Sen. Musila Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had sought for intervention on a different matter. However, now that you have acknowledged students from Nzeluni Academy from my county, I join you in welcoming them to the Senate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some two weeks ago, if you will recall, the...

Sen. Musila I am much obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Musila Madam Temporary Speaker, I also stand to join fellow Senators in supporting this important Motion, and also in the same vein, congratulate my friend, Sen. Leshore for bringing this matter to us once again. It is 31 years ago since the outbreak of HIV/AIDS scourge in this country....

Sen. Musila Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter was canvassed last week. I join my colleagues in commending Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. However, I have been listening very keenly to hear him tell us the whereabouts of the Auditor-General’s Report for Kitui County. For the last two-and-a-half years, I have never seen...

Sen. Musila On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Vice-Chair has just started reading a Statement, purportedly for me, but I have no copy. Would it not be in order for her to give me a copy, so that I will be in a position to interrogate whatever...

Sen. Musila Next Order.

Very well. I think your concern has been noted by the Vice Chair of the Committee. In view of her answer, there is nothing more we can do. Tuesday is not too far. I hope the same will be executed effectively on Tuesday. Next Order! Hold on, Sen. Ong'era, you...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Sometime in May, I sought a statement with regard to the hazards caused by the Nairobi Dam. This answer was supposed to be submitted to the House by 20th May, July 1st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Musila Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to remind the Chair that in the last financial year, only about five audit reports for five counties were produced which June 30th, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Musila Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just got concerned when Sen. Sang talked about the IEBC and the boundaries. These are serious issues concerning boundaries of counties. I do not think that the IEBC has anything to do with these boundaries. These are not electoral boundaries but county boundaries,...

Sen. Musila On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Musila Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chairman and the Ministry have done very well because they have paid after the question has been asked but he went ahead to say that each university has its own rules. The question is; lecturers from institutions of higher learning which should set...

Sen. Musila Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I confirm that I had a chat with the distinguished Senator, and she promised that she would bring the answer tomorrow in the afternoon. I therefore oblige.

Sen. Musila Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2015. We have seen this Senate go through mediation for this Bill to come. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is important for the county governments to understand that while the Senate...

Order, Senator! I am not Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Musila I apologise for that, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be looking at you so that I do not make the same mistake. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have emphasised the issue of accountability. I have asked my fellow Senators...

Order, Sen. Orengo! You are completely out of order. (Laughter) Sen. Musila On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is clear under our rules of debate that a Senator must be responsible for the factuality of whatever they state during debate. She has told us, and I...

Sen. Musila Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I read the answer to this Statement, I could not believe that this was Prof. Kaimenyi’s signature. This is because the answers given to the issues raised here were obviously given by a person who does not even understand issues. The person says that...

Sen. Musila Mr. Speaker, Sir, the clarification that I am seeking is: Will the Government take the matter seriously to defeat terrorism or will it succumb to the threats and close down institutions?

Sen. MusilaMay 20th 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Musila Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the third time I am standing up on a point of order on a matter that I have raised. Whenever it reaches, I am told it will be issued next week. You will recall that last Tuesday, on a matter that I had...

Sen. Musila Mr. Speaker, Sir, much obliged.

Sen. Musila Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you and the House for giving me the day. On 19th February, 2015, I raised the issue of Cash Transfer Programme for the old citizens of this Republic. It took a lot of time before I got the response from the Ministry of...

Sen. Musila Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I sympathize with the Chairperson because he has been working on that matter since February. Obviously, it cannot go further. We are looking forward to this because recently the Government announced an additional Kshs20 billion to this fund. But unless matters are put...

Sen. Musila Sen. Musila, could you elaborate your claim? Is that a serious claim? May 13, 2015 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Musila Hon. Senator, thank you for that information. The Committee on Devolved Governments should investigate that matter on security and harassment and report back to this House. Interrogate that matter...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Did you hear what my friend, Commissioner Musila, attributed to this House? He said that one of our Senators was embarrassed in Kiambu by a Governor. As a result of that, he says that he fears to be embarrassed elsewhere. Could he...

Sen. Musila, could you elaborate your claim? Is that a serious claim? Sen. Musila Madam Temporary Speaker, it is very easy to substantiate because the person who made that statement is none other than Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. He said that he was told by the Governor for Kiambu that he...

Hon. Senator, thank you for that information. The Committee on Devolved Governments should investigate that matter on security and harassment and report back to this House. Interrogate that matter on harassment. We should have the full details of what happened between the Governor of Kiambu and the Senator for Kiambu....

Madam Temporary Speaker, give me seven days.

Very well. You are the Chairman of the Committee on Devolved Governments. This matter rests squarely in your committee.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. As far as I know, the issue concerning Kiambu County is a security matter. Somebody was threatened. We would be happy to deal with matters of fostering good relations between the Governor and the Senator. However, when it moves to the stage...
