• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Fair Administrative Action Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 10 of 2015) be now read a Third Time. view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 176 of the Bill be amended by- (a) inserting the following new sub clauses immediately after sub clause (4)- (5) A procuring entity may lodge a complaint with the relevant professional body for the institution of disciplinary proceedings against a contractor who is a member of a professional body and who contravenes the provisions of this Act. (6) The penalties imposed by a professional body pursuant to a complaint lodged under subsection (5) shall apply in addition to any penalties that may be imposed under this Act.

• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, under Article 227 (c), the Constitution provides that sanctions against contractors that have not performed according to professionally regulated procedures and contractual agreements and legislations be punished. In the sanctions provided under Clause 176, there was no method whatsoever to discipline any contractor who has not complied with professional standards as proposed under the Constitution. Therefore, I have proposed that any procurement entity will be at liberty to report engineers, doctors and even road contractors to their respective professional bodies for disciplinary action. Secondly, the penalties provided by their professional bodies be in addition to any ... view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you also allowed the distinguished Senator for Makueni to ask a similar question. Similarly, the numbers of persons who appear to be receiving these cash transfers in Makueni are unknown. It is far much better that, at least in Kitui, they are known to be dead. However, in Makueni, they are unknown. Even the persons who are distributing these funds are unknown--- view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Perhaps when the Chairperson rises to respond, other than the fact that they mentioned that these cash transfers are done through the post office in a manner that is not understood by anybody or through banks, we would also like to know the persons who are said to be doing this in counties. This is because even in counties and constituencies, nobody seems to know who these officers are. Do they operate in darkness? view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Under the Transition to the Devolved Governments Act and the Inter-Governmental Relations Act, a function once transferred by this Senate cannot revert to the national Government. So, I would not worry too much about it and I will leave them to continue talking. The only danger about this function which is being clawed back is Article 187(2), which says a function must be followed with funds. From our experience in the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, it appears that this problem is not only in the National Assembly, it is also in the Commission ... view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to contribute but I have pressed the wrong button. view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is on now. view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for being graceful in victory. Very few Senators who have been ranked as high as he has would have complained. I am just concerned that we are being set up for a trap and I think we are falling for it. You know that the work that we are doing in the Senate cannot be achieved at the individual level. So, it is just impossible to have that sort of ranking on the work that you do at the Senate, unless they rank you when you are sitting in the ... view
