• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the statement read by the Chair of Committee on Education. I want to start by congratulating all the students and all those who were involved in ensuring that we have made history in how our exams are conducted, the period and the manner exams are marked quickly. If you were listening to CS Dr. Matiang’i, you would wonder what we have been doing as a country in terms of managing exams, giving out the results and ensuring that Form One students go to school ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that The County Statistics Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2016) be now read a Second Time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since we passed the Constitution, this is the first time we are implementing the devolved system in our country. It is important that as we continue to execute the mandate of the Constitution in regard to county governments, we should make laws that empower devolution. This Bill will breathe life to Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution that sets out the functions of the county governments. One ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we know how we operate in coming up with a Bill. So, I am still thinking that I am engaging with the many others that we sat to deliberate on this matter and even at the level of public participation with the Committee. However, I am so guided. It is my Bill. I was at the point of how best the national and county governments will share this information and ensure there is consultation between the two levels of Government.

• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank my colleagues for their detailed contributions to this Bill. I agree with them that it is an important Bill for our counties. With regard to education, we should allocate bursary funds appropriately to ensure that the beneficiaries access the funds for all the four years in school. It should be on record how many students should access the education funds for the four years and those who need support for a limited time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with Sen. Omondi on issues to deal with people ... view
• 18 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sang is making a valid point on issues to do with corruption and how members of the public are employed in our counties. The terms “girlfriends” and “concubines” have been used continually to demean women who are employed on merit in some of our public offices. Is he in order to continue to perpetuate what we have been trying to fight against for a long time? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 18 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I am a Member and Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government. As my colleagues said earlier, this was an important process for our counties. We extensively looked at the proposals of the appeals that were tabled before our Committee. We found that many of them hold water and it was important for these functions to be transferred to our counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill by Sen. Elachi and congratulate her. This is a very important amendment. When you look at this Bill, one would quickly think that it is giving the NCIC too much power to look into organizations, groups and communities that are involved in peace-building. What the Bill really intends to do is that there is partnership and oversight from the NCIC, to ensure that the peace-building processes around our country are met.
