• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: But now, we have people in offices who are just there; men in suits doing nothing! view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the feelings and the situation of Mandera. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter. In fact, I would wish that you even allocated time for this Chamber to debate this important issue. The Constitution has been grossly violated. Article 229(4) says:- “Within six months after the end of each financial year, the Auditor-General shall audit and report, in respect of that financial year, on – the accounts of the national and county governments.” We are now entering the third year of devolution, we have sent billions of shillings to the counties and there has been no audit. Nobody knows whether this money has been utilized ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are faced by procedural difficulties. Ordinarily, when Statements are sought, they are sought from the Executive and the Chairs of Committees convey the requests and await the response from the Executive.The Speaker ruled that when those Statements come here, they must be signed by the Cabinet Secretaries themselves. Now, when this Statement was sought, the Committee embarked on a totally unprocedural conduct by deciding to visit the situ and holding meetings instead of letting the Ministry give them a response as the line Ministry incharge of this university. We are now told that this is ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Just one minute, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We would want to have the work of Committees made easy; but we also want the Chair to direct committees. It does not matter whether the Committee was acting in good faith or not; but procedure is procedure and when a Statement is requested for, the generosity of the Committee to bring us a Report instead of a Statement is unacceptable. Nobody is imputing mala fides on the Committee, but we are saying that they have done a good job badly; it is as simple as that. We would want the Chairperson to ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this issue is very critical. The university is closed. Innocent children are suffering while others in other universities are going on with their education. We cannot wait longer than a day. If the Chairman is ready, which I believe he is, let us have the statement. Previously he has done a good job and we have praised him here. That seems to have gone into his head and he has forgotten that he should do a good job. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I withdraw that. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I withdraw the words “it has gone into his head.” view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: He is my great friend. I have no problem tendering an apology to him. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I withdraw and apologise. We want the Chairman to appreciate, as we have correctly read in the Standing Orders that in trying to bring the statement, we also as a Senate expect a policy statement from the Executive on when the university will reopen and how they will tackle the problem. That cannot just be in the purview of the Committee. This has to come from the Executive and the line Ministry or the Cabinet Secretary who will help re-open the university. The issues they are talking about like dilapidated facilities among others are within the ... view
