• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the petitioners for deeming it fit that the Senate would be able to deal with this matter. I also wish to subscribe to the presentation by Sen. Orengo. Indeed, when the Talai were exiled to Subaland, they were sent to Lambwe Valley which is close to my home, and others were sent to Mfungano Island. There is usually some doubt whether I am Talai, Luo or Suba. However, that is the uniqueness of the people who come from that area. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the petitioners have requested that this matter be sent ... view
• 29 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was following the conversation on radio. I just want to make some very brief remarks. It is a fact that this House in its five year life has never adopted a single report and the Notice of Motion by Sen. Linturi is the first attempt to move this House to adopt a report. In 2010, we passed a new Constitution; in 2012, we did a new Public Finance Management (PFM) Act; and in 2015, we came up with very detailed regulations for the PFM Act but our framework for audit has remained the same. The CPAIC ... view
• 17 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Motion that the House do adjourn for purposes of the Legislative Summit. There are countries that have states or federalism, or what we call devolution. In the United States of America (USA), they have institutionalised the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) which brings together all the 50 plus legislatures. I hope that when we go to Mombasa for the Legislative Summit, we will help the county assemblies to institutionalise the union, so that it is not an annual talking shop but something that has got structures and which other countries can ... view

• 17 May 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. My thing is not working. view
• 17 May 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is a gadget. I did not want to interrupt my brother and the Chairperson of the KYPA, Sen. Arthur Johnson Sakaja. However, having listened to him very carefully, I was hoping that he would correct his misdemeanour on this Floor. Sen. Sakaja has been telling the Senate to go and empower the county assemblies to do their work. Is he in order to say those words, yet just today, in the duty that should be done by the county assemblies with regard to the nomination of a deputy governor for Nairobi, he has already decided that ... view
• 17 May 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senator for Machakos in order to impute and imply that the Senator for West Pokot, Samuel Poghisio, who has been a Member in this House for a long time; a Member of the Cabinet and a man widely educated particularly in Uganda, is sleeping in this House? Is he in order to impute improper motives on Sen. Poghisio? 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
• 16 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support and to congratulate the Committee on Finance and Budget for bringing this particular Bill before the House. If I had time, I would have indulged you in a poem written by Henry Barlow, the Ugandan. I will truncate what he said: “Today, I did my share in building the nation. I drove a Permanent Secretary to an important, urgent function. In fact, to a luncheon at the Vic.” I will stop there because of time but I feel proud today for I am doing my duty as a Senator because ... view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for your ruling and I had initiated the matter. I must also note that I am also a Chair of a committee. When I raised those frustrations, I am part of that big mess that we are trying to address. You have enumerated the challenges that Chairs face and I do not want to belabour or debate before the Liaison Committee sits. However, I wish to urge Members 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, ... view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will continue in a submissive and humble manner. However, I want to remind us that when old bones are mentioned in a proverb, old women usually complain. I hope that the Liaison Committee will also address itself to this particular matter of committees--- view
