• 2 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir, for this opportunity. I want to support this amendment, but I also want to say that the issues you are hearing our side raising all along with regard to the county assemblies is because this Senate has endeared itself as one of the institutions that protects devolution. Some of the committees of this House have invited Governors to come and shed light on a number of issues that are going on in our counties and the Council of Governors have claimed that that should be done by the county assemblies and not the Senate. When ... view
• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While appreciating the gesture that you have just showed to my good friend, Sen. Kipchumba Murkomen and the Senate Minority Leader, the whole of yesterday and Tuesday, we had serious delegations from Nandi County. It is unfortunate that the Chair did not recognize them, particularly on the very nice compliments that you have shared that their Senators are part of the leadership of the Senate, present in the House and actively contributing, I believe that I should have also benefited from those compliments. view
• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this very important Motion. If county governors will not be accountable and resist the oversight role of the Senate, then devolution will fail. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all of us appreciate the fact that counties have very little resources. These House continues to seek avenues of increasing the resources that go to counties. It is tragic that even the little resources we are sending to counties are being squandered. Therefore, governors should wake up because accountability is a must. We must get services in our counties and value for money. Governors ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I rise to support the amendment by Sen. G.G. Kariuki. We, as the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, sat. We deliberated on this Bill and solicited the views of all the stakeholders under the leadership of the Attorney-General Emeritus . We solicited views from all the stakeholders and drafted an amendment. However, when you look at the amendment by Sen. G.G Kariuki, just like the one by Sen. Khaniri had, you will see that we, as a Committee, agreed to drop our amendment. We agreed to support Sen. G.G. Kariuki’s amendment because it captured ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I stand to support this further amendment. What is more important is the fact that the Senator for Laikipia has confirmed that to this House and he actually has the evidence that he has been instructed on this particular matter by the County Assembly of Laikipia. I would only add that we 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
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Chairman, Sir. While I appreciate the comments being made by Sen. Kipchumba Murkomen, is he in order to make such kind of comments knowing that he is already a sponsor of a Bill in this House that tries to set the limits or the percentages between development and recurrent expenditures? If we are prepared to walk in that line of sharing or apportioning the percentages on recurrent and development expenditures, it means again that we can still apportion ceilings on the basis of recurrent expenditure. So, it is doublespeak for the Senator to talk of the fact that ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to support the further amendment to the amendment brought by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.

• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my clarification is similar to what Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo has said. My clarification is whether there exists an ethnic community called Kalenjin. If it exists, why was it not captured in the mathematics or statistics? I am a Nandi. I have no idea if there is an ethnic community called Kalenjin. Sen. Keter is a Kipsigis. Could the Chairperson confirm whether there exists an ethnic community called Kalenjin? view

• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the honorable Senator from Elgeyo- Marakwet has just gained access to the Chamber with some crude weapon. Is he in order? Are we safe in this House? view
