• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if this is not a cover up and, in fact, a bigger fraud, I do not know what it is. We are watching! I have asked; when the Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Housing and Urban Development closed the registry in Nairobi, why would the President of a country visit a closed registry twice? What was he looking for? Then thereafter, the Cabinet Secretary says that the President does not own any land in a most unsolicited manner. Nobody had asked her whether the President owns any land or not. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, then all of a sudden, you hear an order contrary to the Constitution to cancel all the title deeds. The new Constitution has brought new responsibility to leaders. Article 135 says that every decision by the President must be in writing, signed and sealed. Where is this order in relation to Article 135 to cancel title deeds? We are not protecting anybody who has illegally acquired land, but we must deal with everybody who has illegally acquired land. What is the role of the National Land Commission? The constitutional mandate lies with the National Land Commission. You ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, allow me to join Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Kagwe in commenting on this point. We ought to be making progress. The most critical issue for any government is to make sure that its people are secure and healthy. In these Level Five Hospitals, there is no evidence that their services and their cost thereof is going down. What is the rationale of reducing the allocation by almost 50 per cent? Even as we accept this paltry figure, we must make it clearly known that if you take, for example, Kakamega Provincial General Hospital, it is as ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Do you notice that the Chairman of the Committee who is the respondent in this Bill is hardly listening to any contributions? How is he even going to respond to what Members are saying which are very serious interventions? view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, as a matter of procedure, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., having moved the amendment and proposed the amendment, there is no provision for him to come and clarify anything. The only process we can allow is that; either, Eng. Muriuki Karue can move an amendment on the amendment which we can support. Sen. Khalwale is trying to come up with one. Sen. Mositet is also trying to come up with one and Sen. Sang is also trying to come up with one. You can give any of them an opportunity to move, then we amend the amendment instead ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, mine is beyond what Sen. Billow is saying. I want to beg Senators present that we stay until we finish the voting because we have a habit of simply finishing what we are interested in and walking away. We have this Bill to finish, then we have the next Bill to finish, then we have the Machakos issue again which will require a delegation vote. If we do not have enough delegations to vote, even that will come a cropper. So I beg Senators, please, do not leave until we finish the business of the day. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: On point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. My point of order relates to the Nairobi delegation. When we voted earlier Sen. Judith Sijeny was voting for Nairobi from here and then she walked out but Nairobi continued voting. We do not know if the Chair has been notified on the change of proxy. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, is that the way of creating proxies? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second and make two comments. First, you can see that the amount of money we are sending to the counties, in a national budget of Kshs1.8 trillion is not commensurate with the devolved functions we have given the counties. This is the more reason why we should find ways and means of sending more money to the counties. Secondly, this money is going to the counties. Of late, we have seen and heard serious cases of mismanagement of funds. We want to urge the Committee of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and the entire team ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not understand what we are fussing about. The Chairperson of my Committee knows that even in the Committee we noted that while the audited accounts being used as a benchmark were for 2009/2010 accounts. We are fully conscious that the revenues being shared are in relation to the Budget of this year. Even in the Committee we did agree that we have--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
