• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairperson of the Committee for reading that statement. Whereas, in theory the process of seeking Government jobs or tenders has improved, in reality youth, women and persons with disabilities still face challenges. One of challenges is late payment for jobs done. I would like to find out from the Chairperson of the Committee whether there is an agreed upon duration that jobs that have been completed should be paid? Is there an agree upon duration--- view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wanted to contribute in sheng but I studied your demeanour and I knew I will be in trouble for misdeamenour because 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
• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Chair of the Committee for the detailed response. I just need some few clarifications. We have been informed that the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits that were procured during the last General election are obsolete because the batteries had a three year life- cycle. This means that these BVR kits will not be used in the next elections. I therefore would like to get some clarifications whether the IEBC has a budget and whether it has been allocated funds to replace these BVR kits. Also, considering that it is less ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Bomet for bringing this Bill to the House. It is a well thought out Bill, very relevant and its intention is to give life to Article 57 of the Constitution. There are those people who think that this Senate is a House of old men. Today, when we are discussing a Bill on elderly persons, they would assume that today is the day we are doing our job. I want to put them to shame and tell them that this House is not an old men’s home, the old men’s home ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was advocating that old people should consume. I advise old people not to listen to the advice from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who is a Senator and a Member of this House, because if you start consuming chang’aa and busaa in retirement, you will definitely die. If you want to do it in retirement, then start it early and not after you have retired. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one thing that we have not remembered to bring up in the debate as we talk about teachers and their payment is that earlier this year, Justice Janet Mulwa ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, DNA came recently. So, we have been using physical attributes to trace parenthood, but that was on a light note. We might need to rationalize and standardize that definition of old persons. There is an Act in this country called the Social Assistance Act of 2013. This Act set up an authority called the National Social Assistance Authority. I do not know what they do or their address and even if you look around to find out whether this has been set up, it is not very clear. This sometimes tells you that we can come ... view
• 24 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement on this matter is not ready. However, I undertake to follow it up and have it issued in the next two weeks. view
• 24 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In the English language, there is a word called “absconding” which refers to a situation where a leader or someone gives up a job that they have been given to do. Would I be in order, in light of the fact that the Senate Majority Leader is not here and the President is also not in the country to say that the Jubilee Government has abdicated and absconded duty? view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Chairman of the Education Committee for bringing the statement at short notice. We expected it to come yesterday, but we debated a Motion of Adjournment on the same matter. If you divide the Kshs1.3 billion with the 260,000 teachers, it comes to about Kshs4,000, per teacher. This is really a pittance. We are already paying village elders, old people all over the country such an amount and yet we find it difficult to pay our teachers this amount. I just want to find out from the Chairman of the Committee ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairman of the Committee for bringing this report to the House. I would like to share a personal experience on this matter. I have young people from my county who received letters of admission to the KMTC through the KUCCPS and others who received letters through KMTC. The parents of these children were very excited. Everyone wants their children to undertake a course as noble as medical studies. The process of raising fees to take these children to school and mobilizing resources is lengthy and laborious. We, as Senators, and elected leaders, get ... view
