• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know what you are standing to rule on. But I want to propose that, one, we do not turn this House into a rubberstamp. We have to work. I suggest that we give Members 30 minutes to read through the document and before 6.30 p.m., we move a Motion to extend our sitting until we are through with the business of the House. This will ensure that we do not just run through the business as if it has come here to be rubberstamped and sent on for ... view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I had to let Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale do the seconding because I just arrived this morning from India and had not gone through the Bill properly. Now that I have read through the Bill, if you look at page 6 of the Bill, we are actually, as a Senate, perpetuating a fraud on the counties. When Sen. Billow was moving the Bill, he said that the most important table was on page 6. If you look at page 6, the percentages and figures given do not add up. We have been arguing that we ... view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Please, inform me. view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had not even made my point. I had already seen both tables. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was saying that we must, as a Senate, continue fighting for and making the CRA appreciate that the difficulties of implementation and absorption of money at the counties notwithstanding, functions must be sufficiently The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he started by saying that it appears like I am misleading the House. How can it appear? It is either I am misleading the House or not, and I know that I am not. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a Bill that has come to this House from the National Assembly. It is very clear for the distinguished Senator for Nakuru. If you look at page 6, the Total Sharable Revenue is Kshs1,242,700,000,000--- view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: When these figures are corrected, the money will go to Nakuru, Baringo, Kajiado, Nyandarua and everywhere. Maybe Sen. Njoroge is the only one who does not represent a county. view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have to correct this. On a point of order earlier on I said that we should not rubberstamp these issues. Even if it means again gazetting tomorrow as a Sitting day, because of the constitutional deadline, so that we look at these figures properly, we have to. We are leaving a whopping 79 per cent of the sharable revenue with the national Government, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have to change this. I want to urge hon. Senators to go through this very carefully. For those, like my brother from Nakuru, I am not speaking even as the leader of this side; I am speaking as a distinguished Member of this House. We have a constitutional duty to ensure that there is proper, accurate and honest revenue division. That is why I have been disagreeing with the CRA about them trooping to the Office of the Deputy President to sit there and purport that they are sharing the revenue. If you may recall, ... view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: On point or order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. If you allow me to raise an issue about the Nairobi Delegation; the Senator for Nairobi is on record as saying that he has stepped aside – whatever that means – he said that he will not attend sessions, he is no longer a Deputy Whip and he will wait until whatever is going on is over. Can, therefore, the Nairobi Delegation have a proxy to vote for that Senator because I believe the distinguished Senator who is the Chief Whip for the Majority side is voting as a Nairobi proxy. If ... view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, even the Chair should take judicial notice of the happenings in the country. That is why he is not here. This is a special sitting and you have not seen him. He has said so very clearly, un- contradicted, that he has stepped aside. It may be a political gimmick but we take it for what it is. view
