• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: I am? In seconding this Motion, first, I would like to thank the Committee for the report they have tabled in the House. It is a commendable job that they have been able to go round the counties and actually give us a hands-on report of what is going on there. Of course, the report mentions a lot of things and specifically makes some recommendations on what we ought to do in order to improve services that we are delivering to our counties. If we look at the report on the Level Five Hospitals in particular, it gives us the ... view

• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Chairman, is actually denying me. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sit in the Committee on Education, Information and Technology, and I had the privilege of interrogating the Cabinet Secretary for Education. Most of these schools that are retaining these certificates are actually community schools which rely almost entirely on the funds which are paid by the parents who have children in those schools. Considering that the Cabinet Secretary or the Government gives a portion of the money for academic purposes, the money which is accruing and which is not paid was actually meant for maintaining the students at school. It was basically for food. Therefore, this ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, I am a Member of the Committee on Education, Information and Technology and I sat in this interrogation of the Cabinet Secretary. I think we work as a very good team in that Committee. There is nothing wrong in supporting my Chairperson. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to, first of all, congratulate my colleague, my niece, the new Senator for her maiden speech in the House. We appreciate these Senators. I just want to make a few comments on this Report. The first one is that we congratulate the two committees for the effort they have made in going out to touch base with counties and more particularly with the public. I value, significantly the comments that have been made by the public in this Report. This is one aspect that the Senate has direct contact with the grassroots which ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: the counties. So, I want to congratulate the two committees for the Report they have brought to the House. This Report gives us an opportunity to have a hands-on feel of what is going on in the counties and have an opportunity to learn from our own mistakes and correct some of them in time. Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish these committees had visited more counties than the two that they did because apart from the problems being seen, there could be other new problems arising. Perhaps, they are not found in the two counties that the Report is based ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: county is to have an environment that is conducive and attractive for people to come from outside to invest. A report like this should also highlight on that and perhaps make recommendations on how we can create environments that are key and conducive to investors. The last point that was not captured by this Committee but which is very significant is that of security. The issue of security is intertwined with the development of counties. As we continue to debate the reports that we have, we will go back and address the issue of security considering that there are grey ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity to summarise what my colleagues have been saying. I stand here to support this Motion very strongly and to thank Sen. Elachi for bringing this Adjournment Motion where we can articulate and discuss issues that touch directly on our counties. Before I continue, I would like to send my best wishes and quick recovery message to our colleague, Governor (Prof.) Kivutha Kibwana, who is in hospital. He does not only require the regular medication, but he wants to hear that his MCAs in Makueni are happy and ready to ... view
