  • 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “and shall invite members of the public to give their views on the instrument within a prescribed period and in a manner to be determined by the Committee” immediately after the words “affected by the proposed instrument”. This is an amendment by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and its intention is to provide a standard format. This is the concept of public participation in terms of every regulation or law that is being made. ... view

  • 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 15 and substituting thereof the following new clause- Notice to the Regulation Making authority 15. In so far as is practically possible, the committee shall in considering a statutory instrument, and before tabling its report in the county assembly, confer with the regulation-making authority which has made the statutory instrument that is before the committee for scrutiny.

  • 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, looking at the Order Paper, that seems to have concluded the business that is in today’s Order Paper. It is now some minutes to 4.00 p.m. We have serious accountability challenges in our counties. The various Committees of this House given the responsibility to carrying out oversight are sitting on reports and have never concluded business in their Committees. In the next two or three minutes, this House will adjourn for lack of business. This is a serious matter because we are heading to the elections. We are losing billions of money in various counties. This ... view
  • 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue about Bills being approved here and lying on the shelves in the National Assembly is very serious. In the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and I worked on a Bill on the County Attorney. Right now, there are messes in the counties. Very serious legal blunders by governors would have been avoided if we had qualified county attorneys to advise them. Our counties are making serious financial commitments in blatant disregard to the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. We are witnessing County Executive Committee (CEC) members or governors ... view
  • 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to mislead you that the Public Gallery is empty when we have two people? Even in the Speaker’s Gallery there is one person. view
  • 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is important that whereas Sen. Muthama and Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o have alluded to the previous Parliaments where you largely had the Government and Opposition sides, but in this new dispensation, the real importance of an Executive in parliamentary business is not as important as it was then. If you realised the issues that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and I raised, they have very little to do with the national Executive but everything to do with the relationship between the National Assembly and the Senate. We need to crack the relationship ... view
