• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the distinguished Senator that on this side of the House, each and every Member was given an opportunity to pick a Committee of choice and competence. Therefore, you are given your first choice without any trading or debate, then the rest you are given according to availability and the Curriculum Vitae that we hold so that people can be productive. I believe your side may have done the same thing. Secondly, being here is a learning curve so that when you get into a Committee that may not relate to what you have ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County has not been in the House. Members who have spoken to this Motion from both sides of the House have been of the view that we cannot pass a Motion to ask the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the TSC to audit themselves. We require a select committee of this House to do that. This is to ensure we achieve greater efficacy and bring sanity, order and equity in the distribution of teachers around the country. However, you will find in urban schools the student teacher ratio ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, this Motion is a very important. From the outset, the Mover informed the House that when he first drafted the Motion he wanted to create a select committee to audit the distribution of teachers around the country. However, he was informed that at the time, Parliament was cash strapped. We are in a new year and in a new Parliament. This House listened to new Members here like Dr. Milgo, Dr. Langat and the young lady from the Kenya African National Union (KANU) who had brilliant ideas. I am sure they will make a difference in the ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also send my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost lives in road accidents. One of the papers today says we lost 72 lives in 24 hours. In particular, the accident that occurred in Kamukuywa bridge in Bungoma, my county, where a family and close family friends from Vihiga County, Mahanga Village, coming from a very hearty visit to their daughter married in trans Nzoia, met instant death because of recklessness on our roads. From information available, a sugarcane ferrying truck had rolled on the road. ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know if the Chair has guided the House in terms of alternate or proxy votes in delegations. We have a precedent from the previous Speaker that each head of delegation must write to 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
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I second, may the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet be advised that traditions of this House are not according to me, the Senator for Bungoma County, but the practice of the House and that is what it is. This Motion does not require any serious debate. It is a list from the side that I am heading. I hope that as they take their duties in the Senate Business Committee, good sense will prevail upon our colleagues on the opposite side that embracing bipartisanship in doing our business will be more helpful than engaging in confrontational and ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I second the Motion. In doing so, I want to encourage those who have been given the privilege to serve on the Speaker’s Panel to realise at all times that when they sit on the Chair of the Speaker, they temporarily cease being Members of either side of the House and preside over the proceedings of the House without fear, favour or prejudice. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in choosing our two representatives, we have carefully examined their backgrounds and their professional standing. Sen. Nyamunga is a lawyer and is in her second term in Parliament, having served the ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened to the answer by the Senate Majority Leader. Could he clarify - and if he does not have the information now, he can bring it later – a tabulated list of recipients of these social safety net funds in each county broken down to each sub-county so that, as representatives of the people in the counties, we can be able to tell who are getting these monies? Second, this House has been treated before to answers on these social safety net funds and the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) resettlement funds. It turned ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the follow up, could the Senate Majority Leader also consider a policy shift? I can give you an example of Nzoia Sugar Company. In the old days when the Government decided to take 12,500 acres of land from the nucleus on Nzoia, it went to Trans Nzoia, purchased an equivalent parcel of land or thereabout and resettled families. The danger of cash compensations is that it has created the so-called Internally Displaced People (IDP’s) in some areas. The heads of families take money, abandon their families, go and squander the money, then come back to squat ... view
