Mohammed Maalim Mahamud

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Senator for Taita Taveta for bringing this Petition. We must acknowledge the fact that Taita Taveta is endowed with a lot of ranches. Not many parts of this country have those ranches. Many years back, the Government policy was...

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Madam Temporary Speaker, it is surprising and scandalous to hear that the runway length of Isiolo Airport is 1.5 kilometres. This is because an airport runway should not be less than 1.8 kilometres, even for the airstrips. This Committee should go deep in investigating this issue to...

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Senators. We do not have a standing area in this House. Could you resume your seats? (Sen. Kang’ata and Sen. Malalah resumed their seats)

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud I hope that rests the case for Sen. Malalah?

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. Madam Temporary Speaker, we are already in the amendment form. Once the green light is given, we can publish it from next week.

Let us give you two weeks so that we are safe. Are we okay with that? Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Thank you. Therefore, can we have the Mover make his final statement?

Just a moment, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Order. There is no super Senator in this House.

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Mr. Speaker, Sir, this was also meant to deal with committee sitting allowances – which were actually not taken into account by the CRA – to be based on 12 months and not 10.5 months, as already learnt. Therefore, this matter was exclusively dealt with during the...

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget in order to purport to reply to a Statement that has just been given? It is very clear that what the Senator is asking for is not about the allocation but...

I cannot see anybody on their feet. What is it Sen. Sakaja?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget in order to purport to reply to a Statement that has just been given? It is very clear that what the Senator is asking for is not about the allocation but the implementation status....

Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Chair to dismiss the issue just because he knows he passed the budget, yet the Statement is clearly asking about the implementation status?

Very well Sen. Sakaja---

Mr.Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair should move beyond the theory, go to the ground to ask county assemblies and make sure that the budget is followed.

Very well, you have made your point and you have declared interest. What is it Sen. M. Kajwang‟?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been through this, where a Statement is requested and a Chairman responds immediately. We have said that if it is possible for that to happen, then it will be very efficient; but it should not compromise quality and content. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to...

Very well, Sen. Kajwang‟. Order, Senators! Chairperson, you have been asked whether you want to give this answer now on the spot or whether you want more time. Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will make it short. Your direction is important. In terms of budget implementation, we...

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud: Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied.

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the County Ward Development Fund Bill. Allow me to explain.

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Order! Sen. Sakaja Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On top of bringing statements, I take individual Senators to different agencies concerned. Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Zani to impute improper motive that it is not a pleasurable experience for me to bring responses to the House...

There was a substantive ruling on this matter. When you change a law, it replaces an old one and the new one takes its place, unless it is saved in transitional clauses. What is it, Sen. (Dr.) Zani?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Sakaja in order to refer to the fact that some of the statements might have been dropped as a result of the changes that have been made as a relief? It should be a pleasure for the Chairperson of...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know where that is coming from but if you heard what I said, when I said that it is a relief, you know for sure from your Chair, that I am one of the best performing Chairpersons who...

Order! Sen. Sakaja Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On top of bringing statements, I take individual Senators to different agencies concerned. Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Zani to impute improper motive that it is not a pleasurable experience for me to bring responses to the House while I really...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this where I now feel the pressure of space---

You cannot move the microphone! (Loud consultations)

Order, Sen. Murkomen. That is a fixed asset.

It is immovable!

Proceed, Sen. Murkomen.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Petroleum Bill (National Assembly Bills No.48 of 2017) be read a Second time. From the onset, I know this is a very important Bill. I am expected to take at least one hour to prosecute this Bill. From the beginning,...

Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud Asante sana, Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii. Swala hili la madini kupatikana katika nchi yetu ya Kenya limekuwa donda dugu. Ninaona ni kama tulipopewa Uhuru tulipewa uhuru wa bendera pekee. Kwa mambo ya uchumi, inaonekana kama tumeachia wale wageni wanaokuja katika nchi yetu na...
