. We will go round in circles. If the House is in agreement, we should let the matter lie there but in the next stage, if one needs clarification, it should come at the stage where the examination has been done and cross-examination is being ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of Sen.

• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.13 of 2018) be read a Second Time. This is such a voluminous, Statute law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill. This is a practice that we have been discouraging as the Senate because the number of legislations that are being amended by this Bill are too many and some are substantive. If it was only to correct the things that we would say are miscellaneous as they are called, then we would have gone with it. Nevertheless, since it is a Bill that ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know him as a dairy farmer. Being a pastoralist, that is possibly what I am interested in. It reminds me of something, let me digress a little bit; there is a manager of Manchester United and his name is Mr. Ole Gunnar Solskjær. He has an “Ole” in the middle of his name. When I made a comment on Twitter about the manager of Manchester United as a club, the Senator for Narok County quickly defended the manager. I suspected it is because of “Ole”; Ole Gunnar Solskjær. view

We also have the Public Private Partnership ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you imagine a Miscellaneous Amendment Act that deals with 11 laws? Even if it is brought to a particular House, as it was brought to the National Assembly and forwarded to this House, the question is which Committee should prosecute it? This is because we are moving from crops to dairy, public procurement to national employment, fisheries, TIVETs, betting, issues related to public-private partnerships, and then we move all the way to hospital insurance. As a practice, this is something that needs to be checked. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very happy that the ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start with the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act. In general, this Bill is dealing with punishment for various offences under the Act. Most of the provisions that came from the Bill itself, which is from the Attorney-General’s Office, are that most of the amendments were enhancing the punishment for various offences. Our Committee looked at it and said that some of the punishments were not proportional to the offences; so we reduced them. I will just capture the essence of all these. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: If you look at the amendment of Section 2, it deals with changing from Permanent Secretary to Principal Secretary, as required by the Constitution. You also have amendments that relate to holding of office for the board. For clarity purposes, the amendments indicate that three years is enough, as a period for one to serve only twice in the Board. view
