• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the students have left the Chamber but I would have wished them well. I wish to welcome Senators back from the long recess. Quite a number of Senators were engaged in various types of mischief because the Evaluation Fund that they were supposed to use to keep them busy was not forthcoming. There has been a complaint that there are people signing this House into oblivion. My submission is that we are the ones signing ourselves into oblivion. We are giving away our sovereignty as a House. Not too long ago, we brought in Cabinet Secretaries into ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: privilege of Parliament to tell us that he protested by body language. He needs to protest in language that can be heard, described and written down. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have allowed Governors to defy summons of this House. The Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources summoned the Governor for Murang‘a County, but he did not appear. The Inspector General refused to arrest him and then that Governor sneaked into this Parliament to take tea. We have Governors who say they will not appear before oversight Committees of this House. Then, they have the guts to call this House to a meeting in Naivasha and propose to the Speaker to convene a meeting to discuss a matter before a Committee. These Standing Orders say that ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: The same way the Chief Justice cannot direct a judge or a magistrate on a matter, is the same way the Senate Business Committee or the Speaker cannot direct the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights or the Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments on a matter. We are the ones signing away our sovereignty and it is high time we stood up. One of the perfect opportunities we have is on The Division of Revenue Bill. Let us not allow counties to get less than Kshs335billion that this House has already recommended upon the recommendation of ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to join Sen. Outa from Kisumu County in thanking the Senate for descending on the City of Kisumu. From what we hear, there are businesses that had suffered for a while and when the Senators and members of the county assemblies came to Kisumu, business was spurred. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: I also wish to congratulate the team that put together the arrangements for that event. It went on almost flawlessly without any disturbance. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the team does its post-mortem, we probably might need to ask ourselves whether we need to do the Legislative Summit and the Devolution Conference every year. Having come from Kirinyaga County where Governors were showing off their fuel guzzlers and their trappings of power, we then went immediately to Kisumu. An honest assessment of Kisumu was that the Senate was very committed to that particular event. There were Senators present from the first day, the pre-conference events, all the way to the last day. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: The reality is that our brothers and sisters from the county assemblies did not turn up in the numbers or percentages we had expected. As we do the post-mortem assessment, let us find ways of ensuring that we engage all Members of the county assemblies and the Senate and ensure that attendance is enforced and observed. However, let us ask ourselves whether it is important to separate these jamborees and say that one The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
