• 15 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you have given directions on a matter that I wanted to raise. view

• 15 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the County Statutory Instruments Bill. I also congratulate the Committee on Delegated Legislation, chaired by Sen. Sang, the young Senator from Nandi County, for bringing this Bill to the House. He is my colleague whom I am not afraid to call “young” because I saw the sun before him. The objective of this Bill is quite straightforward. It provides a comprehensive framework for scrutiny, publication and operation of statutory instruments. You do not need to be a lawyer or an advocate of the High Court to see the sense in this particular Bill. Having come ... view

• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to talk about the petition by David Gesicho on the issue of Sukuk and Islamic bonds. It is very painful to pay interest on a loan that has been used improperly. We need to look at the depth and root of this petition. If as a country or a county, you borrow US$1 billion which cannot be traced or Kshs791 million is traced to the political class, it becomes very painful to repay that interest. I pray that the Committee will use the Eurobond as a case study of how Government borrowing should not be ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman for that response. However, just as Sen. Okong’o mentioned, there are a lot of intentions in this, yet time is running out. All sports activities where the State has had a hand are in disarray. There have been scandals with regard to soccer and volleyball. Now the same is coming to athletics. All State sponsored sports initiatives and promises made by the Government have not come to fruition. We all recall that the current Government promised five stadia. By now we should have seen, at least, two or three stadia, but ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, allow me to summarize. The Chair has talked about the anti-doping agency that is being established and issues to do with legislation. The global anti-doping agency has already said that the policy and legislation that Kenya is coming up with does not meet its standards. I would like the Chairman to assure this House that this particular matter that is being pushed in the National Assembly shall be amended so that it meets those requirements. If that does not happen we will not have a Kenyan athlete participating in the Rio athletics in August. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, considering the mood and the atmosphere in this House on this particular matter, it would be prudent to support the adjournment Motion moved by Sen. Murkomen. Let me talk about the intention or the reasoning behind the postponement of debate on this particular matter, which I do not agree with. This is because, if we are going to base it on Standing Order No.178 and if you are going back to the RBC to say that this Motion breached Standing Order No.178, that then would be an unfortunate position which I would not support. I would support ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I conclude, let us put out our best 10 irrespective of party affiliation and I want to urge my colleagues that we avoid brinkmanship. If we are differing on this and taking it back to the Rules and Business Committee (RBC), let it be for seeking goodwill and avoiding a partisan approach. Let it not be on the basis of Standing Order No.178. Thank you. view
