• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is a piece of information, but in line what Sen. Orengo just said. I am sure my Chairman picked this up. There seems to be a contradiction between provisions in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and a section of the Constitution that Sen. Orengo just read out. In the PFM Act, it was provided that there will be only one treasury at the county level. That Act is usually cited by the authorities and it is the one that guides them to take the money of the assemblies to the treasury of the county, which ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine will be very brief and it is just information to the House. As Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said, I will make it broader; let us live with the fact that there is some kind of infantile disorder in that House which will be there for the life of this House. It is something that we have to put up with. However much we debate, it will not change that disorder. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Without debating the issue before you issue your communication, which will be going ahead of ourselves, let me say that when you go to some offices in Government especially where secretaries sit, you will see a sign on the boards which says: “Never argue with a fool, people will not know the difference.” I think that is a good warning to this House. Please, heed what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said and do not engage in an argument which you cannot win. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to make a Statement pursuant to Standing Order N0. 45(2) (a) on an issue of general tropical concern regarding a symposium in honour of an eminent Kenyan scholar, Prof. Mugo, as she retires from a distinguished service of 15years at Syracuse University in the United States of America (USA), which I shall be attending at the beginning of next month. Prof. Mugo served with distinction as a professor of literature particularly, in the area of orature. She was the pioneer of the study of orature; that is, oral literature in Africa. Having worked as colleagues ... view

• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Nasimama kwa hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Kwa nini Sen. Kisasa anasema kuwa sijui lugha ya Kiswahili ilhali nimekuwa katika siasa kwa miaka 20 sasa? view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. First, I would like to thank all the Senators who have contributed to the discussion of this Bill. They have been very constructive and supportive systematically. I am one of those people who never benefited from going to a harambee school. My education at the basic level was provided for basically by my late parents, the colonial and the Independent governments. The idea that education should be provided using public funds without harambee has existed in this country for very long. The second thing is that we are not tabling this Bill ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This Bill deals with public collection. A harambee is just one of the routes of public collection. One of the reasons we are targeting harambees is because there has been tremendous abuse of the spirit of public collection through volunteerism and mutual help. If anything, it has metamorphosed into many forms of public collection of funds which definitely does not embrace the spirit of volunteerism and mutual help. Therefore, we need to do something to save the spirit of public collection, mutual help and volunteerism in this country. This Bill hopes to do that ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and, pursuant to Standing Order No.54(3), request the Chair to defer putting the Question to another day so as to allow us as Senators to do something that will reflect the opinion of the House. view
