• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it not there just for dressing purposes. It is there to mean something. I would like to join Sen. Karaba. For a county to have access to these 2 per cent fiscal responsibility, it must have shown fiscal responsibility. Secondly, all counties have potential. If a county shows – even if it does not have lot of agricultural resources and so on – that the revenue it is raising painfully from that county is raised and used properly, it should have access to that 2 per cent fiscal responsibility. That way, it will then help that ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I join you in welcoming our colleagues from Baringo County and wishing them the best in their county in implementing devolution, I thank you for expeditiously moving to ensure that the oversight initiative that we have and that our managers are expeditiously trained. However, I have one concern in the note dated 29th March 2016, to all the Senators. It reads as follows:- “Please, note that persons nominated for training shall cater for their own transport and accommodation.” I do not know about other Senators, but I do not know where they are going to get ... view

• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am obliged. I was not aware that there is a Kamukunji tomorrow. If that is so, I stand guided. I have an attachment to Baringo County because when I wedded, my best man was from Baringo. When I was the Minister for Medical Services, I visited Baringo several times and did something at Kabartonjo Hospital which I hope is still memorable. I look forward to visiting Baringo, not just in memory of my dear friend who was my best man, the late Mr. Elijah Arap Chesaina Bultut, but my other friends in Baringo County. view

• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not have a request. I was just responding to the fact that the Statement is required from the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since my Chairperson is not here, I am trying to help. Both the Chairperson and the Vice Chairperson are not here. Since, a very lengthy statement is required; it would be good if the Chairperson were here to handle it. It is reasonable to request that the statement be issued in two weeks’ time noting that we will go on recess tomorrow. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In proper parliamentary practice certain words should not be taken to have little meaning. There is something called hyperbole, where you make an extreme exaggeration to make a point. Then, there is something called histrionic hyperbole; when you become more extreme in making a very important point. The President in Israel was involved in what we call a histrionic hyperbole. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one would expect a President to visit a foreign land in the interest of his country. At the very least, he would not represent his country in bad light. I think the President is so frustrated about this issue of corruption that he had to go to a foreign land to make a very important point to Kenyans, in the form of a hyperbole. He went even further to say: “Not only are all my people corrupt, but the whole Republic is corrupt.”If you watched the President speak, he was more or less, near hysterical about ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to congratulate the Mediation Committee and the report given by our colleague, Sen. Kivuti. I would like to make my contribution very much in the line with what my sister, Sen. Adan, has spoken; that is, minerals and community land rights. According to our Constitution, The County Governments Act, the Intergovernmental Relations Act and so on, there are bodies presumed to be in existence. These are the county land management boards. I would say that almost across the nation, the county governments have been extremely slow in establishing the county land management boards. ... view
