• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me put it to rest for anyone in doubt. Sen. Linturi has been my personal friend for many years and he ought to have said that when he was here. Our relationship did not start yesterday. When I went to speak there, I was not only speaking for an MP, but for a friend as well. That is what we shall do for any Member if there is anything. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I could just raise mine from here. Mine is close to what my colleagues have raised. The Chair referred us to page 88. That time he had told us that they had a very robust discussion on the point as to whether this Bill satisfies the requirement that it is through a popular initiative. He referred us to that paragraph 88 of the report and said that the seven characteristics that binds the two forms of citizen initiated referendums is that they occur against the wishes of either Government or Parliament. The Chair did not tell ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I understood what the Chair said earlier in response to what Sen. Wetangula had raised, when he tried to explain the limitations that the Committee faced when they were considering the legal latitude they could employ in dealing with a popular initiative. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: In that explanation by the Chair, he has said that in dealing with the unconstitutionalism, the remedy would be some people going to court. At what point did the Committee envisage that, that remedy would be found by going to court? view

Although he was newly elected, he is not a stranger to the minds and conscious of the people of this Republic for the heroic acts that he had earlier undertaken. Without ... view

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: will encourage and support him to be as successful as his father was and more successful to the extent of his own ambitions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, he did not take up a forced position; it was voluntary. He chose to follow the ambitions that his late father had followed. It must be a fire that burn in his belly. He has chosen to carry on that mantle. I encourage and welcome him to this House. I welcome him to this House. This House will be better-of and will use the good mind and energy that he has to make debate ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support passage of the Division of Revenue Bill this afternoon. So that we do not become repetitive, I want to go straight to the few issues that I may want to highlight. Madam Temporary Speaker, there has been a misconception largely because when the national Government gets its allocation- in this case, the Government is getting about Kshs1.7 trillion and county governments are getting about Kshs370 billion - it is assumed that the implementation and utilization of these funds should be parallel. You find that projects that are being implemented in the ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I hope my time has been held for that short time. My concern is that we have a symbiotic implementation whereby the national Government consults with county governments and vice versa especially because both levels hold their meetings and engagements at the summit.
