• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my questions have been well executed by Sen. Khaniri. view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Chairman aware that in the history of elections of Kenya since Independence, positioning of electoral centres has been used as a tool for rigging elections? 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 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it, therefore, true that one of the cardinal duties of the taskforce was to lay the ground for rigging? view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I remind the Vice Chairperson of this Committee, who declared himself to be one of the most senior and powerful members of the Jubilee Government; Chapter 1, Article 2 (2) of the Constitution states:- “No person may claim or exercise State authority except as authorised under this Constitution.” This Constitution as per Article 2(1) is supreme. Your answer is totally breaching Article 249 (2) of this Constitution which only mandates the IEBC to do, not what you desire to do using the Cabinet. You need to apologise to the country for violating the Constitution. view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is evident that the Vice Chairperson, an eminent lawyer and Senator in this House, may not have read the Statement that he was given to execute on the Floor of this House. It is also evident that matters of the Constitution and its violation are evident. Will I, therefore, be in order to request that the Vice Chairperson is given another chance to relook into the Statement and give us a proper one befitting his status as we know him in this House? view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beseech that you also look at Standing Order No.94(2) as you make your ruling because Sen.Sang also has a duty to convince you that actually Sen. Wetangula was mischievous in the House. view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is indeed disheartening and very discouraging to hear this kind of report from our own Chairman of a very relevant committee in this House that audited reports have been left unsigned for a period that exceeds what he thinks is normal and acceptable in that regard. The Committee has also powers like the High Court to order that the reports to be signed and delivered to this House. Would I, therefore, be in order to beg that this Committee exactly does that, then you execute whatever reality of eventuality will be thereafter if they refuse to ... view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of my Chair and the Vice Chairperson who is in the House but could not read this Statement because she has lost her spectacles. I take this opportunity to execute the same. I will give the background on the cholera situation in the country as per now. The cholera outbreak that started on 26th December, 2014 in Nairobi County has so far affected 11 counties. The total number of cases as at 17th May, 2015, was 3,135 with 61 fatalities. Therefore, the case fatality ratio is 1:95. The national distribution ... view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Migori has had 15 cases with 12 deaths, which is about 1.3 per cent Case Fatality Rate (CFR). Homa Bay has had 377 cases with five fatalities that is 1.4 per cent CFR. Bomet has had 272 cases and two deaths which is 1.5 per cent CFR. Mombasa has had 99 cases and five deaths, which is 5 per cent CFR. Murang’a has had 567 cases and four deaths, which is a 0.7 per cent CFR. Nakuru has had 210 cases with 16 deaths, which is a 7.6 per cent CFR which is the highest. Kirinyaga has had 253 cases ... view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, cholera epidemic is an end product of many of several system failures including environmental management, sewage disposal and poor dissemination of funds when emergencies occur. To say that this epidemic is a fact that the county level health services are failing, is being a little bit myopic. Especially so, taking into cognizance the fact that a lot of funds in our budgeting system that are supposed to be disseminated directly to the counties, are held by the national Government. I would have thought otherwise but if you listen to the answer from the Ministry, apart from ... view
