• 25 Sep 2014 in Senate: Order, Sen. Khalwale! What information do you want to give the Senate Majority Leader in furtherance of the Motion he was moving? Sen. Khalwale, resume your seat first. view
• 25 Sep 2014 in Senate: You know very well what a point of information is. It is to add to information that is not in the knowledge of the Senate Majority Leader. I do not think that the events that occurred in Machakos, Makueni or Kapsabet-Nandi are not in the knowledge of the Senate Majority Leader, but if you have another angle of the same information that you thought would assist in his debate, you just inform him. Do not engage in a debate. This Bill is here and you will have the time to share what you want to share, even if you want ... view

• 25 Sep 2014 in Senate: ) You are not helping yourself at all. You are traversing a different terrain. If you have issues, you can come with a proper Motion on those issues. Sen. Kindiki may now proceed, because chances are that someone would have asked you to substantiate all that you are saying. The Director of Public Prosecution is not an official of Jubilee Government, but an independent office. view

• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we received this response from the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. We, as a Committee, have deliberated and the response is as follows:- The Government is aware that due to drought people in arid and semi arid counties of Samburu, Turkana, Pokot, Baringo, Isiolo, Garissa, Wajir and Tana River, among others, require urgent food assistance. The ongoing drought situation has affected 1.5 million people in affected areas. This is an increase from 1.3 million people that the Government has been feeding up to the end of the Financial Year 2013/2014. The Government is not aware that food ... view
• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will summarize all the answers without really focusing on this or on that. First, with devolution, we should end this debate about drought because, really, there will be more in a county, for example, like Turkana, Marsabit, Mandera or Wajir, which was considered ASAL completely.

The reason we went for devolution was particularly for that reason. I suspect the reason the budget was reduced is basically because that problem ... view
• 23 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to congratulate the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries for coming up with very innovating ways of solving problems. When you have a problem of this nature it is useful to sit with stakeholders than to come up with an answer written by a Cabinet Secretary or a Permanent Secretary. This is a good example for the rest of us who are in other committees in the Senate. The Chairperson talked about the people they have invited. I would like him to consider inviting Governors of counties that ... view
