• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Yes, I know, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have known me not to violate Standing Order No.109. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I rise to second this Motion. I have about four points to make. First, Sen. Murkomen mentioned one of the terms that gave us tremendous problems in the Rules. The East African Treaty talks about accommodating all shades of opinion that gave us a lot of grey area. Therefore, in accommodating independent candidates, it was an attempt to have those shades of opinions represented by independent candidates accommodated in the Rules. However, those shades of opinion from independent candidates ... view
• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: .: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senate has been accused. Even this morning, while seated in the Mediation Committee, the Senators were accused of watching helplessly as governors pilfer public funds. My Chair has pointed out that there is a lady who withdrew over Kshs300 million and evidence is contained in these documents. That lady should be sanctioned. This is the same county where carcinogenic wheelbarrows were procured and another Kshs1.5 million was spent to investigate the purchase. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whatever they were, the point is that there must be a way that our decisions can be discussed. First, this is one petition that we have spent more than 60 days. Secondly, the petition has got outright pilferage of public funds. We should have provided a way to debate this. We can make Bungoma an example of what governors should not do. We can even go round our Standing Orders, because they are only standing orders for purposes of standing, but we must make sure that the Constitution is implemented. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this matter has raised serious concern particularly on leaders who have served in various capacities. We are aware that several leaders are being paid their pension but my query is, just like the previous query we have been raising, that it appears the decisions arising out of debates from the Senate do not find their way or are not implemented or there is no follow-up. While we seek for further clarification, it would be in the best interest of this House at some point, whether now or later, to find a method to amend our Standing ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to move the County Boundaries Bill (Senate Bill No. 16 of 2016). I will begin with the problem as it addresses the reason we require this Bill. The Constitution under Article 6 divides the territory of Kenya in to counties specified in the First Schedule which are 47 counties. It is now apparent from our research that we do not have any single legislation that defines the boundaries of counties. Article 188 of the Constitution--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move :- THAT, the County Boundaries Bill (Senate Bill No. 16 of 2016) be now read a Second Time. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir. It has been a while since I moved a Bill. Under the Constitution, Article 6(1) divides this country into 47 counties. After the promulgation of the Constitution we do not have any piece of legislation that defines what those counties and their boundaries are. In the event that a person or persons seeks to amend or alter a boundary; they shall follow the procedure stated under Article 188. I successfully moved a Motion for the Committee of Legal Affairs to draft legislation that would anchor the 47 counties into law. This is because for ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank Sen. M. Kajwang and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for elucidating their proposals in such a manner. I have no other option other than to agree. On Clause 7, I will propose and will make in the third reading--- view
