• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, aware that the Government of Kenya has a 29.8% shareholding in Kenya Airways Limited thereby being the largest single shareholder in the company; COGNIZANT of the fact that Kenya Airways Limited, the National Flag carrier, has been experiencing tremendous delays and cancellation of flights; AWARE that each delay and/or cancellation has led to grave losses to the airline thereby worsening the debt burden of the corporation; REALIZING that the airline is now in debt to the tune of Kshs18 billion; FURTHER AWARE that the current business plan of the airline does ... view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Reproductive Health care Bill of 2014 that has been shepherded through this House by Sen. Sijeny requires our total support. This support is important in so far as this Bill, as I have already said in this House, meets one of the obligations of Members of this House to translate the Constitution into Bills or laws that can be implemented by Government. The Constitution says that life begins at conception. I remember when we were debating some of these basic rights, especially the right to life, the issue was very important and many people felt ... view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I will be very brief. I just want to thank my colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. who is a Member of our Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. I assure the House that being the Chairman of the sub-committee on Petitions; we see them as something that is enshrined in the Constitution. It is a right of any citizen in the Republic of Kenya to petition either House - the Senate or the National Assembly - on any issue of concern to that citizen. Therefore, the Senate Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, will act ... view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is an extremely important Motion that Sen. Dullo has brought before us. Listening to my colleagues; Sen. Mutula Kilonzo jnr. and Sen. Lesuuda, they continue to underline the importance. One, I think that it is not correct to say that matters of wildlife and environmental control are entirely in the hands of the national Government. This is because, if you look at the division of functions, county governments, in Part II, Section 6, are allocated the function of animal control and welfare including licensing of dogs and facilities for the accommodation, care and burial ... view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. Rather than the mover reading verbatim what is in the Order Paper, he could simply say that: “I propose that Clause so and so be amended as contained in the Order Paper” and continue to explain why that amendment is there. Otherwise, I see the amendments are very long. We are going to spend more time listening to what we can read rather than listening to the reasons why the amendments are being proposed. view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Murungi for the Statement he has requested about the land boards. As far as I am concerned, I know that land boards are to be established by the county governments under the guidance of the National Land Commission. view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just seeking clarification on Sen. Murungi’s Statement, because he asked whether the Government has disbanded the land boards in Meru whereas, constitutionally, the land boards are to be established in the county governments. I would like that when that Statement is being given, for the Committee on Land and Natural Resources to tell us why the land board in Kisumu County has not been established. view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join my friend and colleague, Sen. Kagwe in bringing to the attention of this House this very important event in Nyeri of the beatification of Sister Nyaatha. For those of you who do not know much about beatification, it comes from St. Mathew, the eight beatitudes of Jesus Christ. One of them being “blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God”. Sister Nyaatha died of bubonic plague while serving the poor in a country very far away from her motherland. For over half a century, the Catholic Church has been ... view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. Hassan for bringing this issue before the House. When I teach students, I usually tell them something that Karl Marx said at one point; that if appearances coincided with reality, science would be superfluous. The appearance from that House that the health system is not doing well under the county governments cannot be supported by a scientific proof because the data that we have, if you read the writings of economist, David Ndii, is that it is in the health sector The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Finally, the point I was making in conclusion and which I did not because they were shouting. view
