• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that this Petition will end up the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, chaired by the Senator for Mandera County. As they look it this matter, it is important that the Committee causes the Auditor-General to look at the mismanagement of funds, especially, locally generated or collected revenue. In My County of Bungoma, the Governor and his government in their own projection indicated that they were going to collect Kshs1.470 billion. At the end of the year, they file a return that they have collected Kshs183 million when records show that they collected Kshs2 ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Petition is very important in the fight against corruption in the country. Since the misguided Ndegwa Commission findings of 1965 that allowed civil servant to dabble in business, this country has taken a completely wrong and dangerous turn in the management of public affairs. If you look at the country, all the filthy rich people in this country, or at least about 90 per cent, are people who have worked in Government. They have been sitting in Government offices and working for themselves. The same is now happening in county governments. Within no time, junior ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since we have not had sight of the Petition, it will be interesting to know if Mr. Gwada Ogot confesses to be a consumer of this substance. Any attempts to legalise the growth, transportation or consumption of cannabis sativa, commonly called bhang - in my area it is called Omusala . It is also called Injaka . It has all manner of names – is to take the country the wrong way. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you have had an opportunity to see a person who has abused this substance --- view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: I do not think people consume it. They abuse it. They look so dazed that a person would be looking at you, staring at you but cannot tell who you are and still demanding to be given some more substance to consume. I believe this will go to the Committee on Health. I want to encourage this Committee to come out very clearly in reemphasizing the provisions of the Psychotropic Substances Act that was passed in the last Parliament. It criminalizes and outlaws the growth, transportation and consumption of any such substances. Legalizing the consumption of bhang is akin to ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear Sen. Sijeny say that the distinguished Senator for Nyamira is an expert on cannabis sativa? Is he an expert as a consumer, a grower, a transporter or in any way associated with this illicit substance? view

• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No.117 tells us how Bills are introduced in this House; those who introduce them and the process. Standing Order No.145 tells us how Bills can be withdrawn from the Floor of this House. In those Standing Orders, the responsibility for introducing a Bill will lie with an individual Senator, a Chair of a Committee or the Majority or Minority Leader representing whichever side they are, depending on the sponsors of the Bill. Where a Bill is sponsored by a Committee through the Chairperson or by an individual Senator, then the responsibility of withdrawal of ... view
