• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo has asked a very important question, that is, converting the interim staff to permanent employees. Once we have the CPS, the county executive should make request to the CPSB to create those positions so that they become part and parcel of the county public service, either for a contract period or permanently. There are some things like political advisor which are necessary, going forward. Maybe economic advisor is important and other advisors like on disaster management and so on. Those positions should be created by the CPSB, but with the approval of the ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the key issue here is the question of interim staff. In cases where one moved from being an interim staff to permanent without following the procedure for advertisement, that is an illegality. That is total disregard of the law. It can attract the necessary penalties in terms of punishment to the county governments for what they do. The person responsible in that regard is the CPSB, which must be answerable for paying or retaining people in service who are called “interim” without going through the procedure for advertisement. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will give the statement the first Tuesday after we come back. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we can seek an answer for Wednesday. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so that even if it is not comprehensive, at least for the Ministry to commit itself to what they are doing to address that issue. I also appreciate that the person who asked that question is the Vice Chairperson of this Committee. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to congratulate and note the Speech of the President of the Senate of Rwanda, which was delivered in this very historic House. He was the first person to address us since the Senate of Kenya was returned under the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. I laud that Speech and appreciate the Speaker of the Senate of Kenya for inviting his colleague and giving him a chance to come and address us. Madam Temporary Speaker, that Speech is a demonstration of the co-operation of the East African Community (EAC). The EAC Treaty notes among ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank the hon.

• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Rwanda is a serious economic and trade partner to this country. Not only are there a number of Kenyan firms and businesses, but there are a number of Kenyan individual business people who are successfully running businesses in that country. My interaction with many of the Kenyans in that country and even our Embassy in Kigali, tells me that the people of Kenya who are doing business in Rwanda are happy, comfortable and do not feel as if they are away from their homes. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important to also ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, Mr. Raila Odinga is my friend. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, with regard to the first one, as I said, the former Prime Minister is a good friend of mine despite the fact that we do not agree politically at the moment. That word, “moment” is deliberate because two years ago, the kinds of political alignments that were there are very different from what we have today. That can even change in the future. The earlier Kenyans realise this better. Former President Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga were not President and Vice President, respectively. They were co-principals in a Grand Coalition Government. During that time, ... view
