Finally, I am excited that we seem to be putting in place a proper framework for monitoring and evaluation. Audits by their nature are post-mortems. The duty and mandate of the CPAIC as captured in the Standing Orders is postmortem in nature. If we integrate a monitoring and evaluation framework and do it properly, we will been able to respond and deal with the issues that are current and alive.

governments escapes the scrutiny of the Senate. This is because in the last Session and in the past Parliaments, we have seen a situation where it is believed that all statutory instruments should be treated by the National Assembly.

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion; which is a fairly straightforward one. There are two other Sessional Committees that are yet to be constituted; that is, the Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) and the Committee on Delegated Legislation. I want to encourage the House Business Committee to engage the House so that we can also find a way of ensuring that there is a better continuity of some of these select Committees. While we were out on recess, we saw that our brothers in the

Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir I pray that the Senate Business Committee shall prioritise the things that make sense to the common man. In the earlier discussions, we appeared as if this Session will be about referendum, politics, funds and the comfort of the leadership class. We went on recess before we got the report from the Maize Taskforce. I hope that this report will receive the highest priority in this House. Similarly, the Tea Sector Taskforce that was ably chaired by the Senator for Kericho, Sen. Cheruiyot; we hope that, that report will be brought to this House within the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must put the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the spot because the President promised in October last year that the cane farmers from our regions will be paid immediately. However, to date, they have not been paid and we are getting all sorts of different stories. I hope that the Senate Business Committee will put those issues that touch on the common man at the centre of its focus and agenda of this House. This is because seek ye first that kingdom and then the rest of the peace, cohesion and prosperity ...
