• 4 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, cognizant that Sen. Harold Kipchumba, a former Senator in the Parliament of Kenya has been instrumental in engaging public support for mass immunization campaign aimed at eradicating and eliminating diseases such as Polio and tetanus as well as the introduction of new vaccines into the Kenya Expanded Programme of Immunization services (EPI); AWARE, that Sen. Kipchumba has, through dialogue and media appeal, persuaded communities and groups that were, by religious and cultural beliefs or practices, initially opposed to Polio and other EPI vaccines immunization, to embrace the ... view
• 4 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Chair of the Committee was giving her answer, she said that the roads were to be done under the Annuity Programme. I do not think that this particular road was under that programme. I know that there are several roads, including mine - the Masemo-Kombewa Road, which has been in the works since 1974 - which were supposed to be done under the Annuity Programme. No single road in this Republic has been done under the Annuity Programme. Could the Chair tell us whether this Annuity Programme is a myth or, indeed, there is ... view
• 4 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope the House will listen to me on this matter. I share Sen. Keter’s appeal about holding the Special Sitting on Friday even if it means sitting up to midnight. The House risks not having a quorum on Saturday, given the fact that Members are committed to very weighty issues in their counties and elsewhere. If it is the question of the Speaker being engaged elsewhere, there are enough Senators to sit on that Chair who are both lawyers and non-lawyers but are properly acquainted with the procedure in the House on the matter of ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I concur with my colleague but about the elderly, I dispute, and the sickly, I totally reject view
• 28 Oct 2015 in Senate: We had been standing for quite some time. We consulted and agreed that you were so absorbed in reading the communication that it would be unfair for us to wait for you until you reach a point where you could pause and let us in. Discretionally, we begged you without speaking to let us in. I apologise for contravening the Standing Orders. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and underscore, as my colleagues have said, that it follows in the tradition of this House where when such matters have come, we have rallied together in defence of the interests of the counties to debate such a Motion, having formed a very able Committee of 11 senators. As the Chairperson of the inquiry into Kenya Airways, I will lose two of my most capable Members at a time when we most need them. However, I think they are being outsourced to a cause that is really worth it; that is, ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and thank my friend Sen. Haji, with whom I get into problems every now and again, for bringing such a wonderful Bill. I have always said in this House that we are here to ensure that proper laws are made in line with the Constitution. The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution assigns a lot of functions and responsibilities to both the national Government and the county governments. I must congratulate Sen. Haji and his team recognizing that under Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule, the issue of disaster management is ... view
• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was waiting to speak on the next Order; on the Bill, not now. view
• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Bill; the Office of the County Attorney Bill, 2014, brought to this House by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. This Bill is extremely important as, indeed, my dear friend, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., has been saying. It will not only serve to reduce the temptation by county governments and assemblies to outsource legal work to private practitioners who bleed counties of substantial resources, it will also domesticate legal work within the county executive and county assemblies, to such an extent that there will be a depository of legal practice ... view
• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, may I appeal to you to protect me from Senators who have turned this House into a market place. view
