• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: He is explaining that it is for counties, but even at the county level, I found them struggling to make a programme-based budget. So, are we satisfied that we are not going to create more confusion in the budgeting process through this amendment? view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mine is to thank the Senate for finally following the processes of transferring to the counties Kshs228 billion. I would also like to appeal to our colleagues, who are now Chairpersons of the County Development Boards, to follow up this money and not to make postmortem oversight. We should do a premortem oversight of the money. So, be involved from conceptualization and planning until the final execution of various projects in your counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that I could not rise on a point of order when the Senate Minority Leader was on his feet. However, Standing Order No.87(1) on points of order says:- “Any Senator may raise a point of order at any time during the speech of another Senator stating that the Senator raises a point of order and that Senator shall be required to indicate the Sanding Order upon which the point of order is based.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been abusing procedure through points of order by engaging ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. Every time we are impeaching a governor or deputy governor, it is the Senate itself which is on trial. We must not only do justice, but also be seen to have done justice. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is need for this Senate to be consistent. In the case of Hon. Wambora, we appointed a Special Committee, although we could have done it in plenary. In the case of the Governor of Kericho, we appointed a Special Committee. I think that those Committees that we appointed did an excellent job ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to declare an interest in this matter. I am a small-scale tea farmer in Meru County. Therefore, I have an interest in this question. But having said that, I do not have any interest over and above other tea farmers in the country. This statement is of great importance especially because of the media reports that have appeared alleging irregularities and manipulation of tea prices at the Mombasa Tea Auction. It is true we have received a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture. Upon carefully perusing the statement, I am not satisfied ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will follow your wise counsel and invite both the Cabinet Secretary, the KTDA and the managers of the Mombasa Tea Auction (MTA), that is the Kenya Tea Traders Association (KTTA), to appear before our Committee so that we can probe them when they are together. That way, we can get a better report which we can bring to the House. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Most obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have that statement but I think it is a logical way to proceed. Indeed, I would like when we invite those three players, to invite all Senators from tea growing areas to attend. We can even go to Shimba Hall where we used to sit. Any Member with an issue with them can raise it so that we reduce the traffic of questions coming to the plenary. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of the busy recess that we are going to have, I would request that we try to have that meeting in the first week of September. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Report on this Bill has just been tabled a few minutes ago and the Senators do not have the copies. Is it possible for the Clerk to distribute the copies to us, so that we can follow the proceedings? view
