Sen. Sang(Applause) July 16, 2014 SENATE DEBATES Sen. SangThat is the end of that matter, hon. Senators. We are still on statements. Yesterday we terminated the interrogation of the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources. So, let me now allow Sen. Zipporah Kittony to proceed with the...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to join in thanking the Deputy President and this Senate for this compassionate step. I want to agree that in order for this situation not to arise in future, the Government should just go ahead and waive all the fees for examinations. Also in...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate Sen. Musila and the Deputy President for clarifying this matter. Albeit, this matter had come to this House and we discussed it. In the Deputy President’s directive, the key word that delivered the required message was that teachers should ask the Government while addressing the...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to compliment Sen. Musila for following such an important matter so passionately. Mine is to try and give a way forward. First, looking at the way our country is moving in terms of growth of the economy where it is registering 6 per cent growth...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank Sen. Musila for championing this very grave matter. I want to say from the outset that the victims are generally very poor and very needy students particularly girls. I also want to say that it is very disturbing to note that there...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to add my voice and thank Sen. Musila for following up this matter. As a way forward, we have a lot of funds in this country meant for needy students. There are funds from the Ministry of Education, the bursaries from the Constituencies Development...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to thank Sen. Musila for following up on this matter of the release of school certificates. By holding back certificates, we are denying our children the opportunity to move forward and get jobs or to go for higher education. Therefore, I want to thank the...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for standing with me when I had a challenge. Three years ago, the then Prime Minister announced that people in the North Rift will not pay fees due to drought. Due to this, students refused...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank Sen. Musila and the Deputy President for coming out to support the issue that is of concern to all parents and learners. I want to request that the directive from the Deputy President...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Much as I would like to support this announcement by the Deputy President, it is also important to know why this July 16, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

would like to find out what happened. The moment that money is not paid, some schools will certainly grind to a halt. I support.

Bw. Spika, nakushukuru kwa kunipa fursa hii. Ningependa kumpongeza Naibu Rais wetu na pia Sen. Musila kwa kuleta Hoja hii. Nafikiri Wakenya wengi wamepata matatizo kwa kukosa kupata vyeti vyao vya shule kwa sababu vyeti hivyo vimetiwa “mbaroni” na waalimu. Hii ni fursa muhimu sana kwa wanafunzi waliokosa vyeti vyao...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I have heard many Senators who have spoken before me trying to say that they are not here to support or oppose this Bill. I just want to ventilate on the proposed amendment. I will take a similar line, but in...

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

What is it, Sen. Sang? Sen. Sang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Hassan continues to use the word “coalition” with political parties as if they mean the same thing. We are talking about the Political Parties Act, he is talking about the CORD Coalition and what they stand for. That...

I think you are quoting him out of context. You cannot take one verse of the Bible which says “take my cross and follow me” and you go curving wood to carry it. You have to look at the whole speech in context. Maybe you did not listen to the...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Sang in order to point out that Sen. Hassan is quoting a coalition---

Order. I have already ruled on that. You are out of order.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just to respond to Sen. Sang, the coalition is not just a coalition of individuals but a coalition of parties which stand for something. There are certain definitive reasons or interests that got URP amalgamate itself into a coalition with the TNA; whether that is assumed...

Sen. Sang, do you still have another point of order? Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I did not want to interrupt the Senator but I want to point out that the Senator gave an elaborate and fairly generous description of the ideals of his...

You know, Sen. Sang, whereas I accept you are learning some of these procedures, you are completely out of order to do it that way. You do not express your opinion through a point of order.

I think your point is noted. I must also commend the fact that you gave a very powerful presentation. I was trying to also agree with the point that Sen. Sang raised because that was one of my points that parties must reflect the national character. It is difficult when...

that have a national outlook but compete on the strength of ideas.Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, future amendments must compel parties to demonstrate what kind of value system or ideals that they represent in politics. The ideals of value system that we represent in politics are not too many. There are...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate approves the Report of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2013) laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 1st April, July 9, 2014 SENATE DEBATES...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, the basis of this Bill is to provide a platform for dialogue at the county level. The challenge that we have had before is where you have dialogue in an uncoordinated manner; where myself and my governor have had to make consultations over funerals and...

Sen. Sang(Applause)(Applause) Sen. Wangari. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this mediated report and the Bill because you will remember that when it was first moved on this Floor, I was one of the strongest proponents of the Bill. But as it is, it leaves out the...

Sen. Sang We are in agreement but I want to mention that the line was equally thin when the other contributors were making their points. I would like to clarify that the Members of the County Assembly did their job. The Constitution talks about threshold. However, threshold is in the...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am getting a little bit concerned regarding what was raised, earlier by Sen. Khalwale. When we start talking about the Report and what the MCAs are doing, are we not getting into the Report?

Sen. Sang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we realized that it was the County Assembly of Kericho which was coming before us, those of us who know Kericho very well said; that cannot be Kericho. Kericho is very unique. I refer to Kericho as the county of one colour; the...
