• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Bill with déjà vu because I seconded this Bill after a lot of rancor and fights. I hope that this time round, this Bill will see the light of day. For purposes of record, I just want to bring to the attention of my colleagues the law which supports this Bill. Article 199 (1) and (2) of the Constitution reads as follows- “(1) County legislation does not come into effect unless published in the Gazette . The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank Sen. Mercy Chebeni for this. Last evening, I watched a Committee of the National Assembly doing an impromptu visit to Moi Girl’s, Nairobi. A lot of contradictory information as to what transpired is coming out. In fact, cases of students being abused by their own teachers are coming out. As we discuss this issue, we have a girl who has been abused by 21 men. One of them gave her tablets which were supposed to cure flu but they happened to be medicine for procuring an abortion. She ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to thank the Senators who have contributed to this Bill. I have heard the sentiments of Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki and others. They have raised very pertinent issues. Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri has raised the question of disposal of the medical equipment. Sen. Murkomen has asked about the water towers. Sen. M. Kajwang’ spoke about fisheries and agriculture. I would like to ask the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Sen. Ndwiga; the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health, Sen. (Dr.) Mbito; the Chairperson of the Standing ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) is a very important platform and I am happy that the Speaker was kind enough to send Sen. Shiyonga to the IPU platform. I was concerned at the beginning of this session because we were represented by nominated Sen. Mukite in the forum for women. I have acted as a Rapporteur from Kenya for the 162 Parliaments on gender parity issues and I can confirm that the input and quality of legislators you find at the IPU is beyond question. Madam Temporary Speaker, this question ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to make my brief comments about the Petition. I am a little concerned about this Petition and especially the question of 90,000 IDPs. From my own understanding, IDPs are people who were moved from their existing occupation or land that they used to occupy. If 90,000 people were moved from Kibra, there could have been a crisis and where did they go? Secondly, there is a possibility that although this Petition is restricted to Kibra, you are going to open a Pandora’s Box. This is because land was purchased in areas like Rongai in ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a mispresentation on my part. What I am simply saying is that the exposure of corruption and displacement might also expose the wounds that we want to heal. These are the wounds about tribal clashes, alienation and movement of people. That is something that we must be prepared to deal with. We cannot deal with the compensation and fail to deal with why people were moved from their ancestral homes. That is a concern. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following paper on the Table of the Senate, today, Wednesday, 6th June, 2018: - The report of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 14 of 2018). Thank you. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Nairobi is in a crisis. The building that collapsed is one floor. I am concerned because the Nairobi County Government has approved storied buildings of up to 15-16 floors in residential areas in Riara, Kileleshwa and we are not certain about their structural viability. We have to support Sen. Sakaja in the ad hoc Committee; that there are people who are treating this country as if it is an animal farm. As Sen. Sakaja said yesterday, if this had incident happened in Kileleshwa, Runda and other places of opulence and leafy suburbs, there ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to make a Statement under Standing Order 46 (2) of the Senate Standing Orders on the medical equipment received by Makueni County under the Medical Equipment Leasing Program (MELP). The MELP commenced three years ago or thereabouts, after a protracted and noisy debate between the national Government and the Council of Governors (CoG) on behalf of the 47 counties. I have attached a schedule of medical equipment received by Makueni County. While it is appreciated that our hospitals are not equipped, this scheme was a relief to Kenyans who had to travel ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only reason I requested you to allow me to speak is that I went for a function in Migori and the school administration allowed me to speak to the students. I was amazed. The rate of students going to the university at the time was 97 per cent although the principal at the time complained that because they became a national school it moved to 92 per cent; it was still amazing. After speaking to them, I am glad to say that one student by the name Justice Okumu then decided to become a lawyer ... view
