  • 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it would be helpful if the Chairperson told us who has given him the information. It could be the same people threatening Mr. Muchere. It was widely covered in the electronic and print media that the internal auditor at the Ministry of Health who exposed the fraud that has now gone viral in the country had reported threats to his life. 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
  • 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed the question came from Sen. Bule. However, in several riders, we asked the Chairperson to give the Senate the entire profile of the famine situation and food shortage in the country. In so doing, news have come forth that, in fact, what is lacking in this country is not food. What is lacking is proper planning and movement of food from areas where there is food to areas where there is no food; that is, in Nandi, Trans-Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, Bungoma, Kakamega--- view
  • 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, as the distinguished Chairman ended, those Kenyans who were camping at the Gate of Parliament are not there anymore. Could he tell the House where they are because I heard on radio one lady protesting that they were bundled into vehicles and taken to Nakuru? That is not the issue. The issue is if they were Kenyan refugees in Uganda, were they refugees who went to Uganda as a consequence of the PEV of 2008? If they were, then the areas the Chairman has enumerated as being places where they came from are suspect because we ... view
  • 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I noticed that the distinguished Chairperson concentrated on what was asked by Sen. Sang and very deliberately avoided to answer to any of the rider questions. For the risk of repetition, I asked the Chairperson --- view
  • 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Exactly. At least he made some weak attempt to respond to what Sen. Sang asked. I asked the Chairperson that while the discretion of the appointment lies with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) including rejecting all the proposals as he has rightly said, what was the Government doing against two governors from the central rift of Uasin Gishu and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties, who are pursuing a reckless ethnic agenda by raiding the university and attempting to evict Prof. Laban Ayiro? Remember Prof. Ayiro did not even apply but had been requested by the State to be an acting Vice Chancellor pending the ... view
  • 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
  • 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Chairperson to give an impression that he is a conveyor belt who just comes here to parrot what has been written elsewhere when he was here when all the issues were raised starting with Sen. Sang and close to five or six Members, including Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale who has informed me that he is away in Kakamega spending time with his children who are candidates? Is he in order to tell us that this is the response that he has when he has, in fact, taken ... view
  • 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Maseno University was closed yesterday. view
  • 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: A gift for what? view
  • 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. One of the cardinal principles of constitutionalism that we have is the control and prevention of arbitrary use of power and excesses. That is why we have checks and balances. Under our Constitution, there is a provision to suspend county governments. The drafters of the Constitution were conscious of the fact that the President can be vindictive and suspend a county government either because he dislikes a governor, because he is not from his party or does not support his policies. The electronic version of the ... view
