Sen. Lesuuda Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to agree with my colleagues. When I saw our names in the media, I thought it was a stale story because we are the same Members who sat in the other Committee. In that Committee, we recommended that other Members be...

Sen. Lesuuda Hurray to women! Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for bringing this Motion from IPU. It is great to know that they are supporting our initiative to achieve the two-thirds gender rule which has been more theoretical than practical over time. We know that she comes from the socio-cultural...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you noticed, Sen. Wamatangi was purporting to protest. He was actually smiling broadly in appreciation of what I said. (Laughter) November 10, 2015 SENATEDEBATES

Very well. I wonder who the weak man in that context is but all the same, you can keep to your thinking.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. I also rise to support this Bill bringing into perspective what happened a few weeks ago when our children started examinations. When we look at the situation now, we ask ourselves as a House of Senate, if indeed, the children who a have just...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Bill and I thank Sen. Musila. In the Tenth Parliament, he tirelessly promoted this and he talked about it so much. It is very sad that even after we passed it in the Tenth Parliament, this has not been implemented. This...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I rise to support the amendments to the Act and congratulate Sen. Musila. He has been with the Committee on Education, both when I chaired the Committee and now as a Member. I have witnessed his participation when we invited stakeholders, officials from...

Sen. Lesuuda Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I know speaking after Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, a medical practitioner, is not very easy. First, I would like to commend Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o for bringing this very important Motion before this House. I also congratulate Sen. Harold Kipchumba who was one of...

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

Sen. Lesuuda Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to inform my sister that he does not need to get the Order of Golden Warrior; there are other higher commendations. We will be looking to see whether he will be among those who will be commended on 12th December.

Sen. Lesuuda Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I withdraw that word and state that the answer that has been given does not meet the threshold. October 1st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Lesuuda I wish to give a short Communication and not because Sen. Karaba intervened. I wish to recognize the presence of pupils and teachers from Chepkitony Primary School in Elgeyo-Marakwet, seated in the Public Gallery, who are visiting the Senate today. As you all know, the tradition of receiving...

Hon. Senators, the Bills under Order Nos.8 and 9 were up for Division yesterday. The Division Bell was rung but we did not make a threshold for voting. Quite obviously, today, we are nowhere near the threshold. So, I will defer Order Nos.8 and 9. THE PETITION TO COUNTY ASSEMBLIES...

Sen. Lesuuda On a point of Order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senator, on behalf of the Chairperson, is giving us the Statement and she has chosen to pick some of the items and not others. I think we want to hear the others because we also have queries.

Sen. Lesuuda Thank you, Senator. There are a lot of requests on this issue and I will be requesting that you try to be as brief as possible in interventions or while seeking a clarification.

Sen. Lesuuda Do you have an issue to raise? Talk to me, I cannot hear you.

Sen. Lesuuda Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Vice Chair of the Committee, I have listened carefully to the issues that have been raised by hon. Senators. I must say that they are grave issues of national importance. I must also say that they cut across the political divide, all...

Sen. Lesuuda Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given the weight of this matter and the interest that it has generated, it is clear that we cannot exhaust the issues at hand through a Statement. Therefore, I will take the responsibility of drafting the said Motion expeditiously and we will give notice...
