• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Statement, it appears to me that Sen. Mwaruma should have proposed a Motion, which should have led to a resolution of the Senate to get the information he is seeking for. Generally, the projects being undertaken for this financial year and the ones the Government was borrowing for this financial year are included in the report that was tabled here before we voted. We had that opportunity to ask those questions then, which were not asked. Thank you. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to make some statements with regard to the Statement. I was just looking at our Standing Orders, and it appears that we overlooked the question of population and census. Therefore, it is not specific to any particular committee. It is a very serious omission, because we are doing division of revenue. From the first to the second and the proposed third formula, population has been given very high emphasis.

• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Just to add on to what Sen. Orengo is saying, we unfortunately have a culture of dishonesty in this country. That is the same dishonesty that led to the population census for parts of Kenya going into litigation, five years into the last census. I suspect it is the same thing that is going to happen even now. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in future – that is why it is good that some of my colleagues in the Committee on Finance and Budget are sitting here – we should adopt that framework that is being used in Pakistan and India, on how they deal with population. In the case of India, they have suspended the use of population for a period up to 2026, and they have opened only a small window. This is because the propensity of cheating is so high, that this will never be an accurate figure for purposes of ensuring that one plus one ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: For purposes of this Senate, there is need for a better way and a resolution of how we should guide this. Earlier on, Sen. Orengo or Sen. Olekina proposed that we should have formed a Committee in advance to deal with the Committee that was dealing with the census. Of course, let us forget about the question of the Huduma Namba . We sat in this room, chased away the media and it was a closed meeting. Therefore, we never quite handled this properly. That is the reason why you are going to hear statements. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: More importantly, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the President has issued an order that the current population census should be effected immediately. This House must make a resolution. I would propose that a Motion be moved here that a resolution for that document that was used by the census team to be tabled officially, and not just a Statement. A resolution of this Senate should come forth. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Statement. The word that came into my mind at the time Sen. Orengo was speaking was pussy-footing. When it comes to Uganda, we are prepared to give them a piece of land in Naivasha in an arrangement that was done by the national Government. However, when it comes to Migingo Island, the only thing we can do is pussy-footing. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I inquired from the desk about Article 5 of the Constitution, which we do not speak about a lot, but we should. It states:- “Kenya consists of the territory and territorial waters comprising Kenya on the effective date and any additional territory and territorial waters as defined by an Act of Parliament. The effective date is 27th August, 2010. We appear not to have an Act of Parliament. Sen. Wetangula and his distinguished ‘nephew,’ Sen. Sakaja, are quick on these things and they can quickly draft this and include Migingo Island as part of our territorial ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We have at least three Senators here who participated in the joint survey under Question No.2. If you agree with our proposal to have Plenary, would I be in order to suggest that the joint survey that is mentioned in Question No.2 by Sen. Wetangula should also be tabled, so that we can understand and question the Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade on why there was a departure and whether a Cabinet decision made by a previous Cabinet is binding on the Cabinet of President Uhuru Kenyatta? ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and congratulations again. The Chairperson of Legal Affairs and Human Rights is right that the law allows various frameworks for HELB to recover their loans.
