Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a genuine request made in good faith; I agree. However, you need to tell these chairpersons that when a deadline has been reached, as you have always ruled, they need to walk to the relevant Ministry and get the statements the way...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo It is a shame! Some of them did not own a bicycle or a motorbike before. However, today they have moved quickly from zero to hero. They are driving some of the top of the range vehicles. You may wonder about this since there are no roads...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale who begun his contribution to introduce the names of senior citizens who did their work well? He is referring to Sen. Wamatangi as an orphan. What does he mean?

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I apologise because we deal with the division of revenue in the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. This is the County Allocation Revenue Bill. It comes after the Division of Revenue Bill, I understand that. However, the point is still made. Whether...

Sen (Prof.) Lonyangapuo On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is Sen. Murkomen in order to continuously repeat using a word in a different language from what he started from?

Sen. (Prof.) LonyangapuoMr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we proceed to make the next formula to look at the County Allocation of Revenue Bill in the coming year, I want us to go back to 2013, look at the allocation to every county, their consumption level and what they rolled over....

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Although you are ruling my neighbor out of order, Sen. (Prof.) Lesan, a county would suffice. For November 9, 2016 SENATE DEBATES Sen.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are right, but we are living in a new dispensation called devolution which is now five years old.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, if it is true, then I want to see Pokot and Turkana here. Why has he left other tribes if they are 42 of them? One further clarification, he has said we have 30 Vice-chancellors. Out of this, 11 of them are on acting...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Chairperson to trivialize this issue? This came as a Statement so as to find out whether---

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Chairperson to take us round when we know that most vice chancellors come from the communities where the universities are located and speak the same vernacular languages as the villagers who neighbour the universities? Lastly, the Chairperson says...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join you in welcoming and congratulating the delegations from the two county assemblies for choosing to come to the Senate to see how we do work for them. I would like to remind them that Senate does oversight and protects the interests...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, did you hear the Vice Chairperson saythey are unable to summon Gov. Oparanya? His residence is well known and they can get him by all means.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Without losing the point that was raised by Sen. Kagwe, we need to relook some of the petitions afresh. Most of what was raised in the petitions was captured by the Auditor-General’s report. The CPAIC, headed by Sen. (Prof.)...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45 (2) (b) to seek for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the supply of subsidized fertilizers to the farmers by the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) ....

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is new to me. The Chairperson should seek to proceed with Sen. Karaba’s Statement and respond to mine as soon as possible. They may not be the same, word for word.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Chairperson. However, I am surprised because this Statement was very urgent to the extent that the Speaker directed that it be issued today. This touches on the life of the Governor of Bomet County who has been missing in the...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, are these three bodies registered under the law? If they are, why are policemen required if the law stipulates what they are supposed to do? It is waste of money--- Sen. (Prof.) LonyangapuoA

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Karaba has covered most of what I had prepared as a statement earlier. I want the Chairperson to address the following: During the short rains, planting in most areas starts in September and harvesting is done around December and January. This Statement was...

Sen. (Prof.) LonyangapuoA Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, those are two clarifications. One is about delivery in April or January. The other one is on importation of food.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to seek two clarifications. I come from a county that depends on agriculture not only for food, but also as a source of income. One, what has the Ministry done to deal with the cartels who buy fertilizer in bulk from the National...

Order, Senator! Seek your clarification. You are explaining to us that you are from an agricultural county; who does not know where you come from?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to proceed. My first clarification on the cartels who buy fertilizer is clear---

Order, Senator! You are being repetitive. Seek your second clarification?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, what have the counties done in terms of storage and distribution of fertilizer to farmers who are in need?

Very well.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I gave a response to the effect that the Ministry is distributing fertilizer. In the annexes that I did not read several counties, including Kirinyaga County are covered. It is indicated that fertilizer is being distributed to farmers for the short rains in that area.

Order, Senator. I also have a copy of your response, but I do not see the counties.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is in Annex 2.

Is annex 2 the same as Table 2 on page 4?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is Annex 1, which shows the depots and Annex 2, which shows the areas where the fertilizer is distributed. Looking at Annex 1 on the depots, I believe Sagana is in Kirinyaga County, or at least supplies fertilizer to Kirinyaga. That is the nearest depot to...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairman in order to imagine that I do not come from Sagana yet Sagana is in Kirinyaga? I was there yesterday and there was not a single bag of fertilizer. What is he trying to contest? He is saying that...

Order, Senator. The Chair is just trying to confirm that Sagana is a depot supplying your county. The contestation is whether what is given here is what obtains on the ground. Proceed, Sen. Ndiema.

We, as a Senate, wonder why there is delay of releasing oversight funds to us because this would have...

Sen. (Prof) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, in some instances, work that is supposed to be done in the next five years has already commenced without proper budget. This is chaos being witnessed. I laud the petitioners and we should encourage county citizens to be alert like them.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairperson for bringing the response today, although it is several months late. I am surprised by the way the Chairperson has attempted to respond. He has evaded most of the questions that I asked. I asked about the secondary...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson is not coming out very clearly. In this Statement, we asked about schools and colleges. Nowadays we do not have headmasters. We have principals for schools and training technical institutes (TTCs) . I asked him to explain whether the Ministry is aware...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, is Sen. Karaba in order to imagine that he is the only one who has ever been a headmaster in this House? If it is true, his experience is very old. I do not know when he was a head teacher last. It may...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I can see the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations who was eloquently handling the same matter last time is present. Indeed, my apologies. I had not seen the Vice Chairperson because the Chairman...

Sen. (Prof) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week, you had directed the Vice Chairperson to take this statement seriously and respond to it today after she had excused herself that she was unable to get it from the Ministry. How long will we entertain the Vice Chairperson of this honourable...

Sen. (Prof) Lonyangapuo Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish the Vice Chairperson would provide the answer tomorrow as directed. Any more stories after tomorrow will be disapproved. We will wait for tomorrow and then deal with it from there.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45 (2) (b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights regarding participation of Cabinet and Principal Secretaries in political party activities. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that you have reminded the Committee Member of the calendar of the Senate, I request that you reduce it to one week after we open.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought you said that we will use the Supplementary Order Paper instead of the other one. If you follow the Supplementary Order Paper, the Statement that I sought is supposed to come later.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is indicated as Statement No.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry. I had sought for two Statements. I now see what you meant.

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have always directed that statements that reappear several times and especially those ones that are urgent must be responded to. This is not an ordinary statement where the shoot to April 6, 2017 SENATE DEBATES Sen. (Prof.)...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a pity these contractors chose to bring a petition of Kshs974,000 to the Senate. We have seen an array of expenditure when the governor of that county is launching his new political party. That notwithstanding, Ms. Jemutai and Ms. Chepkurui must...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious case. No wonder sugar is almost now very rare in the supermarket shelves and if you get it, some of it comes from foreign lands; yet, there are many industries that were processing sugar, Chemelil being one of...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have special visitors as you have noted. “Phd students” means they are about to earn their doctorate very soon. These are my colleagues. JKUAT is unique because of the research going on for specialised seeds of bananas which is better than what...

Sen. (Prof.) LonyangapuoA nothing against Meru County, but when will it reach Samburu, Laikipia, Turkana and other counties along that route? We thought it would be completed within the timeline. Where are we at the moment?

Sen. (Prof.) LonyangapuoAthe Speaker may appoint a day for the Statement to be made or direct that the Statement be issued on the same day.” Our Standing Orders do not say the Statement must come from the Ministry or from anywhere else. You can get and source that information from...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the target is to smoke out the bandits there, then the same procedure that was used to identity bandits there should also be applied in Laikipia County. Right now, they are treating cattle, women and newborn babies as bandits. Kindly direct the...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we should get a report on the day of resumption. We cannot leave it hanging. Since the Committee has taken up the matter, I agree. As soon as we come back, they can issue the report. The Committee can also involve some of...

Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo Your request and suggestion is quite in order, but I will amend. It is not only the Senate Majority Leader who is allowed to call for a special sitting. Any Member, so long as you have the support of at least 15 Members, can actually apply for...
