• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support this amendment that Clause 19 be deleted; that introduces Section 44 (a). The debate the whole day has been on semantics and on the definition of the word complimentary and notwithstanding. I am an ICT practitioner and I want to bring a technical angle to this. Section 44 (a) that is introduced in this Bill is unnecessary because what we are trying to achieve through Section 44 (a) can still be achieved with Section 44 (5) (i). When you were debating this matter, you alluded to it; that the Bill already provides an avenue for ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, I support this amendment. I am looking at the Act that is supposed to be amended and particularly, Section 56. The Act tells me that Section 56 is repealed by Act No.37 of 2016. If we aspire to be the Upper House through which quality checks and controls on legislations shall be undertaken and to inspire the nation to believe in this Senate, then we cannot pass a Bill with such obvious errors. If it means for nothing else, but we cannot be a quality control unit that then passes a Bill to amend a Section that ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support this amendment. It is on rare occasions when we debate in this House that I agree with the Deputy Senate Majority The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I wish to support this amendment. I have had the privilege of serving in this House as a Vice-Chairperson of a Select Committee that was meant to look at the laws relating to prisons and borstal institutions. This was a Committee which was ably chaired by Sen. Dullo. When we went round the prisons and detention facilities, there was clear concern that the laws in place did not take into account the right of prisoners to vote. Perhaps, this can be cured by that typo because it previously said “abroad prisons.” However, it is now ... view

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, the Elections Act 44(6) which was the gist of my earlier argument that we do not need 44A because already the Act gives Parliament in totality a role in the regulations required to be made under subsection 4. However, I support the amendment by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., because the role of this Senate in regulations is limited to the requirements under sub-section 4 and I support that we grant Senate greater powers and particularly the committee that you chair on Delegated Legislation on regulations that relate to elections because they affect counties of which we are ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the people of Homa Bay elected me to come to this House and debate and talk. Talk and debate I shall, whether you give me a minute or half a minute. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I support this amendment. The good thing is that God has given us, you and I, with relative youth and good age. I pray that we shall live to see the day that Sen. Orengo and Sen. (Dr.) G.G. Kariuki have seen today where they The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, I support this amendment. It is extremely important. As we discuss the definition of biometric, there has been this perception that biometric only means fingers to that extent that our brothers from quarrying, fishing and tea picking areas believe that because fingers are deformed, then they will not be identified. It is important that the nation knows that the definition of biometric is extremely wide. It will be a very rare case where you find a Kenyan who lacks any of the many features that have been presented there. I urge that let us not be afraid ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I appreciate the importance of tradition and customs, even though some of them might not be right. We know communities in this country that have got customs that advocate for genital mutilations of females. So, we cannot take everything as it is. Of the many amendments that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has proposed, I support many. There are some that I would beg to differ with. You must give me an option through which I can exercise that choice to support the ones I wish to support and object to the ... view
