• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we need the programme for the sittings outside Nairobi to ensure continuity so that it is not just the North Rift that will benefit from all the good things the Senators have said as a result of moving our sittings to the counties. 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
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to condole with the family of our colleague, Sen. Ben Oluoch Okello. The last few weeks have been difficult for the late Sen. Okello and his family. I would like to thank the Speaker, the Clerk, and colleagues from both sides of the House for having stood by him and his family, as they went through his illness. I would like to pass my condolence to Ms. Hellen, Ms. Ruth and the children. All I can tell them is that it is well. Having said that, I would like to point ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Petition. We are not just calling for the protection of the Abasuba, but their recognition. When that is done, we will be able to protect their rich culture, heritage and language. Before Sen. Wako spoke, I wanted to say that the Abasuba also have some Luhya and Ekegusii in them, other than just the Basoga and the Baganda as Sen. M. Kajwang' said. Sen. M. Kajwang’ seems to be a good source of the issues pertaining to the Abasuba. This Committee should consider tapping this knowledge. Recently, the ... view

• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, is Sen. Kang'ata in order to insinuate that the Abasuba have no right to seek for recognition and protection of their culture just because they are not rich or politically powerful? view
• 14 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to the Bill. This is a very important Bill. At the national level, the head of the Executive is the President and at the county level, the head of the executive is the governor. The President has the Attorney-General as the chief legal advisor and a county governor also needs a legal advisor. So, this Bill has come at the right time having been long overdue. Counties have been paying exorbitant fees in legal bills. Some of the pending bills we have heard that counties owe are because of the ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply. I would like to thank my colleague Senators who have greatly contributed to this Bill. With their contributions, they have enriched this Bill greatly. Members have suggested that we put a provision for costing of services to the public like preparation of the deed poll, estate administration, documentation and also title deeds. They also suggested that we should have a provision for vetting of the County Printer by the County Public Service Board (CPSB) and the staff of the Office of the County Printer to be sourced from the national Government Printer, so ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I use Mombasa Road most of the time and I see so many vehicles assembled at the General Motors (GM), buses included. Those are vehicles assembled in GM, here in Kenya. Why would we, therefore, be importing buses from South Africa? In fact, Isuzu Kenya even has an agreement with schools on how they can buy school buses on a preferential basis. There are, therefore, already mechanisms in this country on how we can acquire buses. Why would we, therefore, be importing buses from South Africa? With those few remarks, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I am a Member of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare that is responsible for this Bill. There has been a lot of confusion and disharmony in the operationalisation of the Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPFUND) and the Local Authorities Pensions Trust (LAPTRUST). This Bill is an answer to the problems that are in those two arrangements. If you look at Clause 7 in Part III on the Board of Trustees and the County Governments’ Retirement Scheme Fund, the composition of that board has ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the Committee on Labor and Social Welfare, I thank all the Senators who have contributed immensely to this Bill. All the opinions and suggestions that have been put forward will be incorporated in the Bill as it moves to the next stage. Pursuant to Standing Order 55 (3) I request that you defer the putting of the question on this Bill to a later date. view
