  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: As we set out this office, it must enjoy some degree of autonomy and independence. A Government Printer printing Kenya Gazette Siaya Edition is not in the clutches of the governor, speaker or any office. This is because when prints are send, they carry heavy messages that must be done. Sen. Were has said that once it is sent, they must print within seven days. However, currently the Government printer decides what to print and what not to. You can queue forever. view
  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: For example, Gov. Waititu was impeached at 9.00 p.m and the print was out by midnight within three hours. It was super-efficient. I am sure that the efficiency was caused by some force somewhere. This is because there are other prints that are queuing at the Government Printer. However, I am sure that the force is not the office of the Speaker of the Senate. view
  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: I have no doubt whatsoever that the Speaker of the Senate had no vested interests in the impeachment of that governor or any governor for that matter. However, forces elsewhere worked super efficiently to ensure that nobody could injunct the gazettement of the impeachment so that when a lawyer turns up in court and say that they want to get an injuncted, they are told they cannot injunct what has already happened and they start to look for a different avenue to deal with the matter. view
  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to fast-track this Bill. I believe that when it goes to the National Assembly, it will not suffer the fate many of our Bills suffer by gathering dust in view
  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: the office of the Leader of Government Business so that we finish it quickly, operationalize it and enable counties to publish their Bills and have portals where anybody can access. view
  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: If you look at Article 96 of the Constitution, this House serves as a defender of counties. For example, Sen. Orengo is not here to defend Siaya County. He defends all the counties of Kenya. So, we want those publications in the county to also have some depository within the Senate documentation. Anybody who wants to see the Kenya Gazette Mombasa edition, simply asks one of our clerks and gets it within a minute and make reference in whichever way he desires. view
  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: So, Sen. Were, if you can capture all those, this will be a good functional Bill that will make it easier, efficient and will finally liberate counties from the draconian behaviour of the current office of the Government printer that does what they want depending on who is causing them to do it. view
  • 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support. view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
