• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to disclose that the team that was duly appointed by this Senate walked out on the mediation after we discovered that we were dealing with people who do not understand what we were talking about. Madam Temporary Speaker, we were treated to a condescending attitude. We were given nursery lectures about our mandate. Somebody had the audacity to purport that our mandate under the Division of Revenue and Mediation was to look at one small portion of the Schedule, which was county Revenue. They even purported that the Schedule that is in the Division of ... view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: check whether it is Kshs1.9 billion or Kshs3 trillion, that is not our work. You wait until we give you the bottom line. We left the meeting. We left them sitting in the meeting. In 2017, we left Mutava Musyimi seated in a room. The President signed an appropriation law, but the Division of Revenue was still published again. We were called for a special sitting because they recognized that you cannot do any appropriation under the Public Finance Management Act (PFM) or any changes in the estimates until we have a Division of Revenue. The Division of Revenue is ... view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senate must stand up so firmly that if we precipitate a crisis, let it be. This is because the President with the Deputy, sitting on the hill, must be informed that we are not walking around in Parliament. We were elected and the Constitution is there to protect us, and Kenyans will protect us. We told the National Assembly Majority Leader: “Go to the public and tell them that you have given us Kshs2 billion as a favour and see how that will end up.” We will stand with the law. The law is that since ... view

• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, nothing is out of order. Only that I appreciate the direction given by the Chairperson. The law is very clear that you cannot impose polices that will ideally affect national issues. The Chairperson is 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
• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: right but I thought the finance aspect of that proposal by Nandi County Assembly would concern the Senate because it would then border on Article 114. Let us wait for the report but there is a substantive issue as to whether this Senate can legislate on matters of taxes or, this is one of those opportunities we can draft a legislative proposal and agree with the National Assembly for them to commence a Bill and then we can deal with it later. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before the Chairperson of the Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation leaves, I would like to state that I am a victim of one of the people who approached you recently about the Kiboko oil spillage, and I came to the Chair. If I violated some rules, I must apologize. However, it was an emergency. The emergency has already been responded to. Therefore, the point raised by Sen. Wetangula is valid that some exemption should be made. Where a statement like that one has a comprehensive response, for purposes of consumption, the pipeline cost the country ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I had the opportunity to meet with the group from Sierra Leone this morning, led by the Majority Leader and the Vice President of the Women Caucus. On the discussion about gender in Sierra Leone, they are benchmarking with the best practices we have in Kenya. I laud them for the work that they are doing. I came across something that I want to quote for them. When I worked in the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) on gender parity, I came across a lot of things. I want to read this quote to the Vice President ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: “A man of quality should not fear women who seek equality.” Madam Temporary Speaker, the true answer in the question of gender parity is in the men and not the women. That is why I suggested, Vice President, that you should have invited the men of this Senate and the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) for that lunch. Sen. Sakaja and I should have been there to tell you the work we have done to ensure that the women of this country are given their true place in the map and the orbit of Kenya. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This matter was here last week, and we have discussed it severally. Sen. Pareno, Sen. Khaniri and I have raised it. The Chairperson of the Committee on Education was supposed to make an interim Statement about this issue. Perhaps you should have guided us. view
