Elachi Beatrice Kadeveresia

Sen. Elachi On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Senators. I also want to remind them of the time when we debated the impeachment Motion of the Deputy Governor of Machakos County. The mace was removed; we came back three times in this House...

Sen. Elachi

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in lauding everyone who has participated today, and more importantly, you, for your landmark rulings that you have made today. All eyes were on the Senate. We have done justice. However, what we have done today, will be put to test...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also add my voice to that of all the other Senators by, first of all, congratulating you for the guidance and the wisdom that you have exhibited today as our leader. I also congratulate other Senators for the courage, wisdom and leadership that they have shown...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Members of the Senate have a critical role in review and approval of Government economic and spending policies

Very well. I direct that you and Sen, Muthama consult right now and agree what needs to be done and then communicate to me right away. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., kindly consult with Sen. Elachi and Sen. Muthama on the same and advise me. Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, you were supposed...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary, Speaker Sir, is Sen. Muthama in order to mislead us by sayingthat the Head of State looked hopeless. The Head of State was addressing his heads of department on site. It was privileged information that we were not supposed to have got. He was bold enough...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in appreciating the visitors from my county which is Kakamega. I know they have faced many challenges. In the report of the Controller of Budget, they were unable to bank all their local revenue. Therefore, queries will be raised. As...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Statement came on 9th August, Sen. Elachi not recognizing them. It is important for us to appreciate Gov. Mvurya for petitioning the Government on this issue.

There is no other issue. Are there any requests? The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget will answer a statement requested by Sen. Kagwe. He is entitled to ask for a statement as a Senator of Nyeri County. [The Speaker (Hon. Ethuro) left the Chair] [The...

Sen. Elachi

Sen. Elachi I think he is in order. On the other hand, you are not in order because it was a Select Committee Report and not a CORD report. You did a good job as a Member of that Committee and you should be proud. You should ensure that connectivity...

Sen. Elachi You can get another two minutes, since you have not finished.

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am seeking clarification from the Chair whether I heard her say that the concerned police officer was interdicted. My question is whether the same police officer has been arrested and charged in a court of law for the same offence. On this particular element...

Sen. Nabwala.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice and register my protest at the casual response we have received from the Chair with regard to this matter. Hon. Members, I am only going to take another three Members that are already listed here. Proceed, Senator.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the manner in which this matter has been handled is very disappointing. The officer who shot the stray bullet was interdicted and the firearm withdrawn. That in itself is an admission of guilt. The Chair does not talk about compensation. This is an innocent girl who has...

Sen. Sang!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am seeking clarification from the Chair whether I heard her say that the concerned police officer was interdicted. My question is whether the same police officer has been arrested and charged in a court of law for the same offence. On this particular element of compensation,...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, much obliged. Standing Order No.33 is very restrictive in terms of debate of this matter. So, I would rather stick to Standing Order No.31 and move it at an appropriate time that the Speaker will provide. Then I will advise that you move it...

Sen. Elachi Since there is no other request, I call upon the Mover to reply. October 4, 2016 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Elachi I defer putting of the question as requested by the Mover. (Putting of the question on the Bill deferred) Next order! (The Temporary Speaker consulted the Clerk-at-the-Table) Order,...

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute in support of this Bill. This Bill concerns the two Houses of Parliament. Whether it is to be amended or not, we are talking about Parliament. Whereas Parliament has been referred to many times as the two...

the National Assembly by asking them questions that are not relevant to their work. That balancing act can even send shockwaves to some of these officers in the field.Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, they might be demoralized if they discover that some of the panelists who are interviewing them have inferior...

This is a good move and the introduction should not be watered down. It is a spirit towards the right direction and it will harmonise the feeling of both Houses. It is something that should go on record for having been introduced in the first Senate of the Second Republic...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to start by congratulating my colleague, Sen. Adan, for introducing this crucial Bill and amendment. Throughout this term, we have suffered from ego and not an issue of the letter of the constitution or the spirit. That is what has necessitated this...

within three days even after rejection, the nominating authority is communicated to so that they can replace. I am happy with the timelines because sometimes we have seen it happen and cause an unnecessary crisis.In Clause 7, the Bill provides for the issue of rejection. If you do not reject...

treated as a second class House of Parliament. We have swallowed that for a long time. However, I hope sense has sunk. We can pass this Bill to unpackage Parliament. The framers of the Constitution were very categorical. They avoided touching on the Senate alone and the National Assembly alone....
