• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move: “THAT, pursuant to Standing Orders No.28 and 29, the Senate adjourns until Tuesday, 13th February, 2018”. First of all, I congratulate all those who have been elected and succeeded to represent us in the EALA. It shows the bi-partisan relationship that this House can have. You can see the leading candidate who got 309 votes is from the NASA side despite the fact that the Jubilee Party has more votes than all combined. This demonstrates that we are reasonable. I congratulate my brother in the legal profession, Mr. Kennedy Musyoka, now Hon. Kennedy ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Orders 178 and 183 (3), the Senate approves the following Senators to be Members of the Senate Business Committee:- Sen. Moses Wetangula - Senate Minority Leader; Sen. James Orengo - Deputy Senate Minority Leader; Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. - Minority Whip; Sen. Petronilla Were; and, Sen. Ledama Olekina. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you remember sometimes about a month ago - I cannot remember the exact date - we brought the names of persons who were serving in the Senate Business Committee from the Jubilee Party side. ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 17, the Senate approves the following Senators to be Members of the Speaker’s Panel:- 1. Sen. (Prof.) Margaret Kamar; 2. Sen. Steve Lelegwe Ltumbesi; 3. Sen. Rose Nyamunga; and, 4. Sen. Cleophas Malalah Wakhungu. Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, about three months ago we tabled names for persons to serve in the Speaker’s Panel. At that point in time we said that they would serve temporarily until the bigger picture was going to be established in so far as who would be placed in what Committee. ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, out of observation, the Jubilee Government is doing a lot of work in Makueni. The requests that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr has sought about dams, for example, Thwake Dam and others, I wish there were these numbers of projects in my county. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. should give us time to answer one after the other because we have Thwake and others. Honestly, if you see the list that is there today, the Senate Majority Leader has been overwhelmed in terms of getting these answers. This is just out of abundance of generosity because the Standing Orders ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are very valuable questions. The question by the Minority Leader that all the beneficiaries of the programme should be provided per county or constituency is necessary. The best thing is for the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, which we will inaugurate tomorrow, to call the Cabinet Secretary for East Africa Community, Labour and Social Protection to come here so that Members can ventilate on these issues. I cannot pretend to know the number of people who get this money from Elgeyo Marakwet County. We need to have that list. As a follow up, let us ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir we defer generally because the Senator read the Statement and said he still has some follow up issues before it can be brought here. So, he requested - or we could say he “stood it over” generally. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a letter written by the Minister for Water and Irrigation. It sates as follows:- 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
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has raised very important issues, which can be part of the follow up to the question. Most importantly, the compensation list should be public so as to avoid possibilities of those people having been told that they will be given Ksh.1 million, but the records indicate Ksh.10 million. As a matter of right, the National Land Commission and the Ministry should publish the names of those people and the amount paid to them. It can be a basis for establishing the truth, if there was someone who received the money, yet the other ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, I totally agree with the Senate Minority Leader. I have witnessed that. About Kshs2.8 billion was used to compensate squatters in my location in Embobut Forest. Everybody was getting about Kshs400,000 and there was madness in the area. Half or a quarter of the people went on to marry other wives, while others went drinking. Some bought motorbikes thinking that they had now become rich, but could not repair them thereafter. As a matter of policy, when I am fighting for compensation of the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet, I will not accept a situation of payment of ... view
• 7 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to second this Motion. I start by congratulating the Deputy Majority Leader for having done an exemplary job. I was listening to her as I was coming here and she has made a very good presentation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we have said over and over again, we are the ones who are holding the EALA from proceeding in the manner in which it should because of the election timelines and the delays that we had because of our elections. Something needs to be done in the next general elections of ... view
