• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: So, estoppel applies. It is fair that the objection as to the insufficiency is issued on the Committee so that next time we do not have the same. This is because now estoppel applies and Sen. Mbuvi has made the effort of surfacing today, irrespective of what he practices. Sen. Khaniri is famous for being a master of the Standing Orders. He must also comply. view
• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Riara Group of Schools – I congratulate you and Sen. Adan – is one of those schools that started in the 1980s in my neighbourhood. In fact, they refused to admit me at some point. However, if there is one example of why education is important when it is properly managed, then it is this school. We must congratulate the founder of Riara Group of Schools, Dr. Eddah Gachukia. This school is an example of schools in general that have gone all the way to university and you never hear of unrests; only good performance. I ... view
• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you notice Sen. Wamatangi walk through this side and back to the other side without bowing? Kindly enforce the Standing Orders of this Senate. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill from the outset. I would like to give my own reservations based on the experiences that I have had on basic education since my election. We call it basic education, but it is not very valuable to a majority of the students in both primary and secondary schools because of lack of facilities. We participate in the budget making process. Therefore, I know that somebody somewhere is not facilitating the secondary or basic education as it should be. There has been a clamour for education to be devolved. The ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know the issue of county boundaries is very close to my heart. The Petition by the people of Kirinyaga was actually determined by the Committee. However, the Committee was of the view that in view of the Bill that emanated from the Committee and recognizing that there was no mechanism for resolving county boundaries under the Constitution, we proposed that the Petition by hon. Karaba should await the Bill that was published. We are aware that this Bill is pending because of some internal issues between the House Business Committees. The direction should be on what ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the report was finalized. We, as a Committee, signed it and it was supposed to be tabled. However, I cannot tell what happened between the Committee of Legal Affairs and Human Rights and the tabling of the report before the Senate. Now it is out of our hands because I signed my portion. Sen. Sang is here, he did the same and signed his portion. Therefore, we finalized it a long time ago. We could find out tomorrow where it is stuck if you allow us. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, we will find out where it is stuck and tell you in a few minutes. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Yes, now that he is here. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for information sake, the question of issuance of titles will have nothing to do with the report. Therefore, Sen. Karaba is advised that if there is a particular complaint on the issuance of title deeds, that matter can be handled easily by the High Court and the Lands Division. The report will not handle that issue because it is beyond it. Issuance of titles was not one of the issues that we were considering, and it will not be answered tomorrow. It is fair that I say so. LEASING OF BUFFALO SPRINGS AND SHABA GAME RESERVES BY ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is difficult not to admire Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale because he is the only one who comes up with a petition from a county other than his, and does it with a straight face. However, Sen. Ntutu raised a similar issue in similar circumstances, but in the case of Narok, the matter went to court where there was no public participation. It was nullified. The unfortunate bit is that we never gave Sen. Ntutu’s findings and the Petition that he brought to the Senate with such voluminous documents, the prominence it deserved. As a result, we never ... view
