• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, backed your ruling, it is my pleasure to second this Bill. In as much as I am not very familiar with the many factors that have been brought up by the Senator, I am convinced that the Senator, being the one who defends and protects the interests of devolution and represents the county where the Third Schedule of the County Governments Act has designated its headquarter as Kerugoya urban area. Therefore, there must be significant and fundamental reasons to change the physical location of the headquarters of Kirinyaga County to Kutus urban area. As I second ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am obliged to treat all hon. Senators of this House with respect and not impute any improper motives on them. I would withdraw that and say, the operators of the voting machines have left rather than the voting machines. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is accurate. One of the activities we undertake in this House is to vote. We do that by manipulating the voting machines. Invariably there are those colleagues of ours who love that particular exercise of pressing the voting machine more than they love debating. So, those are the operators of the voting machines that I am talking about. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have to wrap up. This is a straightforward matter. I reiterate my conviction that Sen. Karaba has the best interest of the people of Kirinyaga County. I hope that he has not ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in appreciating and welcoming the boys and their teachers from that school with a very difficult name. view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it sounded different when the Senator for Kajiado County mentioned it. view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the name of the school should not define the school. They say that a rose by any other name will still remain a rose. I would like to encourage the boys by urging them to look at this House. There is a misconception that this is a House of elders. However, there is proof that there are young people like Sen. Kajwang, who is speaking, Sen. Cheruiyot, the Senator seating on the Chair and even Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, who is young at heart. Therefore, they should not feel like the interests of the young people are ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I thank the Mover of this Amendment Bill, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. When I was at the university, he was already a renowned professor. In that university, I was leading students as a Secretary General and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo later on led the institution. So, at times when I am in doubt between the Constitution and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, I tend to trust him more because he is older than the Constitution. In this particular matter that the Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo has brought before us, let me make it very clear to county administrators who are ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If they are involved in indiscipline and political activities among other activities that are inconsistent with their job description, the County Public Service Board should have the power to discipline them. In conclusion, may I inform the governors and those who were at Bomas of Kenya saying that the Senate is the enemy of devolution, that through their actions and utterances, they are the ones who are making devolution stink. They should have had confidence that this Senate has got the right mental frame, interest of the nation and that when a Bill is ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to add my voice to this statement. First, I thank the Senator for being industrious enough to bring a statement from the Cabinet Secretary and the county government. My interest in this matter is that the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Level 5 Hospital serves quite a huge catchment of which Homa Bay County that I represent is part of. I get quite dismayed by the level of service and facilities in this institution which has always been blamed on inadequate funding. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not have the benefit of the figures ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: seconded. view
