• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when they accept certain payments under duress, that does not validate them. If you go to Makueni County and many other counties, to ensure that people get their salaries because their money is coming through the executive, then in the meantime, the Speakers accepted what had been said as they follow the law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we are going to abrogate our responsibility which is to approve everything to make it legal before we can use it, then we will undermine the authority and responsibility of this House in protecting devolution and the counties. Thank you. ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for “The duke of Makueni”, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., to completely mislead this House and the nation that there is anywhere in this country we ever passed any legislation providing for ceilings of any county assembly? That is completely misleading. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Public Service (Values and Principles) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.29 of 2014) be read a second time. This Bill is among the three or four Bills that this House or this Parliament must pass before the expiry of the extended period of 27th April, 2014. That means that I will not go to a lot of details but I will provide adequate overview--- view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): It is 27th May, 2015. Thank you for the correction. In accordance with the calendar that was adopted by this House, we will proceed on recess in early April and we will not be back until late April. So, it is important that these Bills are disposed of considering that when we resume, it is expected there will be other Bills for 27th August deadline. Having said so, I want to provide a general overview of this Bill. This is a brief Bill; it has about 17 sections. Basically, this Bill is aimed at giving effect to ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was in the meeting and so were most of us who are here today. I appreciate what the Chairperson has said. However, is it in order for the Chairman to say that the kamukunji can sort out issues that have been raised in this House? I thought the procedure was that once such a Committee collects information, the information should be formally brought to the House. The Report is not a document for the House until the answer is tabled. You, and even one of the Temporary Speakers, ruled last week ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Sorry. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand corrected. When the Chairperson invited me today, he said that we had a kamukunji . However, when I arrived there, I found out that it was a formal committee meeting. Therefore, I apologise for using the word “ kamukunji ” because it was a formal meeting of the Committee on Education. In attendance were the rest of us who are not members of the Committee. Therefore, I stand corrected. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only thing I want to emphasise is that once a committee makes an inquiry, the results have to be tabled in the House so that they are formally discussed. view

• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that recognition. I just wanted to bring to your attention that the Committee on Devolution had a very fruitful engagement with the delegation from the County Assembly of Kisii. They came to engage us on matters of capacity building and formation of a committee so that they can deal with matters of further decentralization, urban areas, cities and towns. This will also include issues of county management, below county headquarters. I want to congratulate the committee from Kisii County. It is the only committee that is associated with my Committee and we will be ... view
