• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have the answer yet. But I just want to report that we did get in touch with the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. If you look at the Statement sought, the bigger component of it is about the boundaries and the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government did forward the same to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). As a Committee, we discussed and resolved to invite the IEBC to come and address a number of issues on boundaries, including a number of other Statements ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when this matter came up last week, I pointed out to the Speaker that as a Committee, we realised that the Statement that was sought by Sen. Khaniri ought to have gone to the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations but as a Committee, once an issue has been directed to our Committee, we did not have the liberty to change that. I guess what informed the Speaker’s initial direction that this request comes to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, was on the boundary element of it. We forwarded this to the ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the frustrations that we go through when we ask for Statements. Sen. Khaniri is one of the Chairs of the various Committees. I have raised before that we do the best we can to seek these Statements from the various Ministries, in this case, the Attorney-General’s office. When the matter went to the Attorney-General’s office, he indicated that based on his assessment, the issue that was sought related more with the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and that he forwarded the matter to the Ministry. So far, as a Committee, we have ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We, as a Committee, used Article 125 on several occasions. However, the predicament that we were in with regard to this Statement is that it was directed to our Committee, but if you look at its content, the only aspect that would relate to our Committee was on the boundary. However, every other aspect of the Statement relates to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and the Standing Orders; the Attorney General forwarded the Statement to them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified ... view
• 23 Jun 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Having benefited from the deep understanding of Kiswahili by Sen. Zani, in her contribution, she made references to a country and gave it the name “Amerikana .” I was wondering whether that is really the proper Kiswahili word for “America,” because we always talk of “Marekani.” Can she confirm that, that is the new word to referring to America? view

• 17 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last time I saw the Senate Majority Leader was in a function in my county, where we had fruitful engagement with the Head of State and many other leaders. I want to appreciate that he has been able to come back to the House to execute his responsibilities as the Senate Majority Leader. I also wish to note that he actually spoke on behalf of the Senate bravely and pointed out the issues that this House has been addressing for the last three days. I want to congratulate him because he stood for the Senate at ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in Senate: The legal basis of the Tobacco Control Regulations, 2014, is premised on Section 53 of the Tobacco Control Act, No. 41 of 2007, which provides powers to the Cabinet Secretary to make regulations in the following terms:- The Cabinet Secretary may on recommendations of the Board, in this case the Tobacco Control Board, make regulations:- (a) For prescribing anything provided for or required by this Act to be prescribed.
