• 29 Jul 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 29 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you are a lawyer like me. You know we are actually paid before we even do the work. We request for deposits before we even see the client. That should be the ethos. While I support this Bill, and the reason why even politicians are coming up with all sorts of economics, up down, bottoms up, middle up, wide and apart, sideways and funny things. It is because of these things. You deny the young people money. You make sure they are not paid for little things. Some gentleman has been chasing me in Nairobi here. He ... view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Office of the County Printer Bill (2021). This Bill gives me a lot of nostalgia because I seconded this Bill when Sen. Sang was holding brief for Sen. Wako in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I hope that this time round, it will find itself in law. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: As I second it, allow me to say that during the public participation that we did on this Bill, we discovered many things. One, the Government Printer is not regulated in any form. There is no legal framework for the Government Printer; not a policy nor a Cabinet paper. It is just a printer yet these people handle all the printing, whether it is succession, lost Identification Cards (IDs), or deeds for purposes of people who want to change their names, et cetera. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, under Articles 185 and 199 of the Constitution that Sen. Were has quoted in the memorandum of objects, it was contemplated that the publication of the county legislation will be done at the national and county levels. This brings out another contradiction in the Constitution. They acknowledge that there will be a county printer. However, when you go to the definitions at the back of the Constitution, you see that the gazette is referred to as the Kenya Gazette, an obvious contradiction. However, for purposes of understanding the law, this primary legislation under Articles 185 and 189 ... view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have been a governor and I am told that you might be a governor again. I might also be a governor. It is painful for somebody to come from Garissa or Marsabit to get a budget printed here. It is painful, expensive and wasteful for counties in a devolved system to rely on printer in Nairobi. Why can Lamu not have its own printer to print their succession clauses for courts? Mr. Speaker, Sir, the courts have devolved. The High Court has devolved. There is a High Court in almost every other county and it is ... view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we had also suggested that in the absence of this agreement you can have the Kenya Gazette, Makueni Edition, Bungoma Edition, Laikipia Edition, and so on, and so forth. They also refused that. The solution is here. Counties have had problems. You will recall that in the last Senate when Gov. Kibwana had problems with view

• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: his county assembly, part of it was the gazettement of the budget. There is no reason why counties should wait for 14 to 21 days for their budgets to be published. True devolution is to devolve this. It is possible that in creating this structure in Garissa, Sen. Abdul M. Haji, first of all, he will hire people, create jobs, and make it easier and faster for them to get their things done. The only thing that gets done very quickly here is the impeachment of governors. For some very strange reason, they get published before the sun rises. Mr. ... view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: You see, No.823. What are we going to do with all these people that are being admitted left right and centre? These are the sort of jobs that we can create for them. We can then get counties to publish their Bills and laws very quickly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I suggested this some time back because in the last Senate, the County of Taita Taveta was in the middle of discussing a Bill called the Castration Bill. It was a very controversial Bill to deal with rapists at the time. view
