Sen. (Dr.) Kutiwe can give to county governments. Particularly, as we progress and entrench devolution, we must ask ourselves:- Should we not allow some element of security to be devolved to the county governments? The reason is that somebody in Nairobi is managing the situation in Mandera, Pokot and other...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the speech that was made as a point of order. (Laughter) February 12, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Level. This is wrong whether or not we like to address it. Whether we want to bury our heads in the ground like the proverbial ostriches, it is wrong. You cannot put a very informed and smart governor and then allow anybody of any qualification from anywhere to oversight him....

On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Do you wish to be informed?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very well persuaded because I have no time.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, please hold the time for him. I want to inform my colleague here that it is not only a blanket thing where you just need any certificate to be a Member of county Assembly (MCA) . There are some counties in this country with MCAs who...

I am very well informed Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, which basically tells that some counties elected MCAs in a manner that is against the law. This is because they are supposed to have at least – as far as I know – an O Level certificate and a post O...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House today, Tuesday, 2nd December, 2014:- The Report of the Standing Committee on Health on the Level of Preparedness of the Busia and Malaba Border Points in response to the global...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have about four statements to make but none of the people who sought those questions are present in the House. I wonder whether I should wait.

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti I rule you out of order. The issue of Isiolo County has been mentioned by Sen. Hargura.

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Yes. Just to seek your guidance, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, because I have a statement to make. Not an answer to a statement sought but --- What does that mean? Do you want to request for a statement?

Sen. (Dr.) KutiKenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to have the drugs removed from the cold room and subsequently destroyed.Under the East African Community Custom Management Act, 2004 Sub-section 34(1), cargo shall be entered within 21 days after the commencement of discharge. Article 34(4) states that where goods remain unattended during the...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the answer but there is a sense when we ask for a statement on a matter of public interest, we expect our committees to aggressively interrogate the relevant Ministries from the perspective of the public whom we represent in this House....

Let us listen to one or two interventions before the Chair responds.

Sen. (Dr.) KutiIt is only Kshs56,770.

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir--- Sorry, let me make my comment as Chair. I also have a right to lament and project the face of this Senate on the disapproval of that behaviour; the callousness, the incompetence, non-patriotic status of some of the workers at the port for...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti I want to read this one more time:- In the light of the goods, they are arrived on 21st January, 2014 were transferred to the customs warehouse on 7th April, 2014 which was 55 days after discharge of the aircraft by Swiss Port Cargo Service Centre because...

Yes, because he was required to raise Kshs56,770. I think we heard that loud and clear, and the Chairman said “only”. That is a subjective term. I am not trying to reprimand you because you are reporting on what the Cabinet Secretary gave you but we have to call a...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. For the sake of clarity, in accordance with our Standing Orders, a Senator can stand and make a statement on a matter irrespective of whether somebody has gone out to ask a question or not. I was just...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Martha Wangari had sought a Statement on the destruction of insulin meant for children with diabetes. First, I would like to begin by apologizing that this answer has taken so long because it had to go from one Ministry to another. Initially,...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter was discussed last Thursday. You had ruled that it be brought today. Just before the House began, I met the Senator and asked her to get the answer from the Journals Office. She is fully aware that I am answering this...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter was a big issue in this House. It is the property of the House. We have been put under a lot of pressure to get this reply. It is unfortunate that on the day that we are ready to deliver the...

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this morning, we had a Committee meeting and we reviewed the matter. The answer from the Cabinet Secretary is not with us up to now. We have sent reminders but we still do not have it.

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti I have sent a clerk with a letter today. We reviewed that matter in our Committee meeting and we sent another reminder. I am sure we will follow it up. The Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Wetangula) : On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When...
