• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thirdly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have also been carrying out consultative forums in various counties. We have visited Kisumu, Kakamega, Machakos, Kajiado, Uasin Gishu and Nakuru counties. Our intention was to continue with other counties to be representative of the Kenyan nation. But time, space and commitment of committee members to other committees has made it rather difficult. The other constraints are due The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: to the fact that sometimes, there are no meeting rooms in the Senate facilities, or the time required to visit as many counties as possible with a majority of members present is not available. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Fourthly, we still feel strongly that in that regard, we should visit at least some counties in the coast region and further in the eastern region especially the Meru, Isiolo and Northern Kenya areas. Visits to northern Kenya have in the recent past been constrained on security grounds. We hope that the situation improves and that, that part of the Republic should not be isolated from discussions on public policy issues and law making by the Senate. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, our consultants have continued their work. We have since contacted them every three months. They keep on working with us. We hope that by the time we finish, the two documents they are drafting will be ready. The Committee also intends to benchmark the issue of philanthropy in our Republic with best practices elsewhere. I figure out that the Committee is conscious of the fact that this is something on which resources can be spent and have to be spent. Therefore, the choice of best practices must not only be cost effective but contributing to the ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is sometimes difficult to schedule visits to counties because of our multiple loyalties to various committees. We shall work with other committees who are equally doing field visits so that we can mainly collaborate in coordinating our affairs to the maximum benefit of our members. Senators have really been constrained in doing these visits. They are very useful because when you visit these counties and meet governors and county representatives, it is not just the committee work that becomes important but the whole interaction between the Senate and our counties. This has been useful. Time ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: I would like to request one member of my Committee, Sen. Daisy, who is sitting over there, to second the Motion. I am quite sure she is equipped and well versed in the work of this Committee and capable of seconding this Motion. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: I am afraid, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that lawyers are making this thing more complicated than it is. I mean, it is common sense that the name was not read out three times. It is also known that what you are calling are not individuals, but counties. There are 47 counties in the Republic of Kenya. Any time there is a division, counties are called by their name, whether something has happened to the individual on the seat or not; you do not know where the individual would be, but you call counties. I think it is simple knowledge that ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion. I will be very brief since Sen. Kagwe is anxious to contribute.

• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, like my colleague, Sen. Billow Kerrow, I stand to seek a Statement from the Chairman in charge of National Security and Foreign Relations regarding incidents of insecurity along the Nandi/Kisumu County border in the area where we find Songo, Chemelil and Kopere residential and farming places. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, over the last couple of months, there have been skirmishes in this border area where heads of cattle have been raided; sometimes both ways, and lives have been lost. At least, four people were killed not too long ago and no investigation has been done to ... view
