Since the position has not changed, then the person who sits in the Executive of IPU on behalf of the Kenyan Senate as a representative of our House and as appointed by the Speaker, Hon. Lusaka, should be the one to report back to IPU that Parliament has tabled the report and the action that we have taken. Otherwise it looks as if we have done something wrong as men. I am defending the men folk Senators here. It would have been very nice for the record, Sen. Halake, to say, “with the exception of the Senate of Kenya.” There ...

and proposal there was a specific provision that was proposed for specifically women. Men were supposed to be barred from contesting elections where it was found that they were meting violence against women.

In the study initiated by IPU, chances are that they have specific recommendation that will protect women particularly in the political space and not just Parliament. For the record, I had hoped that Sen. Halake would say that, ‘Luckily, ...

Madam Temporary Speaker this is a very disturbing issue. First, it points to a state of impropriety on Nairobi City County Government, if the statement is true. Secondly, under statutory deductions whether it is the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) or the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), any person who is found not to have remitted the statutory deductions appropriately is liable to criminal prosecution.

You are not allowed either by law or the Public Finance Management Act to misappropriate Government statutory deductions which are supposed to go into any other purpose. I urge and ask that the Governor of Nairobi City County, Hon. Kananu and the finance person as well as General Badi, they should be summoned as soon as possible by the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget to answer to these allegations of misappropriation of funds of Kshs560million.
