• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will then leave that and probably raise a substantive request for a statement. In as much as the Chair has also raised a lot of issues on what the Government is doing, agriculture is devolved. I would wish to encourage him to update this House on what is it that counties are doing as far as availability of fertilizer is concerned. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to comment on the first Communication that you have made regarding consultations with the Cabinet Secretary for Health. I am glad that the cabinet secretaries are taking this House seriously. I have just realized that we have a framework for seeing and discussing what the national Government is doing in many of these devolved units. Unfortunately, there seems not to be a very strong structure for us to discuss with governors and see what we are doing. This issue of leased medical equipment is a national Government matter that was forced down the throats ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you allow me just to wrap up on the second Communication that you have made. It is important that this House also pronounces itself because when we discussed this issue of pending bills, which you have now provided very good direction on, we have seen in the public people who hold positions of responsibility rubbishing what the Senate is doing. The Senate must take a strong stand against people who rubbish what we are doing because the figures that were brought here that prompted us to ask for direction came from county treasuries. ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also hold the view that in as much as some people think the Petition is frivolous, it is the work of the committee to which it shall be committed to find out whether it is frivolous or not. I sense in this Petition some desperation on the part of citizens. The Constitution is clear on ways in which the Constitution can be amended. It can be amended by popular initiative or parliamentary initiative. Probably, this petitioner has looked at the process that some players in this country have taken to amend the Constitution by popular ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. I respect your ruling. However, I want to make it clear for any subsequent petitioner that they do not have to come to this House. They can go by popular initiative. The parties that are supposed to receive the signatures and draft issues for consideration in a referendum should be guided by this Constitution. Article 257(4) and (5) of the Constitution is very clear. The things that IEBC has done to Okoa Kenya initiative are legal gymnastics. That is why Mr. Mareko has found it fit to come to this Senate for that ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 45(2)(b), I rise to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations regarding the status of the national security communication system. In the Statement, the Chairperson should state:- 1. The objective and total cost of the project. 2. The geographic coverage of the project and what Kenyans should expect from it. 3. The lead implementers of the said project and the procedure used under the Public Procurement and DisposalsAct to select and award the implementers. 4. The current status of this project and its ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Nos.7 and 8 are intertwined. 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
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: A month from today is okay, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I also beg to support this Motion on the membership of the CPAIC. I congratulate the membership of the Committee. I thank the RBC together with the leadership of this House because the mood in this House is better than what prevailed when this matter first came up. This is evidence that when we sleep over matters, we are always in a position to resolve and that this House is a serious House as Kenyans expect. The delay in the proper constitution of this Committee has meant that reports from the CPAIC of ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the House has requested the Chairperson of the Committee to make confirmations on pending bills. Could we also get pending bills owed to the youth, women and persons with disability because there is a 30 per cent that is supposed to be allocated to them? If the total pending bill is Kshs37 billion, one could simply do 30 per cent of that and say women, the youth and persons with disability, are owed Kshs1 billion. This would not be very difficult for the Committee to do because, currently, there is a reporting requirement that counties and all ... view
