Sen. Bule Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, my concern was on part (b) which talks about training. The essence of passing this Bill is to give the reservists sufficient basic training but if you delete that part, you are defeating the purpose. These reservists are supposed to be trained, given uniform...

Sen. Bule Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a matter of national concern regarding security. Last month, there was recruitment of youth to the police service. It is alleged there was corruption in the recruitment. We reported this matter. However, we do not have a way forward on whether this...

Sen. Bule Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Hayo yote ni matatizo ya hapa na pale. Wengine wamekosa kazi ya kufanya. Ikiwa mimi nimelalia kazi yangu na sikuweza kufika Mpeketoni na Wajir--- Order! Sen. Machage raised a point of order. Can you try and explain what you meant? June 24, 2014 SENATE...

Sen. Bule On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The current speaker says that the Jubilee Government had only one Member. He only counted one person.

Sen. Bule The current Member on the Floor said that he only saw one Jubilee Member, why is he not counting the other Members?

Sen. Bule(Loud consultations) Sen. Bule Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know that we represent counties, and that there exists a committee of 11 people who were supposed to interrogate this Bill on behalf of the others. Problems in our counties are completely varied; they depend on--- The Senator is supposed...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the fundamental functions of the Senate is to safeguard the interests of the counties. In my view, whether we take the Kshs226 billion or the Kshs238 billion, there is a fundamental function of this Senate that we will be fulfilling. First of all, let...

Kshs226 billion. I would be happy if the Senate Majority Leader, in replying would tell us what steps are being made so that we, in Senate, do not rubbish our own last year’s resolution. If we do so, those counties with facilities will not continue to enjoy them and those...

Sen. Bule Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point still goes to Sen. Gideon Moi--- (Laughter) What is it, Sen. Bule? Sen. Bule Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the current speaker is saying that the facilities exist in counties. Which counties is he talking about? Is he talking about his county or...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me clarify that it is in most counties. I appreciate that Sen. Bule comes from a county that has no such facilities. Therefore, if we can transfer some of these facilities to the county governments, then the county governments do not need to budget for...

Senator has indicated that they generated a lot of revenue. Most of our counties have concentrated on the resources transferred to them by the national Government at the expense of generating more revenue at the counties. So, it is important for the governors and the county governments to focus on...

Asante sana, Naibu Spika, kwa kunipatia nafasi hii kuunga mkono Mswada huu ingawa kwa shingo upande. Nasema hivyo kwa sababu pesa hizi Kshs226 bilioni hazikutokana na Seneti hii. Katiba imetupa haki ya kupanga mipangilio ya fedha za kaunti hapa. Takwimu hii tumeletewa na tunaulizwa tuipitishe vile ilivyo bila kuuliza maswali....

pesa zote hizo, Kaunti ya Lamu imetengewa Kshs1.7 billioni---

Sen. Bule I will allow your points of order. However, the point I am making is that as far as I am concerned nobody has shown me that we have more recent audited and approved accounts other than what we have in the Bill pursuant to what Sen. Billow explained...

Sen. Bule Sen. Orengo, maybe you are right in your position, but to me it looks like it is too late in the day because we have gone (Laughter)

Sen. Bule, what part of the procedure do you not understand? Sen. Bule Actually, allow me to speak---

Order, Sen. Bule! Let me tell you this for the last time. I will not stop you for from making a point of order. You have a right to do so. What I will stop you from doing is assuming that you have the right over everybody else, standing and...

Then seek the right to make a point of order. What is your point of order? Sen. Bule Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was touched by the words of my brother Sen. Moi who has been demanding for the Equalisation Fund yet they were leading this nation for over 24...

Order. What is your point of order? Sen. Bule Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is that the Equalisation Fund was meant for counties that have lagged behind like Tana River County, but not a county like Baringo where the leadership came from. They were in leadership for...

Sen. Moi, just proceed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one point that was raised by Sen. Muthama is extremely valid. We are using the accounts of the Financial Year 2009/2010. That is totally wrong. The figures that are giving us the 43 per cent are deceptive. If we use the figures...

counties. We, as the Senate, must push for that.Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I finish I want to dispel what an hon. Senator said here that there are people eating cats in Baringo County. This is a serious matter. It is true there is hunger in that area, but there...

Sen. Bule On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think that my brother, Sen. Murkomen, is better placed actually to know which county has undertaken the right procedure, because he is the Chairman of the Committee on Devolved Government. Actually, we want to know from him which counties...
