• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the legal issues surrounding data protection together with the census is something that we must take up as the Senate so that it does not become an issue of Jubilee, NASA, handshake, tangatanga, kieleweke or whatever it is. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I propose that you suggest that we have a Committee of the Whole on this matter and at a later date, we start to talk about the census and take joint positions. This way, my good friend, the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet, will not have to defend himself before his people because we know what happened on ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, thank you. This is a very useful Statement by Sen. Wetangula. The framework of HELB does not contemplate criminal action or criminal liability in case of default. So, to that extent, the Cabinet Secretary misdirected herself in fact and law, to order the police to arrest defaulters. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the contradiction about this is that we are punishing children and not their parents. The people who qualify for HELB loans are not able. They are people who want to study, but they are unable to study because their parents do not have finances. Their parents are poor. These people have done well and have gone to school. Therefore, we cannot punish them that way. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: We know what happened to people who stole money from this country – the National Youth Service (NYS) I; NYS II and NYS III. The people who are stealing money from counties are walking around after they have paid cash bail. Some of them are even called for interviews. Criminals in this country are heroes. These children of ours need to be protected. When people were seeking for votes from Kenyans, we all know coffee, tea and sugar debts were waived. What are we talking about? view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: If we have allowed this Government to borrow on behalf of our grandchildren - Kshs.18,000 for every child who is born and yet to be born - why do we not protect our children who have gone to the universities? We must ensure, first of all, that we comply with the law that Sen. Sakaja proposed and have a bureau of the youth. Find out who is this person who became a doctor. Sen. Malalah is complaining about Cuban doctors who are being paid five times the salary of a Kenyan doctor. The correct position is that about 1,200 qualified ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the amendments. Communication was not done by the Chairperson that there is another extra bundle of document – about 600 pages long – in the Journals Office that explains how the Inter-Ministerial Committee is being put back into this recommendation. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen these recommendations, but I will only highlight one. The CS for the National Treasury and the CS for the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation must take responsibility for the gazette notice which led to the flooding of maize imports, leading to distortion of the local market and ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: seconded view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: 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
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I propose that for good order, if we do not have a replacement for you, you adjourn the business of the House to tomorrow, otherwise then, the confusion that will be created by you just sitting for two minutes is bad enough to mess the whole exercise. Therefore, as a matter of practice, it is absolutely wrong. You will look like a judge in her own course. So, in the absence of a replacement, we can adjourn the business of the House; there are only 19 or so minutes left. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you should rule the Senate Majority Leader out of order. Yesterday, there were points of order that led to a beautiful amendment, which was agreed on and the Speaker issued directions. In regards to the one of today, Sen. Wetangula mentioned yesterday that impressions are everything. However, the impression that will be created when the Mover is seated on the Chair will be the wrong impression. Therefore, we are trying to make sure that people do not cast stones at the Chair and the Committee. We want to make sure that it is correct. Therefore, he should ... view
