"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Senator for Embu, your Senator, Sen. Mundigi, has just stepped out on official duties, but is always my immediate neighbour. I am also an alumna of St. Anne’s High School from the great County of Embu. So, I am also a product of Embu when it comes to my own levels. I take this opportunity to welcome you to the Senate. It is the ‘upper’ House. We also wish you the best as you continue doing what you are supposed to do to the younger ones. Do not set the examples that we saw last week, that was set by one of the best schools in this country, Alliance Girls, what we saw one teacher doing to our young people. I urge you, teachers, to go and do the best. Have products like this, as I pride in being one of the students from the great county of Embu. Thank you, Madam Speaker."

"content": "Asante, Bi Spika wa Muda. Langu ni kuchangia kuhusu huduma za Kenya Airways na Jambo Jet. Huduma hii imekuwa dhaifu. Inasikitisha kuwa hata bei ya kampuni hizi za ndege imepanda na imekuwa vigumu kwa wananchi wa Kenya kusafiri. Ningependekeza washushe bei ya nauli. Hii itarahisisha mambo kwa wananchi wa Kenya kusafiri. Lakini kwa sasa huu mfumo wa utoaji wa leseni ina masharti magumu. Kwa hivyo, ndege za kwenda Mombasa na Nairobi zimekuwa chache. Kwa hivyo, Serikali ingefanya hima kutoa leseni nyingi kwa mashirika ya ndege zingine ili kuwe na competition. Hii itawezesha Wakenya kufaidika. Waweze kupunguza bei ya nauli ili kuwe na mfuto wa tourist kuja Kenya zaidi lakini bei ya nauli kwa ndege za local iko juu na Wakenya wengi hawawezi kulipa hiyo bei. Iko juu."

Tumeanza kuona kuwa Kenya Airways bado huwa lazima ndege ziwe zimechelewa. Kama unaondoka saa mbili, unajikuta unaondoka saa saba ya mchana. Kama unaondoka saa saba, utajikuta unaondoka jioni. Kwa hivyo, haina utaratibu wa saa zake ukamilifu wa kuweza kufanya kazi vizuri. Tunaomba Serikali iweze kusaidia Kenya Airways wawe na huduma bora na pia malipo ya ndege yapunguzwe"

"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to speak on one of the Statement that has been brought to the Floor of this House by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I want to first quote Article 3 of the Constitution- “(1) Every person has an obligation to respect, uphold and defend this Constitution. (2) Any attempt to establish a government otherwise than in compliance with this Constitution is unlawful.” I am quoting this because what we have seen in the maandamano that we experienced on 7th of July and 25th of June is not anything to write home about. Very well-intentioned demonstrations were turned into violent protestations and instead of peaceably proceeding to demonstrate and raising the issues that the public believes that they wanted to raise; there was so much infiltration from the political front that what we ended up with was loss of life, destruction of property and we also saw careers curtailed and occupations brought down. Even those Gen Zs who were working in those businesses now cannot wake up and proceed to work. From my end, I think we need to school ourselves and the public once again on the constitutional stipulations when we are exercising our freedoms and rights. This is because rights carry obligations, they ride with obligations and where somebody has a right, that right must not breach the rights of other citizens. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "What we saw easily makes us think that we should actually not have demonstrations in Kenya for now. This is because, why would anybody even compel young people to go to the streets just to be in conflict with the police officers? It is because they know at the end of the day there will be infiltration of that demonstration. The harm outweighs the good now. When it comes to destruction of property, loss of life, the intended good by Article 37 of the Constitution has been overridden by the harm that was caused and even loss of one life is one too many for the nation of Kenya. We need to rethink what is our loyalty pledge to the nation. I want to cite the Americans who value and treasure their nation and uphold their flag. They defend and protect their nation. Why are we not able to do that in the exercise of our rights under the Constitution?"
