• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Hon. Senators, there being no other business on the Order Paper, the Senate stands adjourned until today, Wednesday, 26th July, 2023 at 2.30 p.m. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: The Senate rose at 12.54 p.m. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I comment on the performance of the Chairs, I will lose my minutes. So, let me spare that. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: I want to comment on the Statement by the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. I expected a comprehensive report on the closure of county assemblies, not just a line to tell us that they are working on it. This is because devolution can never work without the county assemblies. That is where actual business is transacted and they oversight the county executives. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: I will discuss with the Chair, so that he brings a comprehensive report on every county assembly. We also need to know whether they met the County Assemblies Forum (CAF) or individual county assembly leaderships, so that we know whether in this session, county assemblies will be working in order to protect devolution. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: The other comment is on the Statement by the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries where, through the Office of the Deputy President, we had a successful National Coffee Conference in Meru County. That is where the Committee that is looking at the Coffee Bill will get a lot of information on amendments that will give a lot of input on the Bill. I hope the Committee captured all the issues that were raised by the stakeholders, so that we get a rich Coffee Bill that will be prosecuted in this House. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, another one is the Tea Bill where we also had another conference in Kericho County on tea issues. I am happy that the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries was well coordinated at that time. They also participated in the Conference. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Finally, Vice Chairperson of Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, I do not know whether you have handled macadamia issues. Remember there was a regulation through the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry that farmers should sell their macadamia in shells without crushing or processing them. That is another issue that is awaited for by the farmers across the country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: If I may make a brief comment on the Chairs, I am happy that they have processed Bills. The performance on Bills is so good, but when it comes to the Statements, something needs to be done. I agree with you and we have discussed. They are saying that Cabinet Secretaries are not appearing as they should. We discussed about Statements and whether we should allow Principal Secretaries (PSs) to appear before the committees. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: We have more than 400 Statements that have not been responded to. My Statements which have not been responded to are now four. I thank those committees for their Statements. I also thank the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, because I have no issues on it--- view
