• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the amendment. If you look at the detailed report, in (iii) on Page 24, the Committee itself contents that the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) uses a very conservative revenue growth rate. It says actual revenue realisation differs from the growth rate used in the BPS. The Committee, in its report says that the average actual revenue performance for the last four years is about 13 to 14 per cent. Therefore, the rate of revenue should be used at the minimum to compute the equitable share for 2016/2017 at 13 per cent. That ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also wish to thank the residents of Bukhayo Central Ward for approaching the Senate. I concur with my colleague, Sen. Musila, that this is evidence of failure in primary oversight. We set up county assemblies to interrogate and be the voice of the people on some of these basic matters. We need to make it our business as a Senate to upgrade the capacity of our county assemblies so that they are in a better position to deal with some of these issues so that the Senate is not flooded with many issues. Yesterday, in ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I rise to second this amendment Bill. There is a saying that a child who has washed his hands clean is fit to dine with elders, but that does not make him an elder. So, I do appreciate that Sen. Obure is like a father to me considering the great service he has rendered to this nation. I am only a child who has washed his hands clean. Few Acts of Parliament have attracted the kind of attention that the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) Act has attracted. If you recall, ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate you on the assumption of that Chair. You indicated that this is your third day on that Chair, but this is the first time that I am catching your eye. I am, therefore, proud to be speaking under your direction. I support this Bill, and I would like to make some very brief comments because the Senate Minority Leader and the other Senators who have spoken before me have done justice to this Bill. They have even brought perspectives that I had not seen previously. It is clear that outdoor advertising as ... view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues to wish everyone a happy new year. I have also noticed that there is a delegation from Kericho County. Chair, you know Kericho County does not have a Senator in the House. Since the county borders Homa Bay County, I undertake to represent their interests until they elect a young or old man to this House. I welcome the delegation from Kericho County.

• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. I bring to the attention of the House and particularly my colleagues who have spoken before about the membership of these committees. Standing Order No.176(4) requires that the whips shall be nominated to the Committee. So, it is not just those in Standing Order No.176(1) that form part of this Committee. However, I do not see anywhere in the Standing Orders that says that the Whips and their deputies shall be members of this Committee. By practice, it appears that as if we have included the Whips and their deputies. That is one ... view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will accept a point of information. view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you Leader of Minority. At least that has vindicated the RBC. Another role of this Committee is to monitor and oversee the implementation of Senate business and programmes. In my one year in this Senate, I still feel that there is a lot that needs to be done to see to it that Senate Business and programs are followed up and properly implemented.

• 16 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you exhorted us to reflect on our role as a Senate. Until today, I believe that our role will be the House that offers a sober second thought on matters of national importance. That underpins our aspirations to be considered the “upper” House in this nation. What we have demonstrated today is that just like the other House that we are so critical about; we are just another House that votes under the influence of ugali . There is nothing that differentiates us from the other people. We rely on the Auditor-General to give us reports ... view
• 25 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also support the Motion for Adjournment in honour of the Pope. It would have been more proper for us to adjourn and head to State House, but because this is a House of records, I wish to go on record that I supported this Motion. I consider the Pope to be a great man and as a nation we will learn from his humility. We have got a lot of differences as a nation. There are those of us who have the opinion that certain things could be done better, but I urge the entire ... view
