• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: and now it has turned out to be pesa mashimoni because no money has reached them. I am encouraged when I see devolution in its reality; when I see civilians sitting under a tree and discussing what they want to be done for them. This has resulted into a document called the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP). This document speaks the truth about devolution because these are the people in the villages saying what they want to be done. We, as Senators we have gotten funds for the various development activities in the counties, but unfortunately, the money has not ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, you had already given me the Floor. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, whereas I support the amendment which has been sought, I think that we want to consider the seriousness of the underfunding of our institutions, especially the hospitals as they are. I just want to give a scenario that I experienced this morning when I went to see a hospital executive and asked if they could intervene to have a patient treated with squamous cell carcinoma. For those who know, this is a very aggressive condition. The patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and given an appointment in June, 2015. I think that this is a big ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I thought that by standing, you would see me. I am generally a short fellow. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, mine is a small point drawn from the experience that I have had in the last two or three weeks in Bomet County. Mr. Chairman, Sir, there has been an attempt by the Controller of Budget to resolve the dispute that exists in Bomet County, in order to pacify the county assembly and the executive. I want to suggest an amendment in the next stage of this process where it is the Controller of Budget who should be empowered to participate in the setting of the ceilings rather than the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). Thank you, ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the formation of this Special Committee. We have not before dealt with the issue of a deputy governor. I think that precedence will be set by this situation. I have no doubt in mind that we have put together colleagues who do not belong to either side of the House and we believe that they will look at the various reasons brought up and interrogate them extensively. The consequences of impeachment are very serious and, therefore, we should base our decisions on well researched and well discussed points of view brought before us. ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since the so-called stick which my fellow Senator is carrying was prescribed by a doctor, then I think it ceases to be a stick, but an orthopedic supporting instrument. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, two weeks ago, I sought a statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. I notice that another question on the industry was also asked. I would like to request that my request be consolidated by the Chairperson as he gives the answer to the statement asked by my colleague from the tea growing area like myself. I notice there are some similarities in some areas that I probably need some clarification. I am only requesting that when he answers the question from Sen. Okong’o, parts of my question can be dealt ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the distinguished Senator for Kitui, Sen. Musila, for bringing this issue to the Senate passionately. I also join the others, of course, in thanking the Deputy President for making the declaration, which we have taken. Whether it was made on the roadside or otherwise, a declaration has been made. 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
