• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second issue was the issue of the financial independence of the county assemblies. The county assemblies cannot properly exercise their oversight mandate over the county executive if they are queuing to be paid their salaries and other allowances by the same executive. Time has come for us to even amend the law so that we create financial independence for the county assemblies. view

• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, let me congratulate my colleague, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, for bringing this important Bill to the House.

• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been several points of order, some of which contradict one another.

• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, we received proposals of these amendments from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and we have discussed them at our Committee.

In the amendments under Section 5(1), the proposal is that we delete the word “chairman” and replace it with the word “chairperson” because the chairman could be a man or a woman. Therefore, chairperson is a more inclusive term. The other amendments relate to the inclusion of the stakeholders within the organisation. That is why there is a proposal ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: The concerns are appropriate. However, I would like to point out that the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority cannot deal with livestock. It only deals with crops and fisheries. Therefore, we cannot incorporate the amendment which is being sought by the Sen. Haji because that is for another Act. view
