• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Committee is supposed to deliver a statement sought by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I have just mentioned to him that part of it was ready last week and the Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights was ready to deliver it then. Unfortunately he was not around that day. I have tried to trace the response, but I have been unable to pick it. I am sure we can liaise with Sen. Wako’s office and deliver the part that is ready tomorrow. The other component of this Question relates to the Ministry of Agriculture, ... view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for West Pokot in order to mislead this House because we know that when the Cabinet Secretary Nkaiserry was appointed, we have never been told the fate of Ole Lenku? It is possible that Ole Lenku is still a Cabinet Secretary without portfolio. view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I moved this Bill. However, just to refresh our memories, this is the County Hall of Fame Bill (Senate Bill No.33 of 2014). It seeks to establish a legal framework that allows county governments to honour the heroes and heroines who have made exceptional contributions in the counties. view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I indicated that the County Hall of Fame Bill (Senate Bill No.33 of 2014) seeks to fill the gap that exists. Currently, as we are all aware, we have the National Honours Act of 2013 that gives the opportunity to national Government officials, Parliament, the Judiciary, the Executive and county governments to recommend names of people to be feted and honoured. However, this framework does not address the issues within the counties. I appreciate the fact that if you go to each and every county in this country, each has its own history, heroes, heroines, men ... view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senator, while contributing, kept on using the word Vigango . I am sure myself and many other Kenyans may not understand what he meant. He has just mentioned that it means artifacts and I think that was important. view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stood on a point of order to request the Senator to explain what vigango means, so that Kenyans may know and follow him on this important contribution. view
• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish, at this point, to thank Senators who have contributed to this Bill. I also appreciate the very valid and immense contributions that they have made to this Bill. I thank Sen. Madzayo for seconding the Bill. I know that his Committee has developed a number of amendments that will address a number of concerns that were raised by Members. I appreciate contributions from all Senators. Some of them have specifically given examples of the very many heroes and heroines that we need to recognise. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know that even in biblical terms – ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I, kindly, request that you allow me, on behalf of the Senator for Kericho County, to appreciate the County Assembly delegation from Kericho County. You know that Sen. Charles Keter, the Senator for Kericho, is our Deputy Majority Leader. He is right now engaged in national parliamentary business. I am stepping in to welcome the delegation from Kericho County on his behalf. They are my neighbours. Therefore, I can step in for him. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on this particular one, we do not have a response today. However, I indicated to the Senator for Kisii that we have invited the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to appear before the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights on 22nd July, 2015. One of the things that the IEBC will be addressing is this particular concern. In fact, I take this opportunity also to invite all the other Senators. That will be an open session for the entire Senate, so that we can interrogate them on a number of issues, including the one captured ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, like the other statements sought by various Members, we are requesting that we hold the meeting. We will ask the IEBC to respond to these specific questions. However, they will have to reduce them into written statements to answer specifically each of the various questions. We will have an opportunity to seek further clarifications from them so that when they reduce their responses in paper, they can address not only these ones but--- view
