• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want us to be clear and go on the record accurately. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., who is a Member of the Senate Business Committee (SBC), should not mislead the House to say that this House has missed an opportunity, when a report has been tabled and has not been withdrawn from the House. Is the Senator in order to say that we have missed the opportunity? view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. when I saw this Statement on the Order Paper, I thought that Sen. Kang’ata will introduce the subject of hyper liberalism as opposed to the ultra-conservatism that is capturing the world but he has brought about issues of morality which even though I sympathise with him, but for a lawyer of the standing of Sen. Irungu Kang’ata, who is doing his PhD--- He knows that when he is unhappy with the decisions of the court, a good lawyer like him would go on to appeal. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot sit here ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to ride on that Statement because there is something fundamental that would benefit this House. I did not hear the Senator for Isiolo ask for a statement on the budgetary allocation for this project. It will be very useful for this House, even as we consider the impact of LAPSSET on Isiolo and its environs. If possible, the Chairperson of the Committee should also tell this House whether LAPSSET has been given an adequate budget to achieve its objectives. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue of fall army worms is not only restricted to the regions that Sen. Seneta has listed. With her indulgence, I urge that she expands this, so that we have a national analysis of the implication of fall army worms because, even in Homa Bay County, we find these army worms and they are affecting our harvests and crops. I sit in the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and believe that if we expand its scope to a national assessment, it will be possible for the Ministry of Agriculture to ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been through this, where a Statement is requested and a Chairman responds immediately. We have said that if it is possible for that to happen, then it will be very efficient; but it should not compromise quality and content. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to have a broader interpretation on this issue of circulars, because our job is to legislate. However, there are also other circulars which bring certain matters into effect beyond our legislative duties. For example, there is a circular at the county level on which this request for a statement has been ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I request that because you have a list before you and you are subjecting Members to standing up and down, squatting up and down. Would I be in order to request that you read out the list so that we know the order and then we can be saved the trouble of having to stand up after every two minutes? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, that I have finally got the opportunity. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: This is not a problem of Turkana County as other contributors have said. The area around Lake Victoria has 46 gazetted drilling blocs with the area around Lake Victoria designated as Bloc 12 D and has been assigned to Tullow Oil. When we debate this matter, I am conscious that one day, oil will be struck in Lake Victoria. The decision we make today will come to haunt us. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, due to limitations of time, let me just refer this House to Article 71 of the Constitution. It talks about the role of Parliament in ratifying transactions relating to natural resources. Besides that, Parliament passed a Bill, now an Act of Parliament that is called Natural Resources Transactions Subject to Parliamentary Ratification. One of those transactions listed there is extraction of crude oil. How can it be today that an entire Ministry and Government can come up with a Bill that excludes parliamentary role in scrutiny and ratification of these agreements? view
