• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I take that to have been a point of information; that instead of using the word “moving,” the hon. Senator wanted me to use the word “responding.” I am, therefore, responding on behalf of the Senate Majority Leader. Basically, I said that I appreciate the well researched positions that Senators have given. This House appreciates the effort that has been put by the Government in terms of tabling this Bill. It appreciates the work done by the CRA and the Treasury in terms of giving good foundation for us to improve on. I would like to quote ... view

• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am well advised and accept, except to say that in the analysis of functions in Schedule Four, Members have dwelt on this very important matter of whether a function is concurrent or exclusive. I said yesterday that the challenge that we have, something that we must expeditiously do, working together with the Treasury and Transition Authority, is unbundling these functions, so that we are able to know what exactly it means to say “financing agriculture.” As you have heard from Sen. Kajwang, when I was a young boy – and the Minority Leader whispered to me ... view
• 21 May 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know you have just passed a message about the PSC. I just needed your clarification whether this is the right time for me to give the notice of Motion, or should I wait? This is because some of the requirements for notice were discussed at the Rules and Business Committee meeting where I was not able to attend. So, I need your clarification and guidance. view

• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion. I think the seven hon. Members of Parliament, both of the Upper House and the Lower House, are men and women of tremendous capabilities. We know them as passionate people; they have passion to protect the interest of Members of Parliament. I believe that they bring in diverse representation, both in terms of gender, regional and ethnic balance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to spend more time because Senators really know that this institution needs to be up and running, particularly when it comes to the welfare of Senators. ... view
• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. This is a very important Bill, being the first Bill that we are debating since we became Senators and since the Senate was re-established. I want to comment the Jubilee Government for doing the best and showing their ambition in their manifesto that says that they will raise the revenue allocated to counties up to 40 per cent in the next five years. It is commendable that they have started with 31.2 per cent or thereabout. It is important to note that these resources are necessary to ensure that counties start ... view
