• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter is serious. The teachers that Sen. Pareno, Sen. Wambua and I, talked about have not been reinstated and have not been paid. My plea to the Committee is that this matter is urgent. Temporary measures ought to have been taken before they hold their meeting. These people do not have salaries. In the case of Kajiado, Sen. Pareno said yesterday that head teachers have been posted to the schools where teachers were interdicted. Can we wait for this crisis until 19th? I do not think so. view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Motion and reject the proposed amendments. You have been with me in some of the mediations. I do not think our colleagues understand or read these things. The purpose of amendment to the County Governments Act was born out of the lacuna in law that when a county is dissolved and the President is given a petition, once he makes the decision and appoints a commission, that commission---. Like the case of Makueni County was approved by the Senate. The Commission went to Makueni and after doing its work and submitting its ... view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: However, the National Assembly, in its wisdom, deleted that paragraph. Witchcraft is real because I have no other way of explaining it. How that was deleted is something that I do not understand because Mr. Nyaoga had almost 21 recommendations. There was only one recommendation about suspension. What happened to the other 20? They all disappeared with the Report and a lot of public resources were wasted. People of Makueni travelled to Wote and spent nine months wrangling about this issue just for it to end at the tap of a finger. It was done with and nobody knew what ... view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am always happy to hear from Sen. Wamatangi. view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the information is useful. The Senate Majority Leader said that we should expedite the mediation processes. You and I have sat in two mediation Committees. We have always had to educate our colleagues when we sit in those meetings. I do not think that this is going 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
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: to be short. People must be prepared for the long haul for we are not going to budge. We refuse. Therefore, I beg to support the Motion by rejecting these amendments. Once again, let us go to mediation and spend some time doing what we have been doing in mediation; educating our colleagues. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: .: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The rules of this House allow the Chairperson with your leave to highlight the salient issues in the Report. The issue about camel herding not only affect Taita-Taveta County. They affect my colleague and friend from Kitui County. The salient issues that they have identified are cross-cutting and can be addressed to the nation and not only Taita-Taveta County. There are many people who are finding it very difficult to deal with camel herders. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join you in welcoming the students; only that I think one of the names is not correct. You read Regina Gitau, and yet it is a man who stood up; somebody must have made a mistake. Allow me to welcome them. Yesterday, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had the privilege of sitting with some students. Maybe I am going to suggest, now that Kangaru Girls High School is here, that they are famous for many things. The Senate should champion a case where both universities and high schools can set up a Senate of 47 ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: they can have a mock Senate in the universities. We should do this so that we can start having this leadership out there in the public, because when I asked these students which county is Number 001, they remembered; but when I asked about County Number 047, they did not know. I, therefore, thought that there must be some reasons why they could identify some governors and Senators. I think one of the lessons is to have our students from all over the Republic setting up a Senate where there is a representative of every county. If we are going ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious issue. Recently, we watched an interview about people on the Kibwezi-Kitui Road complaining that they were just seeing dead bodies or bones of people along the road because their graves had been excavated by the road contractors doing the Kibwezi Road before compensation was done. In fact, the case that Sen. Pareno raised is even worse, because whereas they made an undertaking to do Corporate Social Responsibility like building boreholes; they left a lot of these things undone. Environmental restoration orders were not done either and nothing has been complied with. ... view
