• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the sentiments and comments expressed by my colleague. The one thing that I have to seek the Senate to be aware of is the necessary bottlenecks that may be put in the path of the management of health services at the county level. I also believe that there are certain legislative issues that need to be looked at. The Waste Management Act was last amended in 2006 and does not address the population increase and the increased industrialization in this country. That needs to be looked at. The Food and Drugs Act that manages ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me, on behalf of my Chairperson and the Vice Chairperson, to deliver the Statement as requested by Sen. Njoroge. I will give a brief background on the statement he sought regarding the opening of the multi-million shilling battery assembling factory in Naivasha, Nakuru County. I wish to inform this House that the battery factory in question is registered as Ganesh Eco Solutions Limited. This is a recycling facility located in Naivasha, Nakuru County. The facility has been licensed to manufacture copper cables, lead acid batteries, automotive spare parts, smelting and lead recycling. In May, 2014, the ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: I will repeat the last sentence. The study report was submitted to NEMA on 13th August, 2014 for an in-depth review. A public hearing on the project was conducted on 6th November, 2014. This was followed by licensing of the facility on 27th November, 2014 to pave way for operations. On 9th April, 2015, NEMA inspectors visited the facility and realised that it was not adhering to the licence conditions in respect to pollution prevention. Consequently, on 4th May, 2015, the manager of the factory was issued with a closure order requiring him to close the factory recycling plant. Mr. ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is just a few hours ago that Kenyans heard the news of an Al Shabaab attack in an area called Yumbis in this country. Indeed, every Kenyan and patriot that loves this country should be pursuing the Al Shabaab . At this time to be told that you are pursuing the Al Shabaab either in your thoughts, dreams or plans is noble. It is unfortunate that maybe this has been taken out of context, but you tell me that I am pursuing the Al Shabaab, and we do not fear them. We will fight. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I congratulate the team for work well done, I want to comment on the timelines. This Bill was in the “lower” House and a Gazette supplement was actually produced on 28th December, 2014. If you look at the way the Bill has proceeded, we received it in April and by 22nd we were returning it back 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
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you listened carefully to the remarks of Sen. Orengo, he alluded to the fact that the current Government wants to interfere with the next elections. Could Sen. Orengo substantiate that allegation? view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The history of African Presidents and tragedy is well known. We know that at one time, a President of Mozambique was killed by having his plane bombed in air. We also know that the Presidents of Burundi, Rwanda as well as Sudan had the same fate. Is it possible that this was an assassination attempt, cleverly planned and executed, to kill the President of the Republic of Kenya under dubious circumstances? Secondly, who were the planners of this journey, who did not know that the President’s flight would go through a warzone? Thirdly, is that ... view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: ): On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As per Standing Order No.91, we are explicitly reminded not to discuss the conduct or character 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
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Whereas I respect my leader in politics and in the House, I would like to remind him to change his spectacles for better vision and read Standing Order No.90 which talks of any conduct and not personal conduct. I can lend him my spectacles. view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I really respect your ruling on the request put to you by Sen. Sang. However, look at Standing Order No.43 (2), which says; “A Senator shall read to the Senate any message from the Governor of his county to the Senate and such message shall be in writing and shall be signed by the Governor of the County.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, are you convinced that is what Sen. Hassan is doing? view
