Sen. Adan

Sen. Adan Order! The Senators who are seated so close to the Chair and consulting loudly; remember you are a disturbance to my ears. I need to listen. If you want to consult loudly, go out or move further from me. Proceed, Sen. Dullo. (Loud consultations)

Order! The Senators who are seated so close to the Chair and consulting loudly; remember you are a disturbance to my ears. I need to listen. If you want to consult loudly, go out or move further from me. Proceed, Sen. Dullo. Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in all...

“What are they doing on the ground?” It will come a time when more of these cases will come out. If the governors are emboldened by the fact that they can get the kind of orders that they want from the courts, it will come a time when people will...

move in as a Committee, the better.Isiolo is not a very big county in terms of even the funding that they receive but it is a county which has been marginalized for long. Unfortunately, because of disagreements between the elected leaders, we have this problem. It is better that this...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and convey my empathy with Sen. Dullo who represents Isiolo County and women in this Senate. I also sympathize and empathize with the entire country. We promulgated the new Constitution in 2010 on the platform that we were going to...

October 2, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, looking at the time and the Members of the Senate who want to contribute, if we allocate 10 minutes to each, that will mean that we spend 100 minutes which we do not have. I have consulted with hon. Senators, as a Whip, and agreed with...

That is legitimate. I order that the time be reduced from 10 minutes to five minutes.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the five minutes. I support this Motion and will begin from where the Senator for Kiambu has left. If we, as a Senate, need help before we resolved these problems, then we need to seek that help first. We have postponed...

National Security and Foreign Relations has come with a Motion that I support fully. This happens many times, all over the world, where legislators go beyond sitting in a Chamber because of the authority of the institution they represent and the office that they hold to resolve problems that confront...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am equally concerned about what is happening in Isiolo, Makueni and many counties. I think there is something terribly wrong. It appears as if someone is encroaching on the mandate of the Senate which is well defined as per the Constitution. You will...

courts.Other Senators should join the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government to go to the ground. This Motion does not tell us the faults that the county assemblies have made and whether they have violated the laws so that we know how to go about it. When somebody violates the law,...

Order, Sen. Mositet Peter

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also contribute to this particular Motion. I believe that all Senators must have been wondering what is really troubling us, because each and every time we do something we know is part of our constitutional mandate, we find...

we now say that the County of Makueni is almost going down. Just the other day, we heard the Committee saying “no, we are not going the way the Governor wants to go” but now you want to sit with them to find out the problem. You wonder; you have...

Order! Your time is up, Sen. Mositet. Proceed, Sen. Hassan Abdirahman Ali.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion. While listening to the adjournment Motion, a number of our colleagues were getting concerned that besides the Committee on Devolved Government, they were wondering why we should adjourn. I think, looking at the standard...

similar problems.My colleagues have very eloquently spoken about the Judiciary and I do not want to go so much into it; but it is important to look at it. I thought the Judiciary was going to help devolution work, but they may destroy it if they go the way they...

Your time is up.

discuss what is going on, so that we can forestall the situation. For most of the counties, there has been a trigger. In Makueni County, for example, there were triggers. We started seeing the disagreements between the MCAs and the Governor. For Machakos County, we also saw what was happening...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am glad that you have given me these few minutes to say something about the Motion. I just came in and did not have the Order Paper with me. I looked at this Motion and did not wonder why it was moved. The Mover of...

two years. What protection have we given to the county governments? What quarrels have we resolved?Have we done anything in terms of offering solutions? The only thing we have done is to carry out impeachments. Is that the way to solve problems of county governments? I think time has come...

Order! Order! Sen. Kariuki, your time is up. Sen. Muthama, you can proceed.

Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to support this Motion because I am one of the Senators who witnessed the impeachment process in my county. Unless you get to be tested within your county, sometimes you may not understand how painful and traumatizing it can turn out to...

in Makueni. Senator Musila and I are being seen within the region as the Senators who can stand and solve the problems in Makueni. The genesis of the problem in Makueni is money. The ceiling that was put by this House and the Controller of Budget has been overshot by...

Order! Order! Sen. Ong’era.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also support this Motion and commend my sister, Sen. Fatuma Dullo. This is a very important Motion and I am happy that the Mover has requested that the Senate directs the relevant Committee, which is the Committee on Devolved Government, to deal with...

under the Constitution. We will not allow rogue judges to continue issuing orders left and right without having due care to our constitutional rights here in this House.It saddens me to see that a man we impeached, Governor Wambora, has actually been reinstated by the court. I am wondering what...

Yes, Sen. Elachi.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and to thank Sen. Adan.

I request that you take two-and- a-half minutes because Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale wants to speak.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House must decide whether it wants to stand, support, defend and protect the interests of county governments or whether it wants to close shop and go home. The reason we are fighting and struggling with this Senate today is because most of the Members have not...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I inquired about the statements that were due this morning from the clerk of our committee. He told me that there were about three statements that were ready. He told me that he was going to give them to the Chairperson to issue them this...

Sen. Adan Can we do it in one week, Mr. Speaker, Sir, if that is okay with, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo.

Sen. Adan Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have the statement. As you clearly said, we had mentioned security agencies last week concerning the same issue. Further to that, the Inspector-General and all Members of Parliament from Turkana County and the Senator himself were in Turkana on Saturday. Clearly, that means...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was murmuring but since you heard me, I can say it loudly. When such meetings are called, it is the duty of the Clerk’s Office to notify all Senators. We never get to know what is going on. You are pre-empting me. That is an...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is the practice of this House that when questions are raised or statements are demanded, the draft of the statement is approved by the Speaker before it is put on the Order Paper. Is Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo in order to say...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.45. Order, Sen. Khalwale. We are still in statements.
