• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was seeking your guidance even as I was making my contribution to the Motion, because this is a Motion with regard to the mediation effort. My assumption is that the Bill that we need to consider will be 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
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the past, the Government has appointed certain individuals as special envoys or advisors in situations like these where there is conflict. The last time conflict broke up in South Sudan, Kenya appointed Hon. Dalmas Otieno as a special envoy. Could the Chairperson confirm whether the Hon. Dalmas Otieno still acts as the special envoy of Kenya to South Sudan, under what terms he is holding that position and whether Kenya intends to continue using his services in the future in the light of the fresh outbreak of violence? view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my younger brother, Sen. Cheruiyot, pre- empted what I wanted to say. I am glad that with the powers and privileges that we have as Members of Parliament (MPs), no teargas shall be unleashed on him for asking for the resignation of the concerned Cabinet Secretary. There is an element of cluelessness on the part of the government. When citizens disappear and the Government cannot offer a reasonable explanation and they still need time to find out whether the children disappeared, it shows that the Government is clueless. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the extent of cluelessness grows beyond ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee on Roads and Transport in which I sit, has previously summoned the Cabinet Secretary to respond to that specific issue. I do not know whether it will be proper for the Committee to bring the response because the Cabinet Secretary appeared before us and came with a written statement. I do not know whether it would be proper for us to hand that statement to the Committee on Implementation or bring it to the House to avoid a situation where we call the Cabinet Secretary to respond to the same matter on two occasions. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairperson for the detailed response. However, I would like to seek clarification on two issues. The Chairperson has indicated that the Commission has received complaints regarding the recruitment exercise. I would like to find out how many of the complaints relate to bribery or corruption. I have received complaints from young men and women who attempted to join the police force through this recruitment and it was clearly indicated to them that if they did not have Kshs200,000, they would not join the police force. I would also like the Chairperson to clarify to ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I wish to congratulate and thank the Mover of the Bill, Sen. Sijeny. We are aware that many attempts have been made to deal with the issues that Sen. Sijeny has brought before this House. Many of them have not succeeded partly because of the jingoism that many political leaders in this country have and partly because of the attitudes that we have towards the implementation of the new Constitution. I support this Bill for two reasons; the first one is because the Constitution ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the older they get, the younger they want to be. So, you are safe if you do not allude to age on their part. My argument is that women should not look forward to tokenism and favours. We know that they have been left behind historically but tokens will not propel them to that level. We live with ladies. My wife is more educated and qualified professionally than I am. She has transcended that mental bondage that she is a woman. She sees herself as an individual and a human being who is capable and competent ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes when you have tough subjects involving legal minds and experienced legislators like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you need a fisherman like me who is experienced in disentangling nets. I see two things here. Is this Bill properly in the House or this is an exercise in futility? I agree with you that on the question of whether this is an exercise in futility, we are being pre-emptive. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as to whether the Bill is in the House properly, when I look in the Constitution and Standing Orders, I see sections which oblige the Speakers of both Houses to do certain things before a Bill comes to this House. I want to assume that, that was done. Of course, the wording of the Constitution says that whether it concerns county Governments or special or ordinary Bill; I want to believe that this Bill was subjected to Article 110(3) of the Constitution. Secondly, our Standing Order No.117 talks about introduction of Bills; what must be done ... view
