• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: .: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, you issued clear directions to the Chairperson of the Committee on Education. Is it in order for Sen. Haji, Senator for County No.007 to suggest that he is a messenger on behalf of somebody? I propose that you rule him out of order following your determination yesterday on what Sen. Karaba similarly said. view

• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senate Majority Leader has made a very passionate statement about pending business particular Bills that have passed through this Senate and have not been considered by the National The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Machage has a point which is that Bills from the National Assembly that concern the Senate but have not come to the Senate have gone for assent directly and those laws have come into force. Similarly, what prevents the Senate from using a similar process by sending Bills to His Excellency the President for assent and, therefore, become law because this has happened before? Senate Majority Leader, we are trying to help you precipitate something that is useful. However, Sen. (Dr.) Machage has raised a very valid point. view
• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this amendment. In the first instance, this amendment is unconstitutional. On the outset, I want to say that even the memorandum and objects of reasons by the author of this Bill is in itself unconstitutional. This is because it suggests that; “the enactment of this Bill shall not occasional additional expenditure and no referendum is required.” I am going to tackle that in a short while.

• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought – I could be wrong and I stand corrected if I am – that when a question is sought, other than the question itself, the Committee is supposed to send the HANSARD with the questions to the Ministry. I also thought – I stand corrected – that once the answer is brought, the Committee is required to interrogate the answers vis-à-vis the questions asked. So, you cannot look as if you have been left hanging on nothing, Chairperson. You are making yourself look powerful yet we have granted you a position to be powerful. ... view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support this Bill. I have been concerned that the only transition we provided for under the County Governments Act was the transition from the former municipal councils and urban councils to the new county governments but there is no similar provision of transition between the current governors and incoming governors. There is a wrong assumption that the current governors are the ones who will serve in the office as if they have been elected for a term of 10 years. Therefore, I laud the ... view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If you allow me, under Standing Order No. 54 (3), I seek your leave that you defer the putting of the question to tomorrow, so that we can finalise with this Bill. view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.7 of 2016) be now read a Second Time. In this Bill, we are amending the County Governments Act to provide a procedure for the disposal of a report of the Commission of Inquiry established under Article 192 (2) of the Constitution. It also provides for a process of the termination of suspension of a county government under Article 192 (4) of the Constitution. The prevailing position has a legal lacuna. To explain, Makueni County had the fortunate or unfortunate experience The electronic ... view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to reply. I would like to thank the Senators who have ably contributed to this Bill. You have seen that all of them are agreeing on the lacuna we are trying to cure. I agree with Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki to the extent that most of the time when we generate these Bills, including his own Bill on impeachment, there is a gap that we have seen as a result of our work here on impeachments as in the case of County Government of Makueni. Therefore, I pray that this is one of those Bills ... view
