• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir that is why I said the first one and second one is done. Let me repeat. The Report of the Auditor General on the financial statements of the following county assemblies and county executives for the year ended 30th June, 2016. They are: Siaya, Kilifi, Baringo, Makueni, Kajiado, Machakos, Nairobi, Homabay, Migori, view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you gave a direction today that we need Committees to be in place so that they can interrogate these statements. So, as soon as the Committees are formed, we should commit these questions to the relevant Committee and an answer be brought to the House in two weeks’ time. I am anticipating that after 20th November, 2017, the Committees should be in place so that early December before we go on recess they can bring the answer. I hope the Hon Senator will be a Member of that particular Committee that will address those questions. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very important question. It is very alive to all of us. Again, if you agree with the earlier suggestion I provided in the questions by Sen. Kwamboka, then that should also apply to Sen. Lelegwe. When the Committees will be in place, they will identify the owners of those livestock so that they can come forward to be documented for purposes of compensation. This is because I have seen that issue has raised a serious national discourse on destruction of livestock. However, what is missing in this discourse are the owners of those livestock. ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, nobody likes killing livestock. That is why I said that what has happened has happened. Therefore, this must lead to investigations on what happened, who did it, how do you punish those who did it and how do you compensate those who lost their livestock. That is part one; part two is to ensure that it does not continue to happen even as we look for solutions to this problem. In my own inquiries on this issue, I think one of the challenges is to identify the owners of the livestock. I doubt if this question is ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that statement will suffer the same fate as the previous one because I think it is the same question. Usually, how it works here is that when a Member asks a question, this would have been a follow up question to it so that they are consolidated to one statement. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I said they are both related. We can provide the answer in two weeks. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I think that two weeks is reasonable for a comprehensive debate. In fact, the one week that was earlier ordered by the Speaker will take part of the question that deals with livestock, which has already been asked. This will take care of the question the Senator has asked as view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we are trying to avoid a tradition where questions are just answered for the sake of it. When they are handled by committees, the interrogation is better. This is only a contingency measure in the absence of a committee and I am doing this to facilitate the continuation of the House in the absence of committees. We need to wait until proper interrogation is done because some of the questions the Senator has asked such as how to deal with conflict need long-term measures and cannot be answered directly by the Inspector General of Police. We will ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this will be dealt with in three weeks because there is no urgency. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Kinyua could be right but he does not have the supporting documents. So, he should wait until the answer is brought. Madam Temporary Speaker, I insisted that there is no urgency in this statement because the hon. Senator, in his own admission, said that it has been like that for 40 years. Therefore, I do not think it is now urgent. Secondly, the hon. Senator said that it is an ADC farm. So, that is a clear admission that there could be some trespass and it is not a question of the pastoralists owning the farm. ... view
