Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, it would be imperative to suggest that the answer that I have given was so little that the supplementary questions are covered in the answer. I stated that some teachers who were found guilty of offences in the TSC disciplinary committee were punished. With regard...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, they are both missing.

Sen. Elachi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious matter. The hon. Members have gone to benchmark and, therefore, I think it is time the CS himself comes and explains some of these things because of the trend that we have faced---

Sen. Elachi Tuesday, next week, Sir.

Sen. Elachi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Halima, Senator. July 21st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Elachi What is your point of order, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo?

Sen. Elachi Who do you want to inform?

Sen. Elachi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not. What I am talking about is not what happened the other day. I am referring to the serious crisis the Senator and her colleagues of the Committee on Education faced when they went there to try to reconcile them.

Sen. Elachi It is too late now. We have moved on. Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo sat down long ago. Proceed, Sen. Elachi.

Sen. ElachiJuly 21st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Elachi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was visiting Sen. Halima when I heard the misleading---

Sen. Elachi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sen. Halima. I was consulting her over that Bill only to hear some misleading information. My card is on the other side. (Loud consultations)

Order! What is the point of order, Sen. Karaba? I must remind you, like I have done many times, that you must always carry your card when you crisscross the House. When you are making a point of order, you are supposed to make an intervention; not raise your hand.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was visiting Sen. Halima when I heard the misleading---

You are visiting who?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sen. Halima. I was consulting her over that Bill only to hear some misleading information. My card is on the other side.

Proceed, Sen. Karaba.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have two universities.

Are you giving information or a point of order.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, I am on a point of order; whether it is proper for somebody to mislead this House that University of Eldoret is the same as Moi University. They are not. We have University of Eldoret campus and Moi University, Eldoret. It is important to note that. I...

Sen. Billow, what is your point of order. Sen. Karaba, was he using your card? Sen. Elachi, you have been corrected twice. Sen. Elachi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have understood.

It is not a question of understanding. You either correct the position or assert that the information that he has given you is wrong. There are only those two options. July 21st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Elachi Mr. Deputy Speaker, it is correct, but we know very well that the...

Order, Sen. Elachi! You are getting into a very dangerous ground now. It is like saying that the University of Nairobi was the mother of all universities. Every university with a charter is a university in its own right. Therefore, you must give it its actual distinction. It is not...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I rise to support the amendments by Sen. Mohamud. Education is a guaranteed right. Part of guaranteeing that right to education is to ensure accessibility and affordability of quality education to all Kenyans. Part of marginalization in this country was largely...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Mover of this Bill, Sen. Halima. I am beneficiary of education myself. Some of us would not have made it to this House were it not for the chance to go to school. Sen. Halima, having conquered all the odds from...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While contributing, Sen. Wangari said in her Statement that she wants to “second” the Bill. She is not seconding, but supporting for the record purposes.

Sen. Wangari, you actually said, you want to second. Could you make the correction for the HANSARD purposes? July 21st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not remember saying “second”. For the record, I am not seconding, but supporting this Bill that has been moved by Sen. Halima. I hope that this House will see it fit to be passed into law.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is very exciting to see what two years can do to a young Senator. When I first met my young daughter, Sen. Mohamud, the best we could exchange during debate were her stories of how girls coming from her place ---

Order, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale! Nobody is older than the other in this Senate. Let us start from that point. You either put it differently, but you cannot talk about what two years can do to a Senator. All of us have been here for two years.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I did not mean age of being in this House, but chronological age. At that time, it was very exciting when I would talk with her and she could tell me how a girl coming from Wajir was coming to Nairobi looking for a...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to, first, presume that I am a messenger of the President of Kenya? Secondly, is the Senator aware that there is an established mode of communication in this country and if he has...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope you are holding my time.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you only have two minutes. I will hold your time.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry if I sounded sarcastic in any way, but that is what I meant. However, now that the good Senator has invited me on camera---

Order, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale! You are completely out of order. Sen. Wamatangi has told you that you cannot possibly use him as a messenger. Since he is your colleague Senator, I rule that you are completely out of order. Could you proceed with the two minutes that I have allowed...

Sen. Elachi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to give notice of the following Motion. July 16th, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Elachi Hon. Senators, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.45, I will present the business of the Senate for the coming week. The Rules and Business Committee (RBC) will meet on Tuesday, 21st July, 2015 at 12 noon to schedule business of the Senate for the week. Subject...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with that and I know that we normally alert them. I believe also that the Secretariat normally alerts the Member. To add on that, could we have a way to alert the Senator to dispose of the statement if it comes to the...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an issue which will completely change the lives of these young children. I would want the Committee to tell the House whether they are able to do so immediately and be in Busia because health has been devolved so that we can know...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank the delegation headed by Betty Amongi who is also the Chairperson of the Uganda Women’s Parliamentary Association (UWOPA) in Uganda. On behalf of the women of Kenya, we have always appreciated all the capacity building programmes we have received across countries in...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 30 (3) (b) , the Senate resolves to meet on Wednesday, 22nd July, and Wednesday 29th July, 2015 from 9.00 a.m to 12.30 p.m. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a straightforward Motion. I...

Sen. Elachi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank all Senators, especially chairpersons of Committees. While we appreciate that we have committees going on, we also have reports that are supposed to be tabled in this House coming from those committees. Therefore, I urge chairpersons to ensure that their reports...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. If you remember well before we went for the first recess, Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki requested this House to pass a Motion on the same issue. I know at that time Members did not want to July 16th,...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Chairman and say that the reason why we have petitions coming to this House is because of lack of such documents. I hope those reports will help us unlock the unresolved cases that have been raised in the various...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, WHEREAS the National Assembly by a Resolution established the Catering Committee and the Catering Fund on 14th March in 1967 to manage facilities of the bar and the dining rooms as well as assets and...

Sen. Elachi On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to Sen. Muthama, we are trying to look at a solution on how we shall get untrained teachers to ensure that normalcy returns in educational institutions in the north eastern part of Kenya. Is he...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he is talking about land issues and the presidency and yet we are talking about very serious issues. Today, Kenyans may listen to him and forget what we are really trying to achieve. We are dealing with a specific issue. Is he in order...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank the Mover of the Motion. This is a Motion that seeks to unlock the challenges that we are facing in the education sector in the north eastern part of Kenya. It is a Motion that is very emotional and...

Sen. Elachi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, now that I should not talk about him, let me talk about the KNUT in general. The KNUT came out very well in both the electronic and print media. Having said that, today we are looking at finding a solution. I urge fellow brothers...
