• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: With that Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to say that we look forward to a very useful period. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill especially because of the provisions concerning the appointment of a deputy speaker at the county assembly. In the previous arrangements in the county assemblies, there has not been a deputy speaker in the House. Therefore, there is the risk of creating a vacuum in the House incase, for some reason, the Speaker vacates office or is removed. This amendment serves to fill in that gap. There should be a deputy speaker elected from the members of the county assemblies. This will form a link between the House which has elected ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairman of the Committee on Land and Natural Resources for the answer that he has given. In the county which I come from, there are multinationals which own large tracts of land. There are several public schools within those large tea estates. In fact, there are 11 primary schools and two secondary schools. Currently, there is a requirement that before a school receives Government funding, a Land Reference (LR) number should be given for those institutions. The Chairman should tell us the conditions for registration that those schools should follow in order to ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are all aware about the Devolution Conferences that have taken place in the past in Kwale and Kisumu counties. The experience that the Senate has is as has been mentioned by the Senate Minority Leader. It was unpleasant. As the new Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government, we are getting engaged in the preparation of the current Conference. In fact, Sen. (Dr.) Zani and myself have been nominated by the Speaker to sit in the steering committee, which will be meeting tomorrow in Meru, to plan for the participation of Members, including Members of ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have been a Senator for the last three years and was in this House when the first and second conferences were organized. The Chair of the Council of Governors then was my governor. Those meetings were chest-thumping forums for the governors. I have listened to the sentiments of the Senators, including senior Members of this House and have no reason not to take their concerns seriously. During the last conference the Parliamentary Service Commission spent Kshs10 million. I am sure that the Senate is not excited about this year’s conference and not even a ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have no reason to disobey the instructions given to me by my Speaker. I got a letter requesting me to join two other governors in the steering committee. We will deliberate on the programmes of devolution. The letter at the end indicates that there will be a meeting with the business community in Meru. The business community includes and, in fact, it is organised by the Njuri Ncheke. The letter did not specify which of the functions of the many Njuri Nchekes in Meru, but that is what it says. Madam Temporary Speaker, as to my ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I join my colleagues in welcoming the officials from the county assemblies. The Senate has much more to offer to these officials from county assemblies. The Senate has a school which they can learn from much more than what they observe in the Senate. There are also other institutions in Government where management courses are offered. The visiting officials from county assemblies have a great role to play in making sure that the resources that have gone to counties are put to the best use, for the benefit of the citizens of this country. This can only ... view
