• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to oppose the amendments to the Report. I listened very carefully to the Mover of the Motion; my teacher and a good Professor, Sen. Kamar, when she was moving it. There is one statement that she made then and I even wrote it down. She said that flooding of maize in this country happened after the Kenya Gazette notices lapsed. That is something that is on record and also captured in the Report that was brought before this House. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the amendment seeks to broaden responsibility, to move from specific public officers, who in this case is the CS, National Treasury and Planning and CS for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation to a committee of a dozen or so people. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Part of the mandate of this Senate Ad hoc Committee on the maize crisis in Kenya was to find out the problem bedeviling the sector; how the imports came in and the circumstances around the gazette notices. Ultimately, this Committee has gone beyond that to define responsibility; the persons who bear the greatest responsibility for the flooding that occurred in the market. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: It will be fairly lazy if this House would be convinced that we hold an entire Inter-Ministerial Committee responsible. The CS, National Treasury and Planning has a role defined by the Constitution. The National Treasury and Planning is defined in the Constitution and more so in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. It has powers to issue certain notices, guidelines and regulations. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: The CS for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation has got some specific responsibilities and obligations because this was about maize. 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
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when I look at the composition of that Inter- Ministerial Committee, it has everyone, including the Head of Public Service. I am just wondering how the Head of Public Service will be held responsible for the flooding which happened after the gazette notices. The notices that the Mover had talked about were three; that were issued by this Inter-Ministerial Committee. However, once the gazette notice is issued, there are those public officers with a responsibility to execute. We have been told that Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) did not collect taxes and the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KeBS) ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is for that reason that I discourage the Committee from moving these amendments. Indeed, you had ruled yesterday that it was important to provide of two things; one, that the Ad hoc Committee sat and agreed on these amendments. Secondly, the amendments were considered within timelines---. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have chaired a Committee and tabled reports in this House. The sanctity of a report, once tabled, is not absolute because there are amendments that are allowed but they must follow some logical sequence. Madam Temporary Speaker, recommendations are based on observations and findings. Once a report is tabled, one cannot start introducing new evidence in the form of minutes. If those minutes were not seen by the Committee and the observations made, it is a little bit dangerous to say that after their report was tabled, we came across certain minutes and realised that it ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move- view
