• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, unfortunately the response given is grossly inadequate on the questions and queries on the persons who are polluting the water which covers 190 kilometres in Makueni alone. On the questions of the persons who are helping the community called WARMA; I have had meetings with these associations in Makueni and they do not have a coin to run an office. The Committee had given an undertaking to this House that they would conduct an inquiry that would solve most of the questions we are asking in this report. Would I be in order, instead of asking ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the first question is on the persons who are polluting the water. From the answer, the Cabinet Secretary through the Chairman says that the persons who are remitting effluence into Athi River are not in Makueni. This answer does not specify where they are, who they are, what action has been taken and so on. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay the following Petition on the Table:- A petition made by the residents of Emali, Mulala Ward in Makueni County. The petition reads as follows:- We, the 43 undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya and residents of Emali, Mulala Ward in Makueni County draw the attention of the Senate to the following. (1) That there exists a historical feud as to the location of Emali Town along the historical boundary as per the treaty between the Maasai and Kambas in the early 1900s. (2) That, the Emali, Mulala residents through the ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we welcome the Petitions. The Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, led by the distinguished Senator for Mandera, has formed a sub Committee on Petitions. We tell all Kenyans that the petitions will be considered expeditiously and we will give everybody an opportunity to be heard. On the gender issue, I welcome the proceedings that I hear are going to come up tomorrow. I hope that they are legislative so that we can achieve the two-thirds gender rule in Articles 23 and 81 (b). I would propose that they consider that for every person in counties; if ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in fact, to help the Chairman, the direction was very clear; when Sen. Musila requested for the list, it was advanced to him and after the list was advanced to him, it was discovered in the interrogation of that list that there are non-existent or dead persons on that list who are purportedly receiving funds. The direction, therefore, was that the lists be provided in advance so that we can interrogate it. I say so with some element of authority because a certain gentleman in Kilome was given a card three years ago, when they went ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second this Bill. This is possibly one of the only Bills that make the Senate very popular. If this was Christmas my Chair will be Santa Claus because we are now dishing out the money that they have been anxiously waiting for. Otherwise, nobody wants to hear of the Senate when we are discussing matters of accountability. We are allocating revenue to counties against a backdrop of a lot of things which I want to highlight, so that as we ably support this Bill, we must tell the public that the bulk of the ... view
• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before we broke for lunch, I was saying that I witnessed a very sad episode when the Senate Majority Leader was given a dress down by His Excellency the President regarding the reduction of the funds to these bodies. This begs the question whether or not, whilst the President was saying that the Members of Parliament are quarreling while people need services, he understood the concept that the capital allocation to the Judiciary is supposed to serve Kenyans; that the allocation to Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) is supposed to ensure that Kenyans receive financial ... view

• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: .: I want to agree that I do not know how I missed that. It was Justice Njoki Ndung’u who in her view thought that the Senate did not have a role. I think she was misdirected because probably she did not read the Constitution well. The fact is that--- view
