• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: 229 of the Constitution requires us to consider those reports within three months of tabling. Some of these reports were tabled last week and we only have three months according to the Constitution. If we go beyond that, it will be unconstitutional. We cannot be the same people holding governors to account for acting unconstitutionally and with disregard to the rule law yet we are the same people doing the same thing. The Senate must take a different view as far as oversight is concerned but we must build the capacity of our county assemblies. I do hope that we ... view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have rightly noted that this is not the first time that the House is getting involved in this process. For the record, the last time this House had to fight. This House put up a very spirited fight for the interpretation of Parliament being a bicameral institution to be respected by the appointing authorities. I am glad that the appointing or nominating authorities have taken the considerations and discussions that occurred in this House seriously by bringing this to the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have committed this matter to a Joint Committee of both Houses ... view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: House rejects the report of the Joint Committee, what happens then? Do we have a mediation mechanism or does it mean that the nomination, therefore, collapses? I beg for your guidance. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the “Duke of Vihiga County,” Sen. Khaniri, for bringing this important Statement to the House. I was just consulting the Senator for Migori County; and even though our sisters from northern Kenya would consider themselves to be the ones with the greatest amount of problems, it is a problem shared by counties that are at the border. Homa Bay County is at the border with Uganda while Migori is at the border with Uganda and Tanzania. We similarly suffer when it comes to this issue of registration. In the past, it has been ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with Sen. Halake. I have said that it was a process of disenfranchisement, which is a denial of rights. It has been a fact that if you go to certain areas associated with leaders like Sen. Wetangula, there was a feeling that the numbers would be suppressed deliberately. That suppression starts from the issuance of birth certificates. You are also aware that to sit for a national examination in this country, to register for the KCPE or the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), you need a birth certificate. Therefore, when you deny people birth ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is because in Kenya today, you cannot make a decision on remuneration and compensation without involving the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). You cannot make a decision on division of revenue and allocation of revenue without involving the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). Likewise, Government departments should not also be allowed to come with all sorts of ICT projects that are aimed at drawing commissions and kickbacks without the involvement and the professional input of the Ministry for Information, Communication and Technology. Even though we are going into the NIIMS, where we are capturing biometric data ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding these databases and containers that hold citizen data, we must allow the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology to have the last word on such projects, because ICT is a shared service. We are seeing line Ministries coming up with big multi-billion-shilling projects where the intention is to earn commissions. Consequently, when they come before the Senate or Parliament, they say that those are matters before court or secret. view
