• 1 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health on the alleged misappropriation and loss of public funds at the Ministry of Health. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (a) Table the interim internal audit report on procurement and financial operations of the Ministry of Health for the Financial Year 2015/2016. (b) Table a list of all tender advertisements of the Financial Year 2015/2016 in the Ministry of Health under audit, the corresponding firms that bid and those that were finally awarded the tenders. (c) Table ... view
• 1 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Chairman say that he requires two weeks. Given that the CS has been reading rehearsed statements on national media houses, including one where he declared the Ministry innocent, the Committee, under Sen. (Dr.) Machage, invited the same CS and his officers and they snubbed him. I urge the Chair to direct that this answer be given this week, not on Thursday, given the importance and immense public interest in this matter. view
• 1 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he can proceed. view
• 1 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, after listening to that winding rigmarole from the Vice Chairperson of the Committee, the aggregate is that the Government of Kenya is doing nothing about what is going on in South Sudan. We asked very simple questions. When the situation was volatile, Uganda sent troops to protect its nationals and evacuate them, but Kenya did nothing. Instead, we are being told that commercial flights have resumed and Kenyans who are stranded in South Sudan should take flights back home. How many of those people; mechanics, tyre repairers and low level workers in South Sudan can afford air ... view
• 1 Nov 2016 in Senate: Absolutely, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue of street families in this country is something that has been on and off all through. I know the difficulty in which the Chairperson, who sits on our side, can find himself in because our philosophy, ideology and manifesto about dealing with street families is not the same as the other side that prides in looting public funds every day. Could the Chairperson tell us whether the national Government is ready to partner with county governments in provision of funds, facilities for settlement, housing, food and other amenities, including taking children to school, so ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Order Paper designates every issue to come at its time. This is Statement Time and the matter is extremely urgent and very serious. There would be absolutely no excuse for the distinguished Senator to say that somebody is waiting for the Statement to be signed and she will issue it when it comes. There is no guarantee that you will be sufficiently magnanimous to go back to Statements after you have called another Order. Yesterday, after we raised the concerns about the people at the gate, I learnt that on Saturday ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure you share the pain we are sharing about those people at the gate. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my fear was that you will refuse to grant that opportunity. Now that you have said you will, I am very grateful to you. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether you heard what the distinguished Vice Chair said. The Executive is accountable to Parliament. When an issue is raised in this House or any other House, it is demeaning for the Vice Chair of a committee to go and queue in the Office of a CS up to 5.30 p.m. when we have channels of communication through our officers sitting here. Has accountability to Parliament diminished? Be that as it may, yesterday, the distinguished Sen. Adan told this House that even as she was planning to bring a statement today, something was ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with you that there is no Statement to the extent that the Vice Chair has not read a Statement to the House. However, she has also made very categorical statements from where she sits. First, she has said that those people have homes. Secondly - it is erroneous in law - she has said that because they have rights, they cannot be removed from the gate. I do not know what law applies there. There is no law that says that you can become a nuisance, pose a security risk or endanger the lives of ... view
