• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join my colleagues in thanking and congratulating you for presiding over this session that has lifted the lid off the pressure that this country has been under. For that, this is a belated Christmas gift to Kenyans. I hope that today you will allow me to refer to you as Father Christmas. I hope there would be no point of order on that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we proceed to the New Year, it is obvious that the work that this Committee will do will be a big relief to many Kenyans. The date ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is noted. I withdraw. The message is this; let us have new commissioners for the IEBC so that it can become a new year gift to Kenyans. We are many months beyond the timelines that we have put in place. Let us have a situation where the political class is involved in the issue of voter register cleansing because looking at accuracy alone is not enough. We must look at validity. Finally, I do pray that the Senate Majority Leader will call us back to deal with the issue of the doctor’s strike. As we talk ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I came in late and my statement has passed and I apologise. I have been looking for the relevant Standing Order for coming late but I did not find it. Nonetheless, I understand that the statement that I requested for is ready and it has taken eight months. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence that the statement be read in an abridged form. I have seen it and it is lengthy. Could the Chair just abridge it and then I will comment on it? view
• 16 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have previously extolled the remarkable virtues of the Chairperson of this Committee. Never before have you attributed the word “parrot” to him. So, I would not want him to be a parrot. However, I seek your indulgence. We requested for this Statement in March. It is only in the last three weeks that the Chairperson has attempted to respond to it. You may recall that the first response was that those were national secrets that could not be revealed but you intervened. The Chairperson went back, camped at the Ministry and got a statement. It would ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I also support the amendment by Sen. Madzayo to establish the County Cereals and Produce Boards (CCPB). The functions of the board are being amended by Sen. Madzayo, and when we establish a County Cereals and Produce Board, it cannot undertake research. Research should be undertaken at the national level by the NCPB which is a national state corporation. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my senior, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, has been very specific on the documents that will guide this House in executing this matter. I just want to request for provision of one more document; hat is the contract signed with the implementers of the project. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairman has talked of the commencement date of the project but there could be a difference between the commencement date and the date which the contract was signed. It must come out clearly that on the date on which the contract was signed. Public participation should have happened, environmental impact ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The intent of asking for these documents is because they have dates and we are able to examine and see whether things were done in the proper sequence. Therefore, is the Chair in order to attempt to belittle the request by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale? view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to indicate that one of the questions that I asked was not responded to my satisfaction because it was misunderstood. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I requested for an explanation on how the increased volumes of water coming into Nairobi would be drained out, I did not mean the simplistic explanation that the Chairperson has given. What is the sewage plan for Nairobi that goes hand in hand with this water project that goes into Nairobi? I would be happy if that could be addressed. If it comes alongside the documents next week, I would still be happy. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is a Statement listed on the Order Paper which I expected would be responded to. I am just seeking your guidance. view
