  • 29 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. Sen. Kiraitu had not made a request and so I did. It should be clear that you gave me in order of merits and not on any other account. I wish to support by stating clearly that it is an important Motion. From Kshs200 billion, we are now sending more than Kshs300 to the counties. Devolution was about service delivery and that is why if you look at the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, we gave the county governments the functions that touch on ordinary mwananchi . We are talking ... view
  • 29 Nov 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
  • 29 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Murungi for that information. We are political human beings, especially in this Senate and we know what is happening in this country. Therefore, what Sen. Murungi has said is not far from the truth. I am sure that that will be confirmed in due course. I ask this Committee to work with the National Assembly with exceptional speed and give the final push so that we can have oversight resources given to counties. This is so that Sen. Cheruiyot for Kericho County in the Twelfth Parliament should have resources to hold his governor ... view
  • 29 Nov 2016 in Senate: To Dr. G.G. Kariuki. view
  • 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
  • 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that yesterday, this Statement could not be issued because the response by the Chairperson had one or two pages missing and I have not been served with a copy of the same. I request that we proceed to the other statements so that those particular pages can be photocopied. view
  • 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very tragic when Government officers mandated to protect the lives of Kenyans bring such kind of a statement that seems to give a narration of a video of some sort. We are talking about the loss of life. The Vice- Chairperson or the Ministry is giving us stories that do not point to the issue. She has told us that on 22nd September, police officers received a distress call from the assistant chief that some thugs had attacked some village or some people. She then went ahead to say that the police officers met some ... view
  • 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Vice Chairperson told us that during interrogation, the motorcyclist escaped but returned to the police station the following day to record a statement. At the point of interrogation, that means if you are already determined that this is the suspect. How does the motorcyclist run away and then appear tomorrow again to record a statement? This is why this looks more like a movie. Secondly, the officers--- view
  • 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement also reads that after this interrogation, the officers from Serem Police Station visited the scene and confirmed that 200 metres from the scene of the shooting, that a Mr. Derrick Munyori and his wife Ms. Sheila Muhonja had been attacked by men who escaped in a motorbike. The question is; you have these people you referred to as suspects; were these two families given the opportunity to identify the suspects who attacked them? Was there an identification parade to establish the suspects? Did this family also report the matter to a police station? If they ... view
  • 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement was due two weeks ago. You realise that we have not received the response. However, in terms of progress, the statement sought by Sen. Wangari, though directed to our Committee, the matter also involves the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations because of the component of provincial administration boundaries. That has to be sorted out because the conflict here is between a ward, locations and districts. We have been advised that they are doing internal consultations so that we get a comprehensive response addressing that issue from both the legal aspect from the Attorney-General’s ... view
