• 28 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if somebody is working from the comfort of his office, from the comfort of three or four bodyguards and police officers, from the comfort of a siren and a fleet of vehicles around him, they may not seem to understand the challenges that certain families go through. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in Senate: I mentioned, in that Statement, that two of the children were found murdered. Part of the question was a request to the Government to compensate and even support the families with the burial. One of the families, a very humble family, could not have a decent burial for their child. They could not afford a coffin. We had to do a harambee to support them. If one looks at what families are going through and there is a public officer sitting in the office of a Cabinet Secretary, comfortable for two or three weeks and not taking time to appreciate ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Chairperson for that statement. However, I want to seek the following clarification; first, how much is paid for every delivery? Secondly; what is the Government doing to ensure that the facilities – you cannot talk about supporting free maternity and the facilities are not up to date. In my county, I want to ask the chairperson to indicate the steps the Government is doing to ensure that they improve maternity services within the counties and what steps they are doing to ensure ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join the Chair to thank and welcome the pupils from Nandi Hills Primary School. This is a wonderful school with very young children who are focused. This school neighbours the school where the five children who have been the subject of debate in the House this afternoon come from. May I tell them that this House had an occasion to discuss their welfare. The Senators had an opportunity to express themselves on the disappearances of their colleagues from Chesuwe Village, Nandi Hills sub-county and that the Senate stands with them. However, I encourage them to ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would help this House if we got fairly straight answers. The question as you have rightly pointed out is; how far are the recommendations of the Select Committee on the Kenya Airways, as adopted by the 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
• 28 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Senator in order to anticipate debate? We are in the Senate and are not aware of any recess. Is he in order? He should be able to give us timelines in terms of two weeks. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this amendment. This amendment seeks to address an issue that we discussed yesterday while discussing this Bill in the sense that what we are discussing is an adoption of the report of the Mediation Committee. Standing Order 155(3) of the Senate Standing Orders, provides that we should have a Motion to adopt the Report together with an agreed version of the Bill. 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
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very sad when matters of this nature which are very urgent and very important are responded to in that manner. Various committees and the Government – in this case the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) – are handling some of these issues very casually. There is a growing trend within the CSs in this country to take for granted issues being raised in this House. We do not stand here to raise issues and seek statements on our own behalf but we do this because of the counties and the people that we represent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Majority Whip, through Sen. Elachi, in order to try and cajole this House into believing that because some officers in a Ministry had to travel to “I do not know where”; that this House can wait for such a period in order to get responses? Is she trying to suggest that an entire Ministry had to travel? In fact, it now appears that the problem might not be the ministry but our The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have an interest in that particular matter. We are also affected in Nandi County because of this industrial action by the tea pickers. However, before the Committee seeks your support or indulgence of the Speaker’s Office, sometimes as Committees, we take for granted some of the powers that are given to us. If you look at Article 125, some of these Ministries are not doing their job. The Members can engage the provisions of the Constitution to summon them. Before we appeal for your administrative powers in order to help us sort out some of these ... view
