• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Bill that is before the House on the County Governments’ Retirement Scheme. Even before I contribute further, I hope that this Bill is not being introduced in the two Houses of Parliament at the same time because it will be interesting to see how that will work out. The information that we had was that a similar Bill could have been brought before the National Assembly. If the same Bill is coming from both Houses at the same time, it might pose some constitutional challenges. However, because the Bill ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: with them, they were up in arms. They felt that the Bill that we were attempting to push through at that point in time would hand over the control of county pensions to the national Government.

• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is the Senator in order to say that “slay queens” should not be employed by counties?

• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. The IPU is one of the ways through which parliament engages in diplomacy; something called Parliamentary diplomacy that people do not take seriously. We believe that diplomacy is only when a Cabinet Secretary and other state officials engage with foreign nations. It needs to be said that Parliament also carries out its diplomacy through organisations like the IPU, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) and other different parliamentary groupings that this Parliament has subscribed to. When this Motion was moved, I was not sure whether we would talk about migration ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am glad that I caught your eye on this opportunity. I wish to join you in welcoming the boys from Kanga Boys High School. This is a citadel of academic excellence not just in Nyanza, but in Kenya as a whole. It has produced a lot of people who have ended up in this House. In the ‘Lower’ House, there are a huge number of people who came out of Kanga Boys High School. I just want to encourage the boys to continue aspiring and excelling the way they have done in the ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Committee on Delegated Legislation for bringing this statement. Parliament represents the will of the people. That is what the Constitution says. There are those who argue that, that will can be represented in the National Assembly or the Senate. Therefore, it is not that we are crying that we do not want the National Assembly to do certain things. In fact, if they take the lead in representing the will of the people, so be it. Article 110(3) obliges the Speaker of the National Assembly to have a conversation on each and every ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take that point of information very positively because the current Act says that the National Assembly is a mandatory recipient of all regulations but the Senate is not. So, this Committee must also help us to ensure that we have a good footage. Finally, as a nation we chose bicameralism. Bicameralism is like polygamy. We chose to have two Houses of Parliament. It is like choosing to have two wives. You have to live with it. The problems between us and the National Assembly will not go away on their own. It requires some soberness ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Initially, when I saw this on the Order Paper, I was a bit curious and afraid that this amendment could be affecting the division of revenue downwards. There has been some talk that since the Government is struggling to meet its revenue targets, there is need to revise the division of revenue.

• 31 May 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Kipchumba Murkomen raises a very important issue which we needed to test. He talks about the Health Bill not having been signed. When I look at the website of the Presidency, on 21th June, 2017, the President assented to the Heath Bill. Could Sen. Kipchumba Murkomen just brief the House which other Bill is pending because the last Senate worked on the Health Bill and to my recollection, it was assented to. The only challenge we are having is that the national Government is hesitant to implement the provisions of the ... view
