• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have previously interacted with this subject in the previous Parliament where we had a joint committee that was chaired by Sen. Sakaja. It was the Committee on Equal Opportunity and National Cohesion. How I wish we still had joint committees because some of the matters that we enquire about here are matters that--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: There is an overlap in the mandate of the National Assembly. Remember Article 93 does not prohibit us from pursuing any matter of representation. So, there is no contradiction. It is just that sometimes there could be repetition. The Government established the Superannuation Fund which is now the new Mega Fund for retirement benefits and retirement plans for the civil service. It will be important for us to understand whether those PWD who work in the Government have any special scheme or consideration. Upon retirement, at the age that has been defined, are their retirement benefits similar to those of ... view

• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for using one of the least used Standing Order 51(1). It would appear that this is the kind of statement that would trigger debate akin to a statement by a minister in the House. Standing Order 51(1) (a) does not limit the debate. However, debate is limited under Standing Order 51(1)(b) to 20 minutes. I am borrowing a leaf from what Sen. Sakaja has done. I also encourage other Chairpersons of Committee to use that provision of the Standing Order as the best way to ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Members of Parliament who champion the rights of persons with disabilities the criteria, amounts and numbers that are involved here. Finally, there is also the hunger safety net that applies in certain sections of the country. I hope that the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, in his next communication will tell us how the four safety nets are distributed, the amounts and number of beneficiaries distributed across the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Principal Secretary in the State Department for Social Protection, Mr. Nelson Marwa, who has been responsible for these programmes. He is ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion that, the House do adopt the Report of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) with regards to the report on the Auditor-General’s opinions and findings on county governments for those financial years that have been stated. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I contribute on this Motion, I want to take note that this Report that is before the House bears my name. It was done when I was chairing the CPAIC; when I had that singular privilege and honour to lead this House in its oversight arrangements. Mr. ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: I want to urge as we have proposed before, that let us adopt our Standing Orders to ensure that there is continuity in the operations of Sessional Committees until a new a Committee is put in place. This is because there is nobody who will come from outside this House to form part of those Committees. All the Members who can potentially be Members of those Sessional Committees are already here. What is required is quick decisions. If there is a problem in making decisions, let us just ensure that the Sessional Committee as constituted in the last Session by ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: and Chief Officers (Cos) must be brought to a stop. The person who went and got a mandate and the person who should be held responsible as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the county is the governor. I am glad that Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) has made certain provisions that will make that possible. They will make the governor accountable to the people through the county assembly. The governor will be required to appear before the assembly. Therefore, it will leave the Senate to come up with policy, legislative and administrative solutions to the challenges that are facing county ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we process the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, we should make it clear that such a policy shift should not be undertaken until the Auditor-General has carried out an assessment in the performance of the fund in counties. If we will make the fund part of the equitable share, accounting for those monies will be impossible. We should sit with the Auditor-General, go beyond the RMLF and demand a performance audit of some of the conditional grants that go to counties. We have the Kenya Urban Support Programme, Kenya ... view
