• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Chair for attempting to answer the question. However, I would like to ask for clarification from the Committee of this House as to the meaning of Article 67(2)(c). Has the Committee considered the meaning of this article which provides that the National Land Commission shall advise the National Government on a comprehensive programme for the registration of title in land throughout Kenya? I am asking this because debate has been going on round the country on whether it is the Cabinet Secretary or the National Land Commission who does ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chairman has made such a weighty statement which in my opinion contradicts the Constitution. Could he, as he makes that decision, be referring to a particular provision of the Constitution or an Act of Parliament because he cannot just assert it from his own mind? view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will also just congratulate my colleague and learned friend, Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., for taking the step to ask that question.

• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If my memory serves me right, although forests are a function of the national Government, if you read the Fourth Schedule, Part II, it says that the implementation, management and protection of forests is a function of the counties. So, I think that it is not in order for the Chairperson of the Committee to mislead the House. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, previously, we have been told that the people downstream were warned via newspaper advertisements. How many people in Tana River read newspapers? What better mechanisms have been put in place to ensure that there are officers operating along the river, if need be, to ensure that no animal, human being or fish becomes a carrier of a disease to the rest of us who are in the country? view

• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Tuesday, the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government was asked a Question by Sen. Kiraitu concerning the impending strike by the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs). I promised to give an answer today because hon. Senators said that it was an issue of national importance. We, as a Committee, had a meeting this morning with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) and with the leadership of county assemblies through the County Assemblies Speaker’s Forum.

• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We had lengthy deliberations with the County Assemblies Speaker’s Forum and the SRC from 9.00 a.m. up to 2.00 p.m. After that, there were three resolutions. First, that the SRC is required to submit a report to the Senate. This report was the basis that was used by the SRC to set the salaries before the March elections. It is to be submitted to the Senate through the Speaker by 9.00 a.m. on Monday. The relevance of that is that--- view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is on the 4th of November, 2013. The relevance of that is that the SRC was pegging the increase of salaries on review and re-evaluation of the work of MCAs. For that re-evaluation to be done, the MCAs are entitled to understand or to have knowledge of what was the evaluation in the first place.
