• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will go a little further and point out that the discharge of the responsibility of the Clerk under Standing Order No.220 (3) is that when a petitioner who is a lay person and an ordinary citizen brings a petition here, the Office of the Clerk has a duty to advise the intended petitioner; including telling Mr. Gesicho that he has a good petition but he should not The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, sorry. I do not want us to look like cry babies. We are a House that is looked down upon and disregarded. We must appreciate this as a House. We did appreciate this long time ago. We formed a Committee, looked at the Constitution and drafted a Bill to strengthen this House, so that everything is in black and white as to what our role and functions vis-à-vis national issues including budget making, should be. My opinion would be – I agree with my Chairman in the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget – that you cannot ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was skeptical when this Bill was first mooted. As time went by, I have been convinced that it is important to have some hygiene and order in public conduct of leaders, how they are addressed and how the pecking order should be. Madam Temporary Speaker, a lot of obscenities have been displayed all over with people over-playing themselves and behaving like they have descended on earth from Mars. That makes things look very convoluted. I have always said that we have a lot of respect for our governors but some of them behave in ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Yes, and I am queuing to speak to it and the Bungoma one which was deferred to tomorrow. view

• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. This is a self serving Bill for the Jubilee Government, as you, probably, know. It is brought singularly for purposes of giving way to the merger of the Jubilee parties and allaying fears of Members that they will lose their seats because of the merger. I have no problem with that; it is entirely up to you to do what you want to do. This Bill has gone through the National Assembly and it has an obligation to come here. The Bill makes amendments ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I withdraw the use of the word “coerce” and replace with “:cajole”. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: It is with a light touch, but I know that the distinguished Senator for Meru County and the other man from Western Kenya, called hon. Noah Wekesa, have been crisscrossing the country going to Western to pay a few idlers to go attend their meetings to show that there is presence of Jubilee Coalition in Western Kenya. I assure them that there is no presence of Jubilee and there will none in the foreseeable future. One of the amendments in this Bill is to obligate political parties to hold meetings. That is unreasonable. While we encourage political parties to be ... view
• 2 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to ride on that question by the distinguished Senator for West Pokot although some of the issues he is asking are in the law. The Chairperson should also inform the House where the Equalization Fund for the first, second and third year is. Is this Fund administered after allocation by the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) through Parliament, particularly this House, or is it a discretionary fund to be dished out benevolently by the Executive? They say, “I have an announcement that the Equalization Fund is available to do projects here and there.” I do ... view
