• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In my county of Nandi, whereas we may not have had some of these notable misfortunes in terms of loss of lives through these illicit brews, but it is an issue. We heard Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. mentioning a brew called view
• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: ; in my county, we have a drink called Tostos, which has adversely affected families. Whatever Sen. Melly was talking about here is a real issue; that women have had to demonstrate demanding for their rights. This is a right that should not be limited by any other issue because you only need to be well, well fed and for you to perform. view
• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: But this is an issue that has been affected by the prevalence of illicit brews. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is one of the devolved functions and I think one of the greatest persuasion for me to support this Bill is the fact that the Bill seeks to recognize the role of county governments in licensing alcohol. I have interacted with a number of Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) in my county and they always raise the issue of illicit brews. They want the national Government to ensure that this issue is addressed. I always point out to them ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not want to interrupt my colleague. However, she mentioned something that needs to be corrected. We know that the Committee may have considered what we are dealing with here but may not have presented us with their Report. If the Committee has not done that, then most likely, this Bill has not been brought before them. Therefore, it would be misleading to say that what we are discussing here The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate approves the Report of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2013) laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 1st April, 2014. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Report of the Mediation Committee relating to the amendment to the County Governments (Amendment) Bill No.2, seeking to amend the County Governments Act to provide for the establishment of County Development Boards in our counties. You will remember that this is an amendment Bill that was moved in this House, ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the basis of this Bill is to provide a platform for dialogue at the county level. The challenge that we have had before is where you have dialogue in an uncoordinated manner; where myself and my governor have had to make consultations over funerals and weddings. We are just providing a legal framework to provide an opportunity to dialogue. This is the same thing that our friends in CORD have been raising, the need to have dialogue. All of us agree on that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by appreciating that this is the first ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Mover of the Motion, looking at this House, we do not even have the numbers. You gave directions, earlier, that we continue with debate. My feeling is that we continue with debate, exhaust it and I will reply. As we have always done traditionally, the voting can be scheduled for tomorrow since we do not have the numbers. It would be dangerous for us to imagine that we can get two or three Senators from out there. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know I have 30 minutes to reply, allow me to donate a few minutes to the Members as we also finalize. I want to donate three minutes to Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o, two minutes to Sen. Hassan, two minutes to Sen. Obure, one and a half minutes to my friend Sen. Wangari and one minute to the young people represented by Sen. Kanainza. The balance, I will distribute them later on. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also donate one and a half minutes to Sen. Njoroge. Since it is my time, I would request that you give the first priority to Sen. Wangari, then progressively to other Senators. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not intend to use more than three minutes. However, I must appreciate the contribution and the lobbying that Members of this House have done. We know the challenges we have had with the National Assembly were great The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
