• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a problem with that question because it is anchored on Article 100 of the Constitution. It talks about Parliament enacting legislation to promote representation in Parliament, of Persons With Disability (PWDs) and marginalised groups. I would be comfortable to proceed in the manner in which the Member has asked, if she was asking what Parliament has done in so far as this legislation is concerned? Even listening to her question, a part of it asked what the representation of women and PWDs in Parliament is. The hon. Member can just count how many are here ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a good question and was asked many times in the last Parliament. However, I recognise this is a new Parliament which is the 12th Parliament. I propose, just like the question of Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., to try and bring a response the first Thursday upon our return from the recess. That is, if it is approved by this House. view

• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have a problem; double speak and hypocrisy of the highest order. We have been here taking our responsibility seriously. The reason why there is no budget committee is because of the minority. The Minority side wrote a letter to the speaker and view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this hypocrisy must be said for what it is. There is a letter at the office of the Speaker that says that the Minority side will not participate in any single committee in this House. That letter has made it difficult for us because we want to be inclusive; to form the Budget Committee that would have actually summoned the CS. I have no power to summon a CS except through a committee of this House. When I go to the Office of the CS and ask for a Statement --- Say, the Statement was asked on ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that the question raised by my friend, the distinguished Senator of Vihiga County, is important. It is about the funds to the counties. It is a concern of every Senator. It is the reason why we are here. I took that matter seriously to the Cabinet Secretary. However, the question was asked on Tuesday.

Therefore, if the Cabinet Secretary says that he is working on it, maybe the answer will be ready by tomorrow. It is important to ... view
