• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Motion by my Vice Chairman. However, as I do so, I want to say that this is one of those regulations that have been an eye opener for us as the Senate, whereupon, we have discovered that the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act as drafted required that these regulations be first published in the Kenya Gazette, and thereafter, be brought for approval by the Senate and the National Assembly. We have information that in the case of the National Assembly, they have not complied with the timelines. Broadly, we are ... view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I still think that I will comply. The purpose of the financial regulations in respect of the national Government is to point out some key highlights in the financial regulations with regard to how the national Government operates its funding and the manner in which the national Government will deal with the splitting of finance and relate to county governments in respect of the function of finance. It is amazing that for the last two years, the national Government and also to some extent the county governments, have been operating without these regulations. These regulations ... view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second the Motion. Similarly, the methods of dealing with financial matters in counties is now put here in detail; how county government entities, County Executive Committees (CECs) or finance officers will be called upon to account for finances at counties is extrapolated in detail. In the regulations, we no longer have guess work. The two most important issues for me are; one, counties will be able to set up funds. They have been paying for bursaries and many other things without a fund but now they we will run a fund to educate children ... view
• 14 May 2015 in Senate: .: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a Member of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. The comments read by Sen. ole Ntutu appear to suggest that the witnesses who appeared before us either gave us wrong information, misled us or falsified documents. Whatever it is, that alludes there was a problem. I am not sure that comments will be good enough. I have looked at the Standing Orders and did not see a portion where a committee can review a decision that it has already made. That information ought to come to the Committee ... view
• 14 May 2015 in Senate: .: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Under Standing Order No.39, I kindly request that you go back to Order No.5 on Papers so that I lay a Report of the Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee on public hearings with regard to the Bill concerning Fair Administrative Action Bill which is a constitutional Bill with a timeline. We finalised the Report at 2.00 p.m and the Speaker authorized it for tabling when it comes from the secretariat. I beg you. view
• 14 May 2015 in Senate: .: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to apologise. The action was not deliberate. view
• 14 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the Fair Administrative Action Bill (National Assembly Bill The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 14 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Bill. This Bill has come yet again at the risk of sounding repetitious, at the right time. I say so, because this Senate has passed the Division of Revenue Bill and we are going into the third year. However, you must ask yourself whether the intention of having youth, women and persons with disability, as the Senate Majority Leader said, benefit from the special privilege that they have been given under Article 227(2)(a) of the Constitution has been complied with. Every time I visit various counties, the youth, women and persons ... view
• 14 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. From the outset, I would like to say that it is only a doctor of medicine that would think of something like this. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Machage for this Motion. At this instance, I want to disclose that my family and in particular my cousin, suffered from dementia for a long time. These people are treated as outcasts. Where I come from, when somebody suffers from dementia or some elements of lunacy, someone would say that there has been a spell cast on him. However, the doctors will tell ... view
• 13 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure Senators the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights has drafted the second draft of the intended legislation. It is very difficult not to admire Sen. Orengo when he says that we should think about ourselves first. Most important is to use this opportunity because the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights is doing this comprehensively. I am appealing to Senators to now turn into peace ambassadors because what Sen. Orengo said The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
