Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request two weeks to respond to that Statement.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is asking for something that is beyond my authority, and I believe that of the relevant authority as well. I request him to give us more time to investigate this matter.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already shared the Statement with him, so I will go direct to the response. I wish to state that on 6th November, 2016 at about 2.30 p.m., Gov. Isaac Rutto stormed a football match at Silibwet Football pitch while accompanied by his supporters...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have tried to answer the four questions asked by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo from the way that they were framed. He has a copy of the response. I have also answered the additional questions that were asked by other Senators. So, it is very clear...

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have stated and reported the statement as I was given by the relevant authority which is the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. According to them, that is what clearly transpired in Bomet at that time. With regard to...

Sen. Adan On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sang. Sen. AdanYou do not have to inform him. You just stand because I have already given you the mandate to talk. Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if Sen. Sang listened to my answer, I have reported that investigations were carried out...

Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will have to inform the relevant Ministry. Once I have the Statement ready before we resume, I can share it with the relevant Senators who sought further clarifications on the statement.

Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have something that was asked by Sen. (Prof.) Lesan. I do not know whether it is answering Statement 2 (b) . However, I have something for Sen. (Prof.) Lesan.

Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have shared with Sen. (Prof.) Lesan. I will therefore go directly to the answers. He asked about five questions. I wish to state as follows:- On 7th April, 2016, at 8.00 a.m., police officers on patrol at the Moi University, Bomet Campus construction...

Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, how long the case will take is something that is beyond our control. We will inform the relevant authorities to fast track the process and make sure the matter is concluded. How we can help the Governor to stop behaving the way he is...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have it. The Temporary Speaker (

Sen. Adan Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I mean the substantive Speaker. Very well, that is for records. I order that in the answer that will be read to this House, a copy of the HANSARD that ordered for Sen. Kivuti to desist from Chairing this Committee as an interested...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry I have just come in. However, I request to be given time until we come back after recess because we only have one week. I am foreseeing that we might not get the answer in the next coming week. I thank you.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will try my best.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I promised to issue the Statement today but unfortunately, I do not have the answer. So, I request Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo to give us more time. Hopefully, we will issue it before we go on recess.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 22nd September, 2016, Mr. Hillary Serende, an assistant chief in Shaviringa Location, Nandi County, informed the Cheptulu Police Patrol Base that a gang of criminals who were riding in a motorcycle, were terrorizing residents at---

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have the statement. I request Sen. Muthama to give us more time. (Sen. Haji entered the Chamber)

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe Sen. Sang has gotten a copy of the missing pages. On 22nd September 2016, Mr. Hilary Serende, an Assistant Chief in Shaviringa Location, Nandi County, informed Cheptulu Police Patrol Base that a gang of criminals who were riding in a motorcycle were terrorizing...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, consequently, officers from Serem Police Station---

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that clarification can come later since I am just reading the statement as I was given. I will clarify that later.

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Consequently, officers from Serem Police Station visited the scene and confirmed that about 200 metres from the scene of shooting, Derick Munyori and his wife Sheila Muhonja had been attacked by men who escaped on a motorcycle. Mr. Derick sustained panga cuts and...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I understand the frustrations of Members of Parliament and members of the public. Let me confirm to the House that this statement was prepared on 31st October, 2016. I am sure there must have been a lot of development after that, which is not in...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, the letter from the Ministry is requesting for two weeks. However, I have promised Sen. Muthama that I will issue the Statement before we go on recess. On what basis are they asking for two weeks? I am sure when the Statement was sought, they...

Sen. Adanspecific question as asked by the Senator:To answer the first question as stated in the introductory remarks, in 2011, the Government wrote to the OGP’s Steering Committee Commission-Chairs expressing interest to join partnership. In line with OGP recommendations, and best practice for the development of a dialogue forum for...

Order, Vice-Chairperson! Summarise. I suppose the Member has a copy. Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree you with you because I have shared the statement with the Member.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Committee for that answer. Yes, indeed, I had gone through it and most of the issues have been articulated. At least, the potholes that had been established had been indicated in that report.

Mr. Speaker, Sir,on a point of order. I heard the lengthy submission by the Vice-Chairperson of this Committee regarding the OGP. What she said really is contradictory to what we see in reality in this country. She talked of accountability. The Government’s commitment to accountability, transparency, disclosure and ethical practice;...

to write home about on the officers.

Order, Sen. Billow! There is anything hardly to debate because this is Statement Hour. Seek your specific clarification.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will lay ground now that you have insisted. I want the Vice-Chairperson to tell this House, in view of the many cases of corruption and the abuse of office that the Government’s top leadership as admitted to itself, could the Vice-Chairperson reconcile that commitment to OGP...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When a Statement is read in the House, it is for the Members of the House to be satisfied and not only for the person who sought. So, as far as I am concerned with regard to the purported commitment by the...

Order, Members! Indeed, Vice-Chairperson, the Senator for Mandera is absolutely correct. You must respond to the question and that was specific. Compare the practice and the theory. Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to my understanding, I have actually explained in the statement what is in practice as a Government....

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Vice-Chairperson is not taking this House seriously. You cannot tell the House that that is all I have and that is the end of the story. She must satisfy the House on the question that I raised.

Is that what you said, Vice-Chairperson? Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not say that. I have said in the statement I have read, the commitment the Government has on OGP. That is my explanation.

Order, Members! If Sen. Billow may be listened to, the Vice-Chairperson raised issues of processes. So, unless you have a specific thing, I am afraid she has answered you satisfactorily. MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AMENDMENT OF THE STATUTE LAW (MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS) BILL (SENATE BILL NO.6 OF 2014) November 22,...

Some of them have similar answers. You can always combine. Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless I go to the last one because I believe Sen. Wetangula has a copy of the Statement.

AdanMr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senate Minority Leader for raising this issue in the Senate and seeking a Statement from the Government on the issue of South Sudan.The three East African countries; Tanzania, Uganda and South Sudan are extremely important to the security...

Sen. Adan I think Statement (a) must now be ready. Where is Sen. Ndiema, the Vice Chairperson?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenya has being doing a lot in diplomatic circles using her finances to try and make peace in South Sudan. The Senate Minority Leader said that when Ugandans who are in South Sudan were threatened, President Museveni had to send the Uganda Defence Forces to go and...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

What is it Sen. Bule?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Vice Chair has said that the people who are suffering at our gate have homes. If they have homes, what are they doing there? This issue is very serious and it endangers us. Sen. Wetangula said that it endangers our lives and that is true. Those...

Order, Sen. Bule. What is your point of order?

My point of order is that the Vice Chair is cheating because she is not telling us the truth.

Order, Sen. Bule. “Cheating” is un-parliamentary. Proceed, Vice Chair. Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have raised concern about insecurity but unfortunately they cannot be forced out of this place because that will also amount to violation of their rights. The Ministry is doing something and I kindly request Members...

Hon. Members, there is no Statement before us and so, I really do not know what you are interrogating. I allowed a lot of time for the concerns to be raised the moment the Senate Minority Leader raised the Statement. The concerns have been raised and therefore, let us wait...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Vice- Chairperson of the Committee for submitting this particular response. However, I want to be on record as having said that it is unfortunate that it had to take the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination a whole...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very disheartening to me, on behalf of the parents whose children got lost in Kakamega, for the Vice-Chairperson to tell us that the Government is not aware. Before I raised this matter, I was aware that for every disappearance, the parents went to...
