Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Are you confirming that actually the Senate Deputy Majority Leader is more senior than the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Wetangula of Bungoma County? Order, Sen. Sang! That is neither here nor there. Let us proceed.

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I agree with a lot of comments made by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, he mentioned the Governor for Nandi, Dr. Cleophas Lagat and yet I am not aware if his Committee has summoned him and the Governor has refused to...

Sen. Sang Sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was consulting the Senate Majority Leader. I want to apologise to Sen. Wetangula, the Leader of the Minority. We agreed and gave an undertaking that we were going to respond to this issue in two weeks’ time. It is now one week after...

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While appreciating the gesture that you have just showed to my good friend, Sen. Kipchumba Murkomen and the Senate Minority Leader, the whole of yesterday and Tuesday, we had serious delegations from Nandi County. It is unfortunate that the Chair...

Sen. Sang Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this very important Motion. If county governors will not be accountable and resist the oversight role of the Senate, then devolution will fail. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all of us appreciate the fact that counties have very little resources....

August 7, 2014 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Sangvoting commences. Appreciating your speed so far, we can reduce the voting to half a minute. Are we ready to vote?

Sen. Sangdecided that the headquarters would not be in Kiambu, but in Thika where he comes from. We must legislate to avoid this irrational excessive behaviour by any individual. We are aware of situations where many governors, upon election, may unilaterally decide to move the headquarters to their villages. We...

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not think that the Senate Majority Leader is in order to mislead the House. The sharing that was done was not about the funds that were allocated in 2013/2014 Financial Year. What we shared was for the...

That is very good. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is good information. I thank Sen. Sang because this is what we have been waiting for. The governors will no longer be able July 30, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

congratulate the President, Sen. Sang and the whole Senate for this move. I think with this Act, things will never be the same again. Governors will have to consult Senators whenever they are making any move. I do not think I will have to beg to be given Printed Estimates...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to follow suit following the remarks of Sen. Kajwang that I take note of the Bill on the allocation of funds to the counties. I am saying so because while rightfully we are supposed to agitate and fight for the counties to be given...

Yes; I have the evidence of that also and I am going to submit it to the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (PAIC), because the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Auditor-General are not doing their job. This particular case I am referring to has been referred to...

Shame! Can we really say that devolution is helpful to every part of this country? It is not! The second thing, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is that instead of contracts being advertised – I have just heard Sen. Ongoro talking of people of Nairobi being elite – the people in...
