Sen. (Dr.) Zani Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Cancer has become a number one killer. I support this Petition, but specifically to look at the inconsistencies in diagnosis. There are many cases of people who have assumed to have been cured, but when they go to other countries like India,...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to address Mr. Kiprono Rop’s Petition. If you could allow me to just make a few comments. First, I would like to thank this Kenyan who is really thinking about how to make sure that the two-thirds rule is adhered to...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes the buttons are not as effective as the voice. Is it in order to request that you also make a ruling on the two thirds-gender rule and which Committee it is going to be directed to?

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to add my voice in support of this Bill. I would like to remind us all and the Governors who are going to be the main custodians of these funds that they need to relook at the Constitution, specifically the provisions that...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill that seeks to apportion revenue available to the 47 county governments. The amount of money that is available to the counties is still a far cry from what the counties require. A figure of Kshs259 billion out of a budget of Kshs2...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Senator, you cannot make that kind of ambiguous statement. (Laughter) Sen. Murkomen, actually I did not pay attention to that, but in case you attempted to refer to me as “Mr.,” please, correct that, as pointed out by Sen. Zani.

I have lost the point I was going to make. I was challenged to clarify your position, whether you are male or female because it is assumed that you are Madam Speaker. It has not been confirmed but it is assumed. (Laughter)

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice to this important process because this is one of the most important Bills in the Senate. Over time, the pulling and pushing for this Bill needs to come to an end. The proposal that Sen....

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that as we move forward, we still look for ways and means to allocate those funds. Let me end by thanking the mediation process and those who were in the forefront, led by Sen. Kagwe from the Senate.

Sen. (Dr.) Zani On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Standing Order is not put in the negative. It does not say you shall only refer to another Senator as Senator only. It just says you shall refer, but it does not say you shall not refer. There...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani We do not need a Division. The Temporary Chairperson (Sen. Mositet) : That is why the Bars have not been drawn. May 26th, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. (Dr.) Zani, you took a lot of time. If I give you two minutes, let it be two minutes please. We want to dispense with this Motion because of the constitutional deadlines. I can see that we have so many interests. Please note that we have other Orders to...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I think it is never about the number but the level of preparedness of our security officers wherever they are. I know in various places where we wanted to show our might, we have done that very well. We have demonstrated it...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just need an assurance and the progress that has been made in terms of how the future security will be looked into. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, human trafficking has really become a big problem. We have not done enough in Kenya. I thank Sen. Mbura for bringing this Petition to the Floor. I want to add an important aspect that needs to come out as the Petition is being...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It was very effective today when we had the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology. Apart from the Statements that had been sought, more were also put across on the Floor of the House. I think the issue of responses is...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also take this opportunity to honour Prof. Micere Mugo especially from the angle of her being a woman academician. When you are a woman academician, the difficulties one faces become even more difficult and getting to the top becomes more difficult...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I referred to Maseno as the only national school that was there before the new national schools came into place, but I am aware that more national schools have now been added. Even in the other regions that I mentioned in north...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to take this opportunity also to welcome both the delegations from Morocco and Tanzania. Indeed, it is a wonderful opportunity that we could have this visit by a delegation from Morocco; a delegation from Kenya having had a chance to...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Sen. (Dr.) Zani, you are going to the substance. The question before the House in terms of point of order is whether we have a proper report; whether we can debate it; whether we have a Statement as requested and whether we have something to seek clarification...

Sen. (Dr.) Zanithe Standing Orders and as quoted by Sen. Wetangula, when you are seeking a Statement, you expect the answer to come from the CS. There is no harm in the Committee being proactive. But I think it is important for the Committee Chairperson to confirm to this House...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Proceed, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale.
