• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Committee. There are other instances like the issue of two Senators from the same county and things like that. Therefore, I would like to think of the process. There is nothing wrong with the Motion going through, but we should also look at the possibilities of the process. Also, when there is an ad hoc committee - which we should be using very sparingly - the use of an ad hoc committee is not to find things when we have standing committees. We have had ad hoc committees before, and it is not a panacea that we have an ad ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: committees in this particular case. Furthermore, the content we are asking for needs to change. If you look at the information we are looking for, it is not new information. This information can be found in libraries. You can do what we call--- view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. If we must go back to the drawing board and get hold of the things we are looking for, we must change the narrative that we provide in the Motion. As far as the Motion is concerned, if you look at it critically, you will find that the information is not new. You can find this information from sources that are readily available. Without being opposed to something that is good, I suggest that we look at the possibility of the Mover rewriting this Motion, so that it sticks and gives a little more ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I chose to use part of that information. I am in a bit of a quagmire that I would like to put before this House to consider how to handle this matter. Otherwise, it is important that we get to the bottom of this matter. It is useful, but let us look at our own mechanism of getting to the bottom of this matter. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I think he owes me an apology for claiming that my mind is wishy washy to begin with. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the very onset; I will support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. If you look at this House and the way that Members of this House are contributing to this Bill, you will notice that there is an overhand about the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) every time we are dealing with CARA. People have not moved on. We are still focused on DORA the reason being that we were preparing to fight to the very end. When we gave in, it is still a psychological problem in the House trying to bring ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Please, protect me from our own Members? view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is imperative that we pass this on account of our own climbing down. We should no longer lament about our previous position. It is about time we moved on. Fortunately, this is an annual event. If we did not do very well this year, we have a chance to do better next year. Hopefully, supporting some of what my colleagues have said; let it be the last time that we are being asked to view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: turn down from a position that we have taken so that we can actually prove that we defend counties. The tendency is to think that CARA is a panacea. Passing the CARA alone and having money in the counties is not necessarily the end of our struggles about how monies are spent. It is common knowledge that while we are waiting eagerly for this money to go down and the executives in the counties are waiting; it is not all for the good cause. There is a kind of an unwritten code that you become a governor so that you ... view
