On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Most of the issues that I wanted to raise have been clearly elevated by my friend and colleague, Sen. Hassan.

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. It gives me extra ordinary pride to second this Motion. First, before I second the Motion, I want to acknowledge the extra ordinary leadership of Sen. (Prof.) Anyang-Nyong’o, the Senator for Kisumu County. This acknowledgement also goes to the...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My point of order is for the purposes of the HANSARD. When Sen. Murkomen asked Sen. Lesuuda to second, she did not need to bow. At least, for the purposes of the HANSARD she should have said: “I second.”

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We all know that the newly appointed Cabinet Secretaries have not taken office and the old ones are still in office. Is it in order for Sen. Karaba to say that there is no Cabinet Secretary in that Ministry?

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I follow in the steps of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to accolade you for standing your ground and for waiving part of the rights that you have under Article 101 in terms of prior consultations. However, it must be stated that as we execute this Bill,...

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 45 (2) (b) I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the nearly aborted travel of the national soccer team, Harambee Stars, for the return leg of the 2018 International Federation...

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, he is Senator Mutahi Kagwe.

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, he is Senator Mutahi Kagwe. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have known Sen. Kagwe for the last 22 years. It is likely that I could not make a mistake on his name. It is just that I discovered that we do not know Sen. Kagwe’s...

Sen. Hassan Order, Senators! It is now time to interrupt the business of the Senate. The Senate, therefore, stands adjourned until Tuesday, 24th November, 2015, at 2.30 p.m. The Senate rose at 6.30 p.m.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also join to support this Motion for the reason that the issue is important and the findings are awaited. However, the tendency to create Select Committees even in areas where there are specific committees to deal with the matter, is something that this House needs...

So, Senator, are you a Member of the Committee on Devolved Government?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of the Committee on Devolved Government. I feel this responsibility was taken away from us.

So, you feel you are not did work as per the way you should operate?

Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

I now call upon the Mover of the Motion to reply.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank the Members who have supported the Motion and also to respond to one or two issues. One is the issue raised by Sen. Ndiema which I very much appreciate. However, my position away from this particular ad hoc Committee – and...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of the select Committee is what is in the Standing Orders. This Motion is also referring to a select Committee. So, I did not create the word “select” instead of “ad hoc.” It is already in the Motion.

Sen. Ndiema, I would like you to note that there was a real need for that Committee to be formed. The Senator tried to convince this House to provide for some funds to go to the three counties, but he was unable to do so. The only way to try...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I can also just add to the same Statement. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has asked about the Government’s knowledge about trade in charcoal and sugar. In the same report, it is alleged that there has been massive human rights violation by...

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to agree with Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o that we might be engaged in debate because today, my brother, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., would say - as a substantive debate - that we are engaged in an exercise in futility in our quest...
