• 29 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is good that the Deputy Majority Leader has just come from a house where those facilities are there. Whether you are the majority leading an important Motion like this or another Member is fair. Sen. Murkomen calls it good practice and it is true. Having said that, I wish to say, when this annulment – I do not know whether it was an annulment or a resolution to annul because the regulations had not come into place, the Parliamentary Service Commission had not effected them. Nonetheless, when this resolution came, if you recall, the media in ... view
• 29 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee, which I have had an opportunity to serve in, when we invite the governor of a particular county, say, the Governor for Kisii County, we also invite the Senator for Kisii County. The reason why we do so is that he not only contributes to the deliberations in the meeting but he should also be in a position to give an insight to the issues being raised pertaining to that county. We will expect the Senator for that county to be useful in those deliberations when matters of ... view
• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this issue is very crucial to the life and image of this House. However, having said that, let us be realistic. The issue is not just a Bill which was passed by this House and got stuck in the other House or it has not been consented to yet. The law is much wider. When we passed the new Constitution in our own goodwill as Kenyans, we separated the Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislature. It was in word before but now it is there in reality. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before, MPs were not independent. ... view
• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to contribute on this Bill. An amendment to the Constitution is a provision which is to be exercised by Parliament sparingly and when it is absolutely necessary. This can only be done if we feel those who drafted the Constitution may have fundamentally erred or left a loophole that we have to revisit. Having said that, let us appreciate that there are many funds. For example, before the Constitution of Kenya 2010 was promulgated, we had the Women Enterprise Fund, Roads Fund, Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and many others. ... view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to say one or two things with regard to this Bill. I support this Bill strongly. The gist of this Bill is on who has the final say when it comes to suspension and ultimately the dissolution of a county government. We are happy that we have a new Constitution which we had been crying for many years, if not decades. Eventually, we got a Constitution in 2010 and it is now running into six years. However, it has now dawned on us that there are very many gaps ... view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, presuming I am wrong, in the tradition of Parliament, I withdraw and apologise on that particular bit. On the other hand, if I am right, then Sen. (Dr.) Zani is the one to withdraw the remark and apologise. I will confirm in a moment. 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
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, can I therefore go to my contribution? I will withdraw and apologise if I am wrong. If I am right could you give the opportunity to Sen. (Dr.) Zani to withdraw her point of order and apologise? view
• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to address two issues only. The first one is, this whole process has been going on for close to 10 days now up to when the media started reporting that the Assembly will vote and so on. In my observation, the social media has been awash with all manner of comments and views. However, you will find roughly eight or nine out of 10 of the issues which are being commented on are not on the charge sheet. This House has even gone ahead and conducted impeachment of a governor. Sometimes when the House finds ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support and compliment you for coming up with a clear direction on how to proceed on this. None of us was under the illusion that it was going to be an easy process. I want to comment on the beginning and the end of it, more so, on the comments by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. When we are in a Committee dealing with impeachment proceedings, it is the same 11 Members who listen to the same charges and answers at the same time. However, when we are in the Committee of the Whole, there is that little ... view
