• 23 Jul 2014 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman of the Committee for attempting to answer my question. I will be seeking the following clarification in sequence. The third question I asked was very specific. The Minister was required to explain the legal basis upon which the Director of Survey has placed Konza City Boundaries within Machakos County. In the answer provided by the Cabinet Secretary, she has described and stated as follows: The Act is a basis for delimitation or description of boundary in wards of the districts and provinces derived from various consultations and continues to ... view

• 23 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was going to clarify the issue. Notwithstanding what the Chairperson of the Committee has said, I will propose out of experience - that is why I support what Sen. Mositet said – that other than the Minister in charge of lands, the Director of Survey and the Director of Physical Planning should be present at that meeting because they are the people responsible for drawing these maps and not the Cabinet Secretary. The Cabinet Secretary most likely when we go to that meeting, like Sen. Musila has said, will insist that this is the correct ... view
• 22 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Report by the Committee. I would like to thank the Senators who participated in this process for sticking to their guns so that the sharable revenue remained as it was passed by this House at Kshs226.66 billion. Additionally, we managed to get an additional allocation of Kshs1.87 billion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in seconding this Motion, part of the impression created at the National Assembly and which we must bring to the attention of the Senate is that the National Assembly thought wrongly that the Senate had taken a ... view
• 22 Jul 2014 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill although we have discussed it at length in the Senate Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget and have proposed some amendments to it. The amendments are informed by the fact that there are reports indicating that, in fact, the county governments are spending up to 70 per cent of their revenue on Recurrent Expenditure. Some counties-- for example, Nyeri County is spending 19 per cent on development. Therefore, we have suggested that we upscale the amendment from 30 per cent development expense to 40 per cent and not 60 ... view

• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I rise to support the proposed amendment to the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, in particular, to provide a formula where disadvantaged groups such as the youth, women and the disabled persons are given an opportunity to participate in procurement. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I support the amendment itself, I have serious concerns. The concerns are as follows. In my own county, women form more than 50 per cent of the population. The youth also form more than 50 per cent of the total population. When we say that ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill and its intended amendments. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just like Sen. Kajwang, allow me to begin with a story.
