Mr. Speaker, Sir, I notice both my Chairman and the Vice- Chairperson are not here but I am aware that by the end of last week, the Chairman was struggling to get an answer. If you could allow, we could bring the answer before the end of this week.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just used that terminology because it is a big task to get answers to these questions on time. We get the answers but it takes time. It is like a bit of strain to do that so the word “struggle” refers to the difficulty encountered in...

As I said, we will try to get the answer here on Thursday afternoon.

I was not in the House last time when this issue was raised but I am aware that the Chair of the Committee on Health, Sen. (Dr.) Kuti, spent part of his weekend addressing this issue. Unfortunately, I am unable to report to the House the results of these efforts....

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am in communication with the Chairperson of the Committee who is dealing with this issue. Given the latest information that has been given by Sen. Sang, we will give a way forward on this issue on Thursday.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, to avoid any ambiguity regarding the question by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, was he concerned with the construction of a cement company? I would like him to clarify so that we are clear about what the question is. He should tell us whether he meant construction of a...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in addition to what Sen. Chelule has said, the people of Nakuru County are together with the family of the former President at this time of sadness. This news was received with a lot of shock because for close to five years, we have been waiting...

lot for this country. I join the rest of Kenya in mourning her. May her soul rest in peace. Thank you.The 30 minutes that I allocated is over but I have five interested Members and I cannot cut them short. I will not pronounce the reduction of time but for...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and tell you that we have many athletes that have migrated from West Pokot County to Nandi County. That is why Nandi and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties are a bit more famous than us. It is interesting that every other time an...

On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Do you want to be informed by Sen. Wako? Yes Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I just want to congratulate the Senator because, being the Chair of the Sessional Committee on the Devolved Government, he was one person, apart from the Speaker, who should have been in the Devolution Conference because his Committee deals with that; but he chose to go...

Sen. Wako, was that a point of information?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it was a point of information because I know he himself cannot say it.

It is so granted. (Putting of the Question on the Bill deferred) Next Order! Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.33 of 2014) ,...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo.You may wish to mention that there are athletes in your county.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and tell you that we have many athletes that have migrated from West Pokot County to Nandi County. That is why Nandi and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties are a bit more famous than us. It is interesting that every other time an...

they quickly talk about it. We did not have it those days. As we address this Bill, I have questions why some of these hurdles are introduced along the way. For example, who brought this substance to Kenya and how did our athletes know about it? Foreigners must have interfered...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, you have half a minute.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate. Lastly, when the CEO disagrees with the board, he can easily be removed. We need to relook at Clause 18 (1) (b) . Somebody should not be sacked just because he is at loggerheads with his board. I support.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I sympathize and accept the Petition to the Senate, the reasons that were enumerated are going to be considered. Being a former employee of the institution is not a good reason to deny this individual the opportunity to work in this institution. In fact, it is...

Asante Bw. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii ambayo nilikuwa nimeingojea kwa hamu na gamu mchana wa leo.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, I just want to remind you that governors are also on record talking of Mashinani Party. Maybe it is their party. You are right. If it is the one, that is good riddance. They can move to that one and we remain in ours. Mr. Temporary Speaker,...
