The Statement sought to know how many PWDs, women and youth have been awarded tenders during the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 Financial Years. The response is as follows:- i. The National Treasury receives reports on the level of implementation of AGPO programmes by ministries, departments, agencies and county governments.

• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very fantastic speech by Sen. Mwaura. He was not seeking clarification. When it went on and on I tried to get your attention but the gadgets were not working. So, it was just a speech. It better not be noted. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that the Statement is very comprehensive. I did not say it is very factual. Those are two different issues. The reason why we have Committees is for that very purpose that Sen. Sakaja said; for interrogation. However, there is also an admission by the National Treasury that they received those reports and that the six months reports were not ready. This means that there must be a report lying somewhere. So, it is important because we have not functioned as we should because we do not have Committees. Therefore, it is important that once the ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, all the issues raised by the hon. Senator are noted. It is in the HANSARD to be transmitted to the relevant Committee once established. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what the Senator requires is segregation between what the counties have done and what the national Government has done. Only four counties have reported in the statement. It would have been important also to know which counties are those. That is an important follow up. The key question because we are here to represent counties is; what are the other 43 counties doing? Is it that they are following the law? Sen. Sakaja made it clear that many of them think that it is beautiful aspirations and not mandatory requirements of the law. Therefore, what can we ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at a sitting of the Senate held on 10th October, 2017, Sen. Ledama Olekina requested for a statement regarding the alleged use of excessive force and police brutality at the UoN, on 28th September, 2017. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to dwell on Part one, which concerns the university. Once the Cabinet Secretary has said that no complaint has been made to any of the police stations regarding use of excessive The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, I agree with the Senate Minority Leader on two accounts. One, that I was reading a statement as written and as lawyers - and I totally agree with my learned senior – a criminal is only a person so declared by a court of law. A more sanitised language is suspected persons who are suspected to have performed certain acts of hooliganism or crime. Two, you cannot do justice to the question of killing of many Kenyans as you have seen by only a statement that is requested and written and brought here. The electronic version of the ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have noted the issues raised and I am sure that they are in the Hansard. When the Committee is finally constituted, it is important to, first of all, find out who committed these offences. Secondly, we should ask ourselves what is the right way of protesting in this country? Is it not time that we operationalize the Constitutional provisions by providing the way to implement all the other rights, including the right to life, food, water and everything under Article 43? This can be done by creating a legal framework for implementation. It is time to ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the Senate Minority Leader that we may not need the joint responsibility of both Houses; this House can do so. Once the Committees are in place, hopefully by Tuesday next week, we should be able to do that. He has also mentioned that some people in police uniform have dreadlocks. I have seen Members of Parliament, wearing clothes that exactly resemble those of the police or the army saying ‘resist.’ Infact, when we were playing football in Machakos somebody tried to give me a kofia written ‘resist’. It might be that, that Committee--- The ... view
