• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, can the Chair inform the House why at every issuance of identity cards station, there is a Criminal Investigation Department officer. What is the role of the CID in the issuance of identity cards? Could the Chairman assure this House that in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya, 2010, every adult Kenyan is entitled to an identification (ID) card as of right and should not be taken through the rigmaroles of senseless vetting? Sometimes people are told to bring in chiefs, or they demand titles deeds and ask for ID cards ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Lastly, Madam Temporary Speaker, could the Chairman assure this House that the policy of telling people to go back to their ancestral districts to get ID cards - something which is now unfolding in Nairobi - will stop forthwith? Anybody residing in Nairobi has a right to get an ID card in Nairobi. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as the Vice Chairperson comes to answer the questions, I have a follow-up to the issue raised by the distinguished Senator for West Pokot which I would like her to confirm. We better be attentive to this. Section 5(3) of the Elections Act that deals with registration of voters reads as follows:- “Any citizen of Kenya who has attained the age of eighteen years as evidenced by either a national identity card or a Kenyan passport and whose name is not in the register of voters shall be registered as a voter upon application, in the prescribed ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to inform the Senator for Siaya that we were in Malindi and on the polling day, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Mining was arrested by young people exercising the power of citizens arrest. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: In his car, they confiscated over a Kshs500,000 and shared it. Equally important is that the Director of Communications of ODM, one Mr. Phillip Etale, was not arrested and charged with bribing voters but for posting a social media message to the effect that Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was planning to rig elections at Eden Rock Hotel. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Sen. Nabwala! view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Orders No.178(3) and 179(1), the Senate approves the following Senators, nominated by the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) to be Members of the Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments:- 1. Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o 2. Sen. George Khaniri 3. Sen. Henry ole Ndiema 4. Sen. Mshenga Mvita Kisasa These four names have been nominated to help complete the constitution of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) which is so critical for the operation of this Senate in our oversight role in looking at ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not quite understand the trajectory that my distinguished colleague has taken. He accepted to second this Motion. We both sit in the Rules and Business Committee (RBC). This is a RBC Motion. Therefore, he cannot stand to second a Motion and then oppose it in the middle. That is not seconding a Motion. Is the distinguished Senator for Tharaka- Nithi in order, in seconding the Motion, to swing the pendulum and oppose the very Motion that he is seconding? Secondly, this is not a Motion that can be amended. In any case, you can only ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, before I get another seconder, what happens to the HANSARD where the Senate Majority Leader stood up and said that he begs to second the Motion? In seconding the Motion, one does not have to say anything. Once he has been invited to second a Motion and he says; “I beg to Second”, it is seconded. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: That is my first limb and the HANSARD will bear me out; that you said, “I beg to second” However, if the Senate Majority Leader has become wiser after the event and has retreated from seconding the Motion, I invite the distinguished Senator for West Pokot, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, to second the Motion. view
