• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Status Report on Digital Migration tells the House that there was a petition that was directed to my Committee on Information and Technology. I want to report to the House that this petition has been withdrawn by the petitioners. The Report, therefore, is to table that withdrawal and the proceedings that went on thereof. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did you notice that when you came in and bowed, it is only Members on this side that bowed? On that side, it is only Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale who bowed. Everybody else just ignored you. Is that in order? view
• 28 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to thank the House for the confidence that they have shown through the appointment of Sen. Elachi, Sen. Khalwale and I. Even though some people in the other House or this House will get annoyed, what we are trying to address here is who is going to be responsible for hospitals not running, emergencies in the counties or not being addressed and MCAs not being paid their salaries. We do not want to be held responsible for calamities happening and there is no money, for hospitals not having ... view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a Member of the Committee, I think that it is important for us to appreciate that we had very little time to deal with this because of other issues. The matter does not come to the Committee a year in advance. So, it is not possible for us to discuss it a year in advance. We can only discuss it at the time it is sent by the National Assembly to the Senate. I want to propose a way forward. view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: 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
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to propose a way forward, so that we do not dwell too much on whether or not to break. I propose that we take half-an-hour break after which everybody who wants to see the document will have seen and read it. view
• 9 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. In doing so, I would like to thank both the Chairman and the Seconder of the Bill for highlighting resilient and important features. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I would like to highlight one or two things. The first one has to do with the fact that as a Committee, we have fought substantially to see that the amount that is being discussed goes up. However, the enemies of devolution today are not this House or the National Assembly, but corruption at the county level. They are nepotism ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that the time does not allow us to say much. It is interesting that this attack has come just after the announcement that President Obama is coming to visit this country. I have no doubt in my mind that part of the reason for the timing of this attack is to show the rest of the world that Kenya is not a safe destination for anybody, let alone the American President. I am, therefore, convinced that our forces must take all the necessary measures to ensure that the culprits ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: I agree with those who have spoken before me that w must deal with those people in a very ruthless manner so that they will never repeat it. It is very clear that the current global judicial system cannot deal with the threat of terrorism globally. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, just arresting people and arraigning them in court is no longer a deterrent as far as terrorism is concerned. We must ask ourselves whether we can deal with a terrorist the same way we deal with a simple thief. Is the judicial system sufficient to deal with the threats that ... view
