Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the Statement made by Sen. Karaba, that particular Petition initially came to my Committee, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights.

Sen. Sang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand corrected if you so find. My understanding is that when this Bill is called out, the most responsible person is the Mover, Sen. Omondi. If in the process she then reports to this House that the Bill had gone to the Committee,...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in congratulating the three petitioners who presented this Petition to the Senate. The responsibility given to this Senate is partly shared with the county assemblies in terms of oversight over our Sen. Sanga legislation called The Petitions to County Assemblies Bill....

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to appear to doubt the directions that you have given. Whereas the petition prominently raised issues of cows finding their way into the Governor’s compound, I thought the issue was much bigger than the cows. It...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join you and my colleagues in welcoming the Deputy Governor of Murang’a County. I am happy to see him in the Speaker’s Gallery. The last time, I saw a story of him in the papers was that his office had been vandalized,...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, is Sen. Karaba in order to allude to some experience that he has had which contradicts the policy that he has shared with us? He could have had that experience but it is the wrong way of doing things. Is he in order to contradict...

Sen. Sang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we do not have an answer for this. As I indicated yesterday, this Statement was directed to our Committee and we directed the same to the Attorney-General’s Office. Then it appeared that it should have been taken to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination...

Hon. Kiptanui Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I want to believe that, as leaders, we understand the challenges being faced by persons with disabilities. If, indeed, we were able to extend the retirement age for all persons from 55 to 60, I do not think it is difficult for us to...

Hon. Sang Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to congratulate Hon.

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. The importance of the question raised by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale cannot be ignored. Is the Vice-Chair in order to ask for two weeks for such a brief Statement while she was contesting two weeks for her own lengthy Statement? Is...

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have been engaged in these things. We know what is happening. Is it in order for a Member to give an impression that an entire community is involved when he says “the Marakwet killed”? It is important that...

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is important for Members to appreciate that these proceedings are being aired live. The fact that a Member is not in this House does not mean that he has not followed what is going on. I was in...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. The situation at the border of West Pokot, Elgeyo-Marakwet and Baringo and the challenges that we have seen in that region in the last one year or so are disturbing. It is even shocking when you have a situation...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, appreciating the urgency of the issues raised but also cognizant of the many riders that we have received, I request one and a half weeks.

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday last week I sought a statement regarding the welfare of former councillors in the defunct local authorities. It was directed to the Ministry of Devolution and National Planning. However, the Chairperson insisted that statement was supposed to have been directed to the Committee...

Sen. Sang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I joined the Senate as a nominated Senator in March, 2013, I did not know of the kind of relationship I would have with the elected Senator of Kwale County. I knew Sen. Boy Juma Boy was the elected Senator. Different dynamics happen...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Jubilee Party has been losing MPs at a very high rate to the CORD Coalition. Could you give him an opportunity to confirm that he has finally also taken the big leap and joined the Government in waiting?

Sen. Sang Order, Sen. Wetangula! I have not yet proposed the question. Sen. Sang, let me have a copy of the Motion. (The Clerk-at-the-Table handed a copy of the Motion to the Speaker) Order, Members, I therefore wish to propose the question. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Realizing what the Mover has said, I think it is of great importance that I support that we continue with this Motion. I second.

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure Sen. Mukiite will have her opportunity to share her understanding of the word “complementary.” However, I am giving the definition that anticipates that there is a primary. The primary mechanism of identification, in this case, as captured under Section 44 is electronic....

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not mention anybody. Of course, every one of us knows that Sen. Elizabeth Masha Ongoro is a close friend to a particular politician, and therefore, most likely when I mentioned this; she is able to identify herself. (Loud consultations)

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, assuming that what Sen. Elizabeth is saying, that the electronic voting was the idea of the Jubilee and theirs was manual, what is the problem in providing for a manual system they believed in, in the first place? They should not have a problem with...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, elections are emotive and this is clearly why it is important for us to provide for complementary mechanisms. If somebody was told to wait for two hours because he or she is unable to vote, you can imagine how volatile they can be, if somebody...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with what Sen. Orengo has said, that there is a provision within the proposed law that tries to give the National Assembly some role in delimitation of boundaries. That proposed law is unconstitutional on the basis of Article 89. If you...

Sen. Sang Just one Article Mr. Speaker, Sir--- January 5, 2017 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at Article 2 (4) , which I am sure Sen. Orengo is well versed with and he has quoted it severally in this House, on the supremacy of the Constitution, it clearly says that any law, including the proposed Elections (Amendment) Bill...

Sen. Sang

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I oppose this Bill for a few reasons. One, the law which is proposed to be amended was a product of negotiation by a Joint Committee. You were on that Chair when you ruled that not even...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to ignore Sen. Sang, because the gentleman does not inspire my intellect.

Sen. Sang

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we are unnecessarily pushing the matter too far. Sen. Obure is the determinant of the vote for Kisii delegation. I do not think that can be challenged. So, the decision of Sen. Obure, if anybody wants to challenge it here and now, it...
