• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: have a spatial plan for all your urban areas as you sit here. You should ask yourself; what does my county look like? How many buildings are there? How many roads are there? If you go to your sub-counties, you also need to ask yourself a few questions. You need to know how many feeder roads are there in those sub-counties. That is when you will know that it behooves you to fight hard, so that not a single penny is deducted from those funds. You cannot remove those funds. Recently, we were told that our colleagues, who are in ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me, first of all, acknowledge the good work that Sen. Dullo has been doing for the people of Isiolo County. If it was not for her diligence in ensuring that those people get their services - that those hospitals which are now shut are opened so that the people get services - we would not be discussing this matter. This is unprecedented. This is the first time that your Chair has almost censured a sitting governor. This House protects devolution. The framers of the Constitution gave this House powers to ensure accountability, a fiduciary responsibility on ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have listened to your Communication and I do not intend to vary your Communication. It is well thought out, but I think we have got the powers in this House. Article 125 of the Constitution and our Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, Section 18 and 19 gives us that power. We have fined this governor Kshs1 million, I think twice now and we want to know whether he has paid that to the Clerk of the House. We have a police station which is domiciled in the precincts of Parliament. Why can we not authorize that? ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Finally, I want to request the Inspector-General of Police, who I believe is a fine gentleman, who I believe is someone who is committed to ensuring that there is discipline in this country; to expeditiously go and make sure that that Governor is taken to jail. You cannot violate Section 19 of the Parliamentary Power and Privileges Act. You cannot violate someone from this Senate and you continue there and yet this is the same Senate that is fighting for you to get money. Seriously! That is completely ludicrous. I hope that everyone here and today, let us not talk ... view
• 14 Oct 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember very well that you had allowed us to ask questions. However, I have just heard you saying that you will now be giving us a communication on the way forward. Were the questions to be responded to or was the matter debated upon? It is just an issue of procedure. view
• 14 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 14 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want the counsel of the governor to clarity for me something. The counsel for the Assembly has presented facts that this matter had already been determined by a court. In their volume one, page 131, there is a finding of the court that when it comes to the issue of two-thirds, it is not an issue where you determine the question of a human being able to be fractioned, but rather, it is scientific. Are you then, in your submission, questioning, or rather, have you challenged, or has anyone else challenged that finding of ... view
• 14 Oct 2024 in Senate: Dunda with the County Assembly of Tana River? That is a point that I would like you to clarify because this is a finding of the court. Secondly, on that issue, is the finding on the matter to deal with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), where the court according to the facts presented by the Assembly, stated that you round off to the nearest whole number. What would be the nearest whole number in a matter which is 31.3? Is it 31 or is it 32? Thank you. view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me begin by appreciating the Prime Cabinet Secretary. These proceedings are live and while seated here, I have just received a question from a Kenyan who lives in the USA and another one who lives in the United Kingdom (UK). Their concern is one and it has got to do with a fiduciary responsibility of our embassies across the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the query is very simple and you will allow me to refer to the message which has just been sent to me. This relates to the address number 45, Portland Place, ... view
