Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a Statement on the visit by His Excellency Barrack Obama, the President of the United States of America (USA) . Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, pursuant to Standing Order No. 45 (2) (c) requested for a Statement from the Senate Majority Leader on...

Sen. Adan On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for Kisumu in order to say that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget is busy pursuing Al Shabaab?

Sen. Adan Order, hon. Senators! Vice Chairperson, the Member only wanted to know. If you are not ready, you will come back to the House later. We cannot prosecute Committee business on the Floor. Order, let us hear from the Vice Chairperson first. Proceed, Sen. Ndiema. May 26th, 2015 SENATE...

Order, Senators! Sen. Adan, just assume your seat. In a way, I would have allowed the Senate Minority Leader to suffer the consequences of his own actions. However, since the Chair cannot act with favour or fear, I will still discharge my responsibility without fear of favour. First, I confirm...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to address the point raised by Sen. Hassan because you have defended me. I would personally defend myself by saying that when the vote was taken, I was in the “other side”. That is the reason why I did not vote....

Sen. Adan Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution assigns the responsibility of protection of the environment and natural resources to the National Government; ACKNOWLEDGING THAT Section 5 of the Wildlife (Conservation and Management) Act, 2013 mandates the...

Sen. Adan Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to reply. I do not intend to take a lot of time because I know that my sister, Sen. Sijeny, is on her toes. First and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank all the Members...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request the Senator to give us one week to respond. Thursday next week will be good for us.

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I commend the Senator for giving me that response. Unfortunately, the Ministry is running away from answering the questions that were put to them. If one is sent to the ground right now, they will find that the communities are not benefitting from...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, that shows clearly that the Statement was not responded to properly. The communities affected are not at all benefitting from the project. This is a money making venture. Therefore, could the Ministry go back to the drawing board because the people within that area suffer...

Sen. Adan[The Temporary Chairperson (Sen. Murkomen) took the Chair]

Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to report progress; that the Committee of the Whole has considered the Alcoholic Drinks Control (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.5 of 2014) and seeks leave to sit again tomorrow or the next sitting of the Senate. Sen. Elachi seconded. (Question proposed)

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

I am on my feet, what is out of order?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I expected that there would be a chance if someone wants to say something. I requested, but I was not given a chance. April 30, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Adan

Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, my sentiments are similar to the Senator who has just spoken. The way our system runs vis-à-vis business people with drinking places and the police is such that if we insert a clause where it licenses a particular number of people, it is a...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, I want to comment on No. 3 which states; “The County Committee shall not grant a licence for the sale of an alcoholic drink to be consumed on the premises unless the applicant has taken measures to sound-proof the premises.” Mr. Temporary Chairman, the bar owners need...

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I would like to plead with the able Vice-Chair that what we are just about to introduce will be very cumbersome to implement. This is because you will appreciate that the poor bar owner out there will not have a mechanism to...

Sen. Adan - THAT, Clause 33 be amended in the proposed new subsection (1A) –

Sen. AdanMr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I want to ask the Chairperson to reconsider--- Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, when you think about it and weigh with the experience that you have, children from Catholic families, for example--- The Temporary Chairperson (Sen. (Dr.) Machage) : Did you refer to me?...

- THAT clause 28 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph-

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I am just wondering about that kind of an amendment. We are talking small-scale traders and not East African Breweries Limited or Keroche Industries. How will the provision of this amendment be effected? If you want chang’aa to be bottled and packaged expensively, we will not...

Committee may not have considered widely who the people involved in this kind of business are. If you ask the East African Breweries Limited to manufacture bottles, they will do that. But if you ask the villagers in Nyamira who prepare chang’aa to get bottles that cost around Kshs5,000, they...

Sen. Adan I just want to remind you the Bill has been moved, seconded and we even put the Question. Automatically, it means that the Committee of the Whole, must have been disposed of. As long as the Chair has reported, it was seconded and the Question put. Therefore, we...

Sen. Adan Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not reopening what you ruled out. I am merely using this point of order to table the letter lest somebody thinks that I was running away from that responsibility. I now table the letter and confirm that I still stand by my...
