• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have listened and read some of the contributions that were made yesterday when I was not around. I have listened to the contributions of other Hon. Members, including the new addition to the Senate, the Senator for Kericho County. I thank them profusely for making very substantive suggestions. First, I want to congratulate Sen. Cheruiyot. I have heard him speak before because I was part of the people who went to cheer him on. He was very eloquent in his mother tongue. My worry was that maybe he does not know so much English. However, ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Kanainza has confirmed my worst fears that ODM sees itself in Kakamega as the big brother and that they cannot be threatened by FORD (Kenya) party. That is the fight I was talking about.

• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the rest of us have been in this field continuously and have even learnt the ropes. Some Members of this House have decided that they want to be the change themselves and go back to counties. The Senator for Kericho has just been elected and, as I said, there was lull.

• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, so far as it has been reported, it appears as though it is actually him that is trying to invite another visitor who is a Member of this House and there is a lot of frustration. As Sen. Kanainza said earlier, there is a threat that that visitation is bringing on a sister political party or a bigger brother as she said. Those are in-house things that they have to deal with. However, should he become the Governor of Kakamega County, I have some little hope that there will be no wheelbarrows to be purchased for ... view

• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as the tradition has been and as has been ruled by the Speaker before, that when we do not have the numbers, the day for Division will be determined by the Speaker. This is because this is a Motion that affects counties. I, therefore, beg that the question be put at a later date to be determined by the Speaker. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No. 54(3) is clear. It is a Standing Order that has been used over and over, and has become a tradition. The Speaker has ruled on that matter including setting aside Wednesdays in the past for the same reason. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you remember that this is a Bill that mirrors what we passed in this House already and which was moved to the National Assembly. We are part of a mediation over another Bill with the mover of this Bill, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and he communicated. I think I should have also told our Whip. We agreed that when we finish that mediation, we consult with the National Assembly team which is the Justice and Legal Affairs team dealing with the same Bill and know how to handle this issue where two Bills, one had already been ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with the Senator for Kakamega that we are dealing with a different Bill. I had mentioned it as a different Bill and said that in that context, this is one of the things to be addressed. One way to solve the impasse is basically to continue with this Bill and amend it 100 per cent to fit into what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said and then go to mediation and solve this problem. If the consultations fail, we can amend the whole thing. But before we go there, we accepted from the word “go” ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it gives me great pleasure to move this Bill which has been pending for a time to facilitate consultations. We have consulted widely on some of the issues that are here. As we move forward, I request Senators to assist us in bringing their thoughts towards making it a better Bill. I brought these amendments partly in my capacity as the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government based on the petitions that came from the deputy speakers and governors across the county. This Bill basically captures the responsibilities of the two institutions; recognizing the office ... view
