• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Order, Senators! We are in the Committee of the Whole on the Physical Planning Bill (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2015). We have several individual and Committee amendments to this Bill. Committee Members, Sen. Kivuti and Sen. Khaniri have requested that we defer this Order. So, we will defer it to tomorrow. Therefore, we have to report progress on the same. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that the Committee of the Whole has considered the Physical Planning Bill (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2015) and seeks leave to seat again tomorrow. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale would listen to me. Whereas I agree with the very valid point raised by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and I am one of the Members of the Speaker’s Panel, I have always followed your footsteps. If a Member of the Speaker’s Panel does not do the right thing, that is the point a Senator is supposed to point out. Is he in order to insinuate that Members of the Panel – obviously not me because I have always followed your footsteps – who are very well ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, being a very good debater in this House, wants to take us round in circles. The substantiation is with regard to 60 per cent of the positions in the public service going to two communities. Therefore, he should substantiate the allegation that if you look at the composition of the Cabinet, you will find that 60 per cent is made up of two communities. The substantiation is with regard to 60 per cent, two communities and the public service. If he does not do so, I will request ... view

• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale must take colleagues in this House seriously. He alleged and, in fact, appeared to complain about the 60 per cent. None of the Members in this House did that, but he seems to be giving an illustration using his native language that seems to paint some Senators in this House to be the ones wailing like dogs or something like that. Could he explain the relevance of his example? view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to mislead this House with regard to the position the Deputy President took on this issue? He was clear that we can keep a few bulls for cultural practices. However, we must invest in commercial agriculture. We should keep cows and bulls for either beef or dairy.

• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this important amendment. The new component brought through this amendment seeks to give the NCIC more powers and mandate to evaluate and look into the various peace building processes and programmes in this country. It is important because there are various peace building initiatives by the Government, non-governmental organizations, civil society, community organizations and the religious groups. Therefore, it is important that a standard message comes from all these peace building mechanisms, so that we are sure that the right message is sent. Therefore, I want to congratulate Sen. Elachi for this ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I am a bit saddened that we are adding a new mandate to a commission that has already failed to carry out its existing mandate. The kind of situation we find ourselves in this country, the level of suspicion among communities and the failure to have proper perspective for various issues in this country with regard to national cohesion and integration is a clear demonstration of the failure by the current team. I will give an example of Nandi County that was quoted as one of the counties that did not comply with the ethnic composition ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in congratulating Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) of Garissa for bringing this particular Petition. It must be understood by everybody and especially governors that the responsibility of county assemblies is to deal with the budget. The law provides on how to resolve crisis or disagreement arising from the budgeting process. Therefore, the tendency by governors to ignore provisions of the Public Finance Management Act on how to resolve challenges--- Sometimes, governors intentionally engage that so that there is a lacuna for them to misuse public resources. Whereas I know the timelines ... view
