• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he spoke about me when I was not here and I did not take offence. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, how I wish you were the Speaker then. In conclusion, that function, the presidential launch being one of the watershed moments of this recess, I have extended my invitation to the Senate Minority Leader, that should it become impossible for him to hold his function in Kakamega, Iten is available. For purpose of national unity, he can launch his presidential ambitions in Iten. He can even join Jubilee. We welcome him to be part and parcel of those who will pursue their ambitions in Jubilee as a team member because we respect leaders. Therefore, I thank ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. I seek your guidance and further direction regarding a matter that you have just dispensed, which is Statement 2 (c). I can see Sen. Musila nodding. The matter of the Statement regarding the Government cash transfers to the elderly has been before the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for some time. I was informed late last week that the Chair directed that the Senate Majority Leader should deal with that Statement. First, I want to seek the indulgence of the Chair because I am not ready ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. This is a Bill that I had moved already. I will continue with the remaining provisions. I may not utilize all the 51 minutes because I know many hon. Senators, including Senior Counsel, Sen. Wako and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. want to make their contributions to this important Bill. Therefore, I will take half of that time or less, so that they can also have a chance to also contribute and enrich it. As I said last time while moving this Bill, it came about not just as a result ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have faith that those who will run for the position of governor from this House will be governors because I have seen their commitment and passion. However, I do not want to drag you into that. May I remind Kenyans of a quote from the Chair that I liked; it was reported in the newspapers two days ago. The Chair said he is eligible to run for every office. However, because of his friendship and support for the incumbent President, he will not run for the presidency. I suspect you will not run for a ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have Members like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o and Sen. Sang who have confirmed they will run for the position of governor. Sen. Wako and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. are “rumoured”. There are many Members who are still thinking of vying for that position. Sen. Okong’o has also been “rumoured”. However, Sen. (Prof.) Lesan has not hinted yet. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am coming to the point. The point is that, if we have to attract quality deputy governors - men and women who will bring value to the position of the deputy governor and who will add value to the running of the county government - we must make that office honourable. We must make the office desirable and more than a spare tyre. We must make it functional and pay for the resources that we are putting in that office so that they give back to society. The office of the deputy governor and the ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Wako - I did not want to interrupt him - to say that there is no limit to the consultation when the clause says; “in performing the functions under sub-section 2 of Section 30”. There are provisions there that say there is a limit. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the response that there was poor or delayed distribution of resources by the Treasury is very serious and we should not take it lightly. It should not just be one of the excuses that we will receive next year. What measures are being put in place by the Ministry in conjunction with the Treasury to ensure that fertilizer is received by the right people during the planting seasons in different parts of this country? Secondly, I have realized that in this schedule there are some counties that have two distribution points while others have six. This ... view
