• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my position is that there is no reason whatsoever why we should suspend Committee work that you have directed to us. We are going to sit here and the people who do not come will not come. It would be the order of the day; same script, different players and it will not help. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is even worse is that there is a tradition; that has been set that towards the end of every term, this Motion is sneaked into the Order Paper and the person who is supposed to move it does ... view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last time this question was asked, I had sought my own separate question on the list of banks that fall under the category of under Kshs 5 billion. This is because we wanted to determine whether or not there was something ulterior about the proposal to increase the share capital; that has not been tabled. Secondly, the Chairperson has quoted the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Act, 2015, which to the best of my knowledge is still a Bill and not an Act of Parliament. Therefore, we would like to get those clarifications. However, more importantly, ... view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, although the Statement sought by Sen. Musila was specific on the persons who are aged, when the Cabinet Secretary, Rachel Omamo was here and the Principal Secretary, we agreed on a much wider range including what we call OVCs - (Orphaned and Vulnerable Children) - including a criteria which Senators are not aware of, where a county like Baringo ends up having more people than a county like Kitui. In this case, we had been informed--- view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in respect of percentage. In terms of the percentage, it appears that the number of persons who receive these awards in Baringo which is a smaller county than Kitui are much more. That is the criteria we wanted. There was even another issue; that these decisions were made in the National Assembly and we wanted those records. In my case, we raised the issue of those OVCs particularly in my county at a place called Emali where we have more street children than Nairobi. view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I did not want to speak after your ruling. I was whispering loudly that I think Sen. Obure had a point on some of the regulations. We have received many other proposals on other regulations in addition to the ones that are before the Senate for amendment and with reasons thereof.

• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I must say from the outset, as I second this Bill that I am a little disappointed that we have taken this long in bringing this Bill to fruition. It was first published in June 2014. Most of our county assemblies are facing problems as a result of not having clear guidelines on how their funding should be done. Yesterday, the County Assemblies Forum (CAF) through their Chairman, Dr. Noor, issued a press statement which was responded to by the Chairman of the Council of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to add my voice to this issue. Anybody traveling to north eastern through Kitui will need to be escorted from the point where you leave Kitui into north eastern. The Government is, therefore, aware that there is a security problem. What is the Government going to do – we are aware that most of these incidents appear to happen particularly when there is drought in north eastern and they cross over – so that we do not have this problem that has continued for eternity? People die, we have funerals and that is the end of ... view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to support the statement by my Chairman. If I am unkind to any person, it is because this matter has been given the wrong coverage. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I happened to chair one of the meetings regarding this issue. I was extremely disappointed by the CRA. There appears to be a common trend and consistency by the CRA. In fact, in our Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, we thought that, maybe, it is time we went the Indian way where a commission of this nature sits once every five years. The commission ... view
