• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, maybe the Senator did not get me well. I am saying that the counties that have good facilities inherited from municipal or county councils found it easy going. So, it is not very easy for them to know that ours are out in the rain. Last but not least, I would like to urge the House to support this Motion because a certain amount of discussion has been going on, where the Executive would consider - if there was a resolution of the Senate - within the Supplementary Budget to at least start us off. Without ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion. As we all know, the Constitution came with quite a big overhaul of the way we knew things before and among them the creation of devolved governments in the name of the 47 counties. In their wisdom, the Committee of Experts in establishing the boundaries of the 47 counties followed the boundaries of the districts as they were in 1991. In their wisdom, Kenyans also accepted that position. After that, the position is that the counties which were districts by then had their normal establishment. They had the Provincial Administration, ... view

• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: 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 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. With all due respect, we are through with the Second Reading. Here, we are at the Committee Stage and I stand corrected, because we finished the First Reading and the Second Reading and what we are now doing is moving amendments to the Bill already accepted at the Second Reading which we completed. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I rise to support the inclusion of this New Clause. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, first of all, I would wish to disagree with Sen. Billow Kerrow. There is need to have this forum at the constituency and ward level. However, where it says that the meetings will take place quarterly in the county, I think that needs to be amended so that the meetings at the ward level do not happen quarterly. This is because I think we shall be overdoing things. If you collect the views at the ward level maybe once every year or ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the amendments were not brought in time for us to digest, but I am happy we have been able to save time. My comment is on Schedule on No.4 and No.5 where the first one is His Excellency, second His Excellency and number three is the Right Honourable Speaker, but when it comes to the Senator, we are only referring to them as Senator. We also want to be referred to as Honourable Senators. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in Senate: My apologies, Mr. Temporary Chairman; this is my proposal. I would have thought, that we be addressed as Honourable Senators and also the Governor should have a title like Honourable Governor. That is my proposal. I know they prefer to be known as Your Excellency. So, instead of referring to them as Your Excellency, Governor, it should be Honourable Governor. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I then move with the House. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice on this important matter. I will start by congratulating you on the way you have handled it. As Members of the Senate are aware, I have been away for a while. The news of the advisory opinion by the Supreme Court is something I got when I was away. I was very happy and excited about it. I had a feeling that this House was moving towards a very dangerous direction. As I stand here, I want to add one word to this whole game of consultation between ... view
