• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Yes, it is covered, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It states on or before Thursday of next week. On or before means--- view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, behind the scenes consultations are ongoing for us to complete the process tomorrow. We do not have to write it again. But in terms of the Motion it covers that; it can even be this afternoon. I am certain that when the Committee goes to consult, we should be able to complete this tomorrow. That is why the terms of the motion say: “and reports to the Senate on or before Thursday, November 16, 2017.” It does not say that it should be on Thursday, November 16, 2017. It can be even this evening. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still insist that if you talk about “on or before” a particular day, that includes an hour from the time we have decided. Let us not--- view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still emphasize that we cannot. We should have flexibilities and if the committee finds that there are certain errors that must be addressed, they will not be under constraint to come back tomorrow. If they find that the amendments are correct, they must come back tomorrow. So, the urgency in terms of concluding it is upon ourselves to act expeditiously but we cannot close it. This drafting by the legal team of this Senate was well done to accommodate 24 hours and also accommodate a situation if it cannot be done in 24 hours. We ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. was here yesterday to listen to the answer to the question by Sen. Khaniri, he would not be taking us back. Issues of whether it was a new Bill or not were addressed yesterday. Secondly, there is absolutely nothing else we are talking about except splitting hairs. The technical staff of this Senate advised accordingly about how the procedure will be moved. I can only urge the A d hoc committee to move expeditiously but I cannot anticipate the challenges they will face in accommodating this Bill. This is a new ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the importance of this Bill that we are supposed to amend. The errors that view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I am saying that it is not as simple as people think. It is such a critical schedule that determines how money goes to our counties. We do not want people to say tomorrow that we were sleeping on the job. That is why, initially, when we were forming this Committee, I really wanted--- view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you for your communication. It must go on record that we, on the Majority side are ready for formation of the committees and I would urge the Minority side to quickly agree. We do not want their internal fights to affect the operations of this House. It is good that you have received a letter from them asking for up to the end of this month. However, in consideration of the business of this House, you have called us to bring this to an end by 20th November, 2017. It is ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join you and the Senate in passing our utmost condolences and sympathies to the family of Hon. (Dr.) Gakuru. The news of his death came this morning in a very shocking manner. I had an opportunity to visit the family and view the body at Lee Funeral home. I can explain why the Senator for Nyeri County is not here. He, the deputy Governor of Nyeri County and the honourable Cabinet Secretary (CS) Mr. Joseph Mucheru are leading a team of leaders from Nyeri County in planning, programming and reaching out to friends ... view
