• 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
• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the proposal by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that a strong message needs to be sent out to the Whips on both sides of this House.

In fact, it is only between Tuesday and Thursday where we have an ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not send greetings because the Senator for Kakamega has done what people from his county are good at. However, I went to Lenana School and we used to beat Alliance High School in Rugby, once in a while in drama and when it came to the ladies, but they used to beat us in academics. I congratulate the teachers and students of this great school for upholding the high academic standards. I know that in this Gallery today, there are a number of you who will be sitting where we are sitting today. Some ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Kakamega, whom I respect a lot, has said that some Members of this House have been associated with corruption at the National Youth Service (NYS). Could he substantiate which Members of this House he is referring to, because I am a Member of this House and I have not been mentioned with regard to the NYS? view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to second this Bill. When Sen. M. Kajwang’ seconds a Bill moved by Sen. Murkomen, it shows the nation that there is hope that we are not partisan as a Senate and we focus on the national good when it comes to serious business. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, fisheries industry is said to contribute to about 0.5 per cent revenue to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Since we rebased our GDP, it is reported that our GDP is about USD55 billion. So, if you take 0.5 per cent of that, you can clearly see ... view

• 15 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to welcome Sen. Cheruiyot. He was elected by the people of Kericho. I heard some people say that he was elected by a computer. But I know he was elected by people of Kericho. It is them who went to the polls to elect their Senator. With his election, the average age of this Senate has suddenly dropped. He brings in some freshness and vigour. Whereas the average age could have been 65, it has suddenly dropped to about 60 by the arrival of Sen. Cheruiyot. view
