Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these are the exceptions we should allow for people to be recognized and to be offered welfare. However, other than that, we should provide, as Sen. Ongoro has stated, an opportunity for them to go back to school because that would make them understand that starting a family before getting to the age of 18 or 20 should not be condoned in this Republic.

Madam Temporary Speaker, last week on the request of the Senate Minority Leader we stood down the First Reading of the County Boundaries Bill, so that the schedule on two counties, that is, Siaya and Bungoma, which had been inadvertently omitted by the Office of the Government Printer, can be included. Madam Temporary Speaker, my only concern is that by approving this Motion, the Speaker’s Office might cause a conflict to the public; that we are proposing a Bill which provides the mechanisms of how county boundaries will be done. However, at the same time, we are asking the Office ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to help the House. Last week, we discussed this matter extensively. We have sent four letters to the Cabinet Secretary, but he has not responded. We have asked the Clerk to issue a summons to the Cabinet Secretary and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) next week in order for us to deal with issue once and for all.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to move the Bill for the Petition to County Assemblies (Procedure) Bill 2014 (Senate Bill No. 35 of 2014). I want to express in a usual manner my disappointment that we have taken too long debating this straight forward Bill and the Petition to County Assemblies. Without wasting time, the procedure for Petitioning the Senate under Article 119 is replicated in the Constitution under Article 37. For the avoidance of doubt and record, I would read into the record that every person has a right peacefully and unarmed to assemble, demonstrate, picket and ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senators who have contributed to this Bill; Sen. Sang, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. G.G. Kariuki, Sen. Hassan, Sen. Ndiema, Sen. M. Kajwang, Sen. Murkomen, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, Sen. Abdirahman, among others. There is a general consensus that there has been a problem, this is a pioneer Bill of the Senate and there is need for the watchman to be watched as stated by Sen. Hassan under Article 185 and Article 186. I would like to respond to some of the concerns particularly of Sen. (Dr.) Zani and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on language and ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I must declare my interest; that I have represented both Governor Mutua and his deputy successfully in their election petition. Therefore, while I speak about this impeachment, I will stick to the law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am greatly appalled by the references given to the word nguu because my late father, in doing conservancy, left over 300 of them in Machakos.
