Chairperson, I thought you had two. July 27, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Kivuti Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg for your indulgence. We have been working round the clock, burning the midnight oil on eight constitutional issues. As we speak, we finished and signed the other two Mediation Bills around 15 minutes before this House sat. Our Clerks are taking it to...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to ride on that Statement. The same problem is in Trans-Nzoia County. Per week we are burying 10 to 15 people. We are wondering what is happening. Could that investigation also include Trans-Nzoia County?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Chairperson, we will provide the Statement in--- There seems to be more interventions.

Well, you finish your bit. I will still allow more interventions.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will reply in the first week of the after recess.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as they give the Statement, could the Cabinet Secretary also state how many of those deaths are of women and maternity related? Are there also infants dying? We want to know the statistics.

Sen. Kivuti - THAT, Clause 20 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (4) paragraph (a) by deleting the words “a chairman” and substituting therefor the words “a chairperson”. This is obviously to take care of gender issues regarding whoever may be the Chair. It does not have to be...

Sen. KivutiOn a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. Vocabulary keeps changing all the time. We are in a new format of approaching gender issue moving towards “Chairperson” rather than “Chairman.” Yes, the connotation “Chairman” can also mean woman but why should we have doubts about it? Why do...

Sen. Kivuti Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, the Chair means very well. I also know that we dealt with this matter in the Committee on Energy over the weekend. What we are trying to cure is indefinite delay. Here is an investor who is waiting for this contract to be cleared,...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. Just a small clarification. The Chair knows that the Committee has gone through the issues more thoroughly than us, but he owes us a small explanation. Is there any reason New Clause 9A (1) does not read “the process of approval...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I understand why my Chairman is rushing to the other one. We do not have the answer to this one. I have a letter that we wrote to the Ministry. Order, Senator! Since the one who requested the Statement is not here, those are unnecessary details. Let...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me thank the Chair for belatedly bringing this answer which I sought in February this year. At that time, there were a lot of inconsistencies in weather patterns. I have heard the Chairman say that the weather forecast department has been accurate which is not true...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, mine is to give the Statement on the business for next week. On Tuesday next week, there will be a Rules and Business Committee meeting at

Does it mean that the Speaker will not make any comment?
