• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairman in order to go round and round and avoid the real answer to this question? Which is that we Kenyans have worked very hard to convert our nation into a money society such that; the rules are there, regulations are there, the Government has done very much what can be done but because we have converted ourselves into a money society, someone will go and open a bar next to a school as Sen. Karaba has said. However, because that individual is able to use money and go and influence the ones ... view
• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. My full name is Muriuki Karue Muriuki. Before I say whether I support this Motion or not, let me say a few things. Let me start off by congratulating this Committee. They have really done the work we gave them to do. Therefore, whether we agree with one particular amendment or view
• 13 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to contribute and say the Chairman of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has a point. Whether we like it or not and until and unless the administration of Parliament and the Standing Orders are changed such that we are able to get Statements when they are sought, we are able to get the Government officials to come to the House. The House can very well organise its Standing Orders in such a way such that an official comes and finds us as a Committee of the Whole. This is so that if they ... view
• 9 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My comment is on the Division of Revenue Bill. Where we are now as a country is a very awkward situation because in a few weeks, we will be starting the new financial year. However, without the Division of Revenue Bill, and subsequent to that, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, it will look like we can end up with no money going to the counties. Mine is to seek direction from the Chair, because presuming we are due to adjourn sine die next week on Thursday and it looks like the normal process and ... view
• 9 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to move that the County Pension Scheme Bill (Senate Bill No.20 of 2016) be now read a Second Time. You will recall that this Bill, in an earlier version, was tabled before this House way back in 2014. The House, in its wisdom, rejected that original version of the Bill. The Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, in conjunction with various stakeholders, developed another version of the Bill, which is what is before the House. This Bill was subjected to public participation and because of the very wide interests in the national Government and ... view
• 9 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe he is dully civilized now. I wish to back the suggestion by one of the Senators in respect to one of the matters before the House earlier on, which is that when we have little time and the matter is not overly controversial, it helps to re-agree in an informal way, so that when we come to the Plenary, assuming we have the numbers, we do not have many speakers because it does not need a lot of time and we are able to pass it quickly. With those few words, I beg to ... view
• 25 May 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is to commend those who have found it appropriate to bring petitions to the Senate but more particularly the petition by Mr. Mutuku of Makueni. I think the Senate should in future look at that petition and allow or provide for an official window where residents of a county can be able to raise issues of governance and malpractices officially without each one of them having to compile a petition. That way, we can help the Senate to cut a lot of embezzlement of funds and malpractices within the counties. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view

• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first of all, confirm that the intervention button still works. I tried several times yet you did not see my request. However, my substantive point is that I stand to condemn what is happening in Laikipia. I do not like to go the way my colleague, the Senator for Mandera is; taking the position that the Government is out to exterminate a community in that area as it were. We are now at the mercy of the media in the absence of an official Government position. I sympathize with Sen. Adan on the fact that the ... view
• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to echo the sentiments of my colleagues. What is bothering us is that we have a lot of business which for one reason or another is left undone. It, therefore, gives a very bad image of the Senate. I know that we can be recalled for special sittings and nothing prevents us from sitting for a week or even two weeks in a row, so long as the gazette notice specifies the days and matters to be considered. Jesus said that the laws of Moses were made to help the people and not vice ... view
