• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Sorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to say; as Senate, we should also take greater pride in the fact that he received first aid in a public hospital in Kapsabet and was treated in a public hospital called Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, where any ordinary citizen can get medical care. Dr. Aruasa, the CEO was able even to tell us that they have the latest equipment. They were exchanging technical terms with Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri about the latest equipment that they have and that they are able to do the procedure that they did while they were ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to reply to this Bill. We are on the Second Reading and I want to say something that I have always emphasized in this Senate. All the issues that have been raised are important and welcome but we must vote and pass the Bill in the Second Reading. Otherwise, all the concerns that you have raised will be useless if we do not pass the Bill in the Second Reading. I want to challenge Senators to interrogate the procedure of the Standing Orders. If you ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: two, three or four cases where the Committee fails to adopt a certain amendment; we can then have an opportunity to say that, „so and so, have your amendment‟. I want to speak frankly because from the benefit of experience, it is difficult to individually pass an amendment here. This is because people will be asking; “What is that?” You know how we operate and we all know that it is difficult to get the 24 delegations unless we come back to Eldoret where we will definitely get the 24 delegates at any time. That is why I love “Senate ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: the national Government institutions. That will mean that the Council of Governors can always nominate people at any given time. We can even say that the nomination of the person who is going to sit in that place must have consideration of counties where oil production is being done or transported. That is something that we can consider when we are drafting, such that it will not be too confined, but it will be wide enough to allow more people to serve in that Committee of the Council of Governors. It will also not be too wide to allow any ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the last thing is our contributions to law making. We have made significant changes to the legal regime via the eyes that the people of Kenya gave us; which are devolution eyes. Sen. Madzayo and other Senators who were with us in the last term, know that the struggle was to get the Bills come to us before being signed into law. We always fought about Bills being signed into law without passing through the Senate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Sometimes we just watched in the news the President signing a Bill into law, and you could ask yourself, does this Bill not concern counties? There are many laws out there, that if truly, they were to be challenged in court, they could be challenged for lacking constitutional status by virtue of bypassing either the Senate as a House or the Speaker of the Senate giving the concurrence whether or not it concerns counties. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: However, we are slowly winning that debate. The next debate is to ensure that once the Bills come here we expedite properly. The other day and sadly so, my colleagues were saying, the Senate is delaying Bills. This House does not delay Bills. In fact, I looked at all the Bills including, the Petroleum Bill. The National Assembly had them in October 2017. It came to the Senate after seven or eight months, and then, they quickly ran to the press and argued that the Senate is delaying Bills yet the Bill had been in the Senate barely for two ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: I told the Executive that I am not prepared to expedite Bills for the sake of it. In any case, even if I expedite, they will fail because the Senate wants to interrogate; through their committees and on the Floor of the House to make sure that when they go home and tell people, we stood for your interest, they know exactly that it is true. We are not rubber stamps as Sen. Madzayo is shouting, although out of order. I thank the Senator for Turkana profusely. He knows what they went through to ensure that 20 and 25 per ... view
