• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, with a lot of respect to the Chairperson, I do not want to shoot the messenger even though I believe that as the Chairperson of the Committee, he is more than a messenger. I have canvassed nine issues in that Statement. Not all of them can be issues of high national security. These are issues that concern Kenyans and are alive. This is a project that has been called ‘Safaricom Gate’. This is a project that is seen to--- view
• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, much obliged, but the prayer by the Chairperson that this matter be prosecuted in camera is not acceptable. view
• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my request for Statement is much briefer than the other one. view
• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources on the water hyacinth menace in Lake Victoria. In the Statement, the Chairperson should: 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
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just to establish my interest in this matter, I am a former student of Moi University and to be more specific, I was the Secretary General of the students’ union in 1999. It saddens me when--- view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was establishing locus standi on this matter. I want to find out from the Chairman of the Committee whether it is the policy of Jubilee Government to ethicize our universities. When I was at the university, our Vice Chancellor was Prof. Raphael Munavu, a Kenyan and an academic who came from what we called Eastern Province and the university thrived. Is it a policy by the Jubilee Government to ethnicize university education because some of the calls that we have been hearing are that universities must be led by people from those regions? Secondly, ... view
• 1 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee for the response. You noted from the response by the Chairperson that the SFRTF was established by the late hon. Karissa Maitha in 2003. That means that the current Government has not done anything new when it comes to this particular domain. My specific area of interest is that the SFRTF was allocated land in Pipeline Area, Nairobi. The specific land reference No.LR209/11325. Could the Chairperson of the Committee confirm to this House the following:- (1) Whether the land that was meant for SFRTF was transferred from ... view
• 1 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Listening to Sen. Karaba who is under pressure from farmers in his county to get payment, the issue here is that the company claims that their funds are held in Imperial Bank which has collapsed. However, there is a Kenya Depositors Protection Scheme. Probably, what Sen. Karaba is canvassing is how the Government can come in through that avenue. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not going to get into the content because, as you said, there is no Statement. However, I would like to seek your guidance on procedure. Are committees supposed to be conveyor belts for the Executive? This is because the Vice Chair of the Committee, Sen. Adan, said that the Statement is awaiting a signature somewhere. She has not seen it and it has not come back to the Committee. Therefore, she does not know whether it satisfactorily responds to the issues raised by the Senate Minority Leader. So, should Chairpersons ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to respond to the request for a Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Lesan. He wanted to know the status of farmers’ money placed by the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) in fixed accounts in troubled banks. This Statement was circulated to Members yesterday. It is fairly detailed and, therefore, you will allow me to skip the background information and go straight to the questions and the responses because Members have the copies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator wanted to know how much money is held in fixed deposit accounts in Imperial Bank Limited and ... view
