• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: I beg to support this Statement and hope that we will interact with it when it comes to the relevant Committee. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my culture, when your father goes on a long journey, he might allow you to look after the homestead. However, when he comes back, you have to hand over the instruments of power. Is it proper and in order for Sen. Sakaja to continue making those kind of assertions, when just five minutes ago, Sen. Haji was sitting on the seat just next to him? Is it the case where the father has come back and he refuses to handover the key to the bedroom? Could he hand over with immediate effect? view

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was about to support Sen. Cherargei’s Statement request, but he has ventured into unchartered waters. He has requested for a Statement and gone ahead to debate that Statement. Is he in order to mislead along those lines? view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill that has been brought before this House by the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, Sen. Samuel Poghisio. Madam Temporary Speaker, county assemblies are the most important cog in the wheel of devolution. That is why Article 176 (1) of the Constitution says: “There shall be a county government for each count consisting of a county assembly and a county executive”. As Sen. Orengo keeps reminding us, it was deliberately constructed in that manner to show that county assemblies are the ones that represent the will of the ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, statutory instruments are means of making law. Law is made from Bills that have been passed by the assemblies. They can come up with bylaws, circulars or regulations. The absence of Statutory Instruments Act or law for county assemblies has created a gap where county executives have been doing crazy things without consulting the people and the county assemblies. Madam Temporary Speaker, to further reinforce my argument that county assemblies are important, I dare say more important than the Senate, to an extent, in making sure that devolution succeeds in the counties. They have functions that the ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we went to Kakamega County two or three years ago, there was a proposal - I think this was in the Finance Bill that was before the assembly - to tax anybody who owned chicken. In that county if you do not own chicken, you are considered a foreigner. There was supposed to be huge tax for the owners of chicken, livestock and trucks bringing sugar, which is the bedrock of the economy of that region. There was also a tax on private funerals. These are things that the executive cannot sit in a corner and ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Even in Nairobi, there are by-laws that run this city. In my reading of statutory instruments, a by-law would qualify for each of those regulations that should be brought before the assembly. Nairobi has very interesting by-laws. I want to challenge the County Assembly of Nairobi County that once they pass this and it becomes an Act of Parliament, they should subject it by the by-laws, proclamations by the governor and the executive to Parliamentary or assembly for review and ratification. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, even as we talk of a statutory instruments law for county assemblies, we know that at the national Parliament, we have a problem. The Statutory Instruments Act that governs the national Legislature – the Senate and the National Assembly - has a lot of friction. I was in the last Parliament and we saw a situation where the Senate approves a statutory instrument and the National Assembly rejects it. Then, the question was: What next? view
