Moses Otieno Kajwang'

Sen. M. Kajwang Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. One of the charges is failure to comply with the law and I need a clarification. First, the Governor is accused of not remitting statutory dues. When the Governor made his opening remarks he cited that the county had been recognised for...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do so. First, I would like to congratulate the Murang’a County Assembly for taking this bold ---

Hon. Kajwang’ Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a small intervention to make here. I am trying to persuade my Vice-Chairman to look at Clause 11 and if he is willing then propose a further amendment. What they have done is to create the Kenya National Highways Authority, which is...

Hon. Kajwang’ I am just seeking your authority to ask my Vice-Chairman, if he does not disagree completely with this proposal, to move the further amendment.

Hon. Kajwang’ Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the last one.

Hon. Kajwang’ Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I speak for you because you are unable to speak. You are chairing the session. This thing needs to be very clear. I wish the Committee Vice-Chair could hear us here. Fortunately, the Chair of the Committee...

Hon. Kajwang’ Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you as the Speaker and the Chair and all the Committee Members that have laboriously worked on this Bill to reach where we are. I also want to thank my wife for whom I have really worked for today. If I cannot work...

Hon. Kajwang’ Hon. Deputy Speaker, you were not around, but my wife became the symbol of the great women of this country that their husbands must stand for and fight for when their offices are under siege. However, I want to speak on two things here. First, the boards of...

Sen. M. Kajwang Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am one of the culprits and I will rectify that. My interest in this question stands from the fact that the free maternity care was meant to improve maternal mortality in this country. In my county, one of the critical...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, on a point of order. I recall that the Chair had ruled on the Statement No. (d) . The order was that whatever the case, the response ought to have been brought today. I also recall that the Senate Minority Leader informed the...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I absolutely have no objection. I was just following up on the earlier ruling. That would be my ruling. So, Sen. Mositet, please let us put it at that for now. Next Statement. Where is the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes. Do you have the response?

Sen. Kajwang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, unfortunately the response is not ready. We could undertake to present it on the first week when we resume from recess. Sen. Nabwala, is that going to cause any prejudice?

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if KQ was my private business, I would have fired the CEO by now. Unfortunately, it is not. As a follow up to the recommendations of the Select Committee that this House established, there are a lot of initiatives that KQ has taken...

Sen. M. KajwangANot that I did not value the substance of what the Senate Minority Leader was trying to give to the House, only that the debate was taking a little longer yet the point had been hit. I refer you to Standing Order No.55 that governs how such reports...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share the sentiments which have been expressed already. In fact, what I wanted to say has been captured. However, I feel that this raises a fundamental issue. The casual manner in which matters raised in this House are handled by the respective Ministries,...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also condemn the disappearance of the five children and the two who were found dead. The Cabinet Secretary and the PrincipalSecretary are sleeping on the job. They are very active when it comes to chasing people who are demonstrating about IEBC which is a serious matter...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while you were consulting with the “King of Meru” the good professor is misleading the nation by saying that the women of Kenya are forcing matters which are in the Constitution. Is he in order to mislead the nation that these rights are...

Sen. M. Kajwang, who has been misleading you? I do not believe there is anything like what you say you have been recently informed about; young, old and elderly ladies. There are elderly ladies. They are very respectable. Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the older they get, the...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I enjoyed listening to Sen.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it on the same issue, Sen. Sang?

Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I came in when you had already progressed in these discussions. Thank you, for giving the undertaking to do a considered ruling--- I will not do any other ruling. I have made my ruling.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure that the issues that have been raised here will still be part and parcel of the deliberations in this House. You have given us the green light and we shall proceed with the Second Reading on this Bill. However, I am sure that...

Sen. M. Kajwang’ Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join you and the House to welcome the delegation from Egerton University. It could just be a matter of coincidence that the group that came was drawn from only one county. That was not meant to represent some divisions within the University....

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank my colleagues, from the Seconder to the other Senators, who have contributed to this Bill. To Sen. M. Kajwang, there is no magic in getting your Bill signed. In fact, the Bill that I sponsored and was signed; the County Governments...

He was the Registrar of Motor Vehicles before becoming the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NHIF. Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, did he ever attempt to vie for a political seat?

Kajwang education, free shelter and food security as guaranteed in the Constitution. We need to audit the Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) programme.Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I...

Sen. Ong’era.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Bill. Let me join my colleagues from the outset in congratulating Sen. Wangari for bringing up this very important and fairly straightforward Bill. This Bill aims at entrenching devolution right into the counties. As...

I want to assure you that Members of the National Assembly are also doing something. This afternoon, they were debating the County Assembly Powers and Privileges Bill. Therefore, they are also doing their best.

Sen. M. Kajwang On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Could the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay County describe and explain to us what he means by ‘voting machines’? In the Senate, we only have Hon. Senators, unless you have come across that terminology anywhere, can he describe...

Sen. M. KajwangDo we have operators?

Sen. M. Kajwang, you are correct when you say that for the Act to have been amended, it required a two-third. However, this was a Bill that had passed through the Senate and this House can still amend it. There is nothing wrong with the Senator coming up with the...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I thank Sen. Karaba for bringing this amendment Bill. However, the County Government Act, Section 6 (a) which talks about location of county governments says:- “Each of the county governments shall be located in the respective physical locations set out in the Third...

The Senate has the powers to make the amendments or come up with the Bills. Therefore, even if there were no resolutions from the County Assembly in Kerugoya, at least, somebody came up with a Bill in the Senate, in consultation with the county itself. There will not be any...

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

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Could the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay County describe and explain to us what he means by ‘voting machines’? In the Senate, we only have Hon. Senators, unless you have come across that terminology anywhere, can he describe what he means.

Sen. M. Kajwang, what did you mean by the word “voting machines?” Is it the ones which hon. Senators use to vote? Did you refer to somebody? Sen. M. Kajwangwas printed like it was Kerugoya because most of the towns were the former towns and it also included “Kerugoya urban...

Sen. M. Kajwang Okay, I defer. As I said, the Division will not be done without the ruling from the Chair on the subject matter or the issues which were raised by the Seconder and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. (Putting of the question on the Bill deferred) Second reading Sen. M....

that people are trying to position themselves a lot. I am very happy that Sen. Karaba has been very consistent in fighting for the people of Kirinyaga. He has sought statements and Motions that have had something to do with them until some of us have been envious. He has...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, the Senator for Kirinyaga moved the Bill properly in the House and he was seconded properly. Are you doubting? You can only oppose because the Bill has already been moved and seconded. It should be debated now. You can only debate on it and say you do...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know this is a very peculiar Bill. It is not an ordinary Bill because it strictly touches on the life of one county. The only way we can generously contribute is not to say “yes” or “no” but to know whether the procedure was followed....

I am going to allow the Mover of the Bill to reply and since Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo insisted on something the seconder had questioned, we will give out the ruling of that before the Division of the same Bill is done in this House. So, before Division on the Bill,...

Are you cursing the Senate? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, no. I am trying to thank the Senate for allowing me to move this amendment. Pursuant to Standing Order No.54 (3) , I request that you defer putting of the question to another day.

Okay, I defer. As I said, the Division will not be done without the ruling from the Chair on the subject matter or the issues which were raised by the Seconder and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. (Putting of the question on the Bill deferred) Second reading THE TREATY MAKING AND RATIFICATION...

It is called Olodariak Boys Secondary School. Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it sounded different when the Senator for Kajiado County mentioned it. Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the name of the school should not define the school. They say that a rose by any other...

I can also confirm that Sen. Mositet is young both at heart and in spirit. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to recognize this young breed of future leaders. Worth noting to them is that we disagree many times in this House. I am sure...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also wish to welcome the young leaders of tomorrow who are present at the Senate today. I wish them God’s blessing and urge them to work hard. They should read and understand what they are being taught. They should not cram. They may never get...

That is Sen. Sijeny, the sponsor of the famous Reproductive Health Care Bill (Senate Bill No.17 of 2014) that seeks to ensure that our children in secondary schools learn and get the opportunity to know more about their reproductive health. Please, proceed, Sen. Bule.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in recognizing the presence of students and teachers of this school which I cannot pronounce its name. I thank you for coming to learn from this Senate. It is a House of elders. Though there might be youthful leaders, they are also...
