• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: Jambo la nidhamu Bw. Spika. Ni sawa kwa Sen. Muthama kusema “hata” Rendile. Je, Warendile si watu kamili? view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to respond to a question asked by Sen. Khalwale on the presence of Erick Dean Prince, an American mogul and a former Navy officer in the US. The question is whether I was aware of his presence and his activities/transactions in Kenya. 1. The answer is that the Electronic Border Management System indicates that Mr. Erick Dean Prince is currently not within the territory of Kenya. The system further indicates that the person arrived in Kenya on 8th January, 2014 aboard Etihad Airlines Flight No.641 from Abu Dhabi, holding an American passport ... view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, regarding the issue of the Americans declaring that Mr. Prince cannot do business in America that has nothing to do with us in Kenya, because we have never done business with him. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, secondly, the question that has been raised by Sen. Khalwale, regarding who the 49 shareholders are, is very valid. I am prepared to pursue the issue and bring the names to the House in the next two weeks, because I will be travelling out of the country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, regarding the forms filled at the immigration desk, I ... view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Agreed, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am not trying to argue with you, but I think that I have been misquoted. I did not say that they do not fill the forms. I said that the forms that they fill might not have a lot of information. Somebody could fill in the forms and indicate that he is a tourist. But I will ask them to find out and give us the answer as directed. view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we will try to do it. view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is supplementary information on the delay in issuance of birth certificates in Meru County. Mr. Temporary Spekaer, Sir, the Government is planning to decentralize and provide birth registration services as close to the people as possible. As explained in the previous Statement, from the year 2009, the Civil Registration Department worked closely with schools in the school-based registration programme, and was able to issue certificates to the Kenya National Examination Council candidates without them visiting the registration office. In order for this arrangement to work, the department hired temporary casual workers to fast-track office operations ... view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I quite agree with Sen. Kiraitu that there is need really to look into this issue further and see how best we can fast-track the issuance of birth certificates. But we cannot compare marriages with births, because the births are so many compared to marriages. We could have only five or so marriages in a week. But I do agree, as Sen. Ndiema has observed, that the Government can come up with a better method of issuing birth certificates. Even in the issuance of identity cards, the delay is caused because all the forms are filled ... view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think that decentralization can be done without involving a lot of costs. As I suggested, the chiefs could be allowed to register and issue birth certificates. They are always there and have offices. I am going to communicate that suggestion and it will be considered but I cannot give a timeline that it will be done today or tomorrow, since resources are required. view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not able. I think Sen. Billow is contradicting himself. The Anglo Leasing money was paid because of a shortfall in the Budget to cover it and, therefore, the Government does not have money--- view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Okay, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I cannot give a guarantee but I will communicate and see how best this can be addressed. view
