• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the people of Kericho County and that of my family, I pass my sincere condolences to the people of Matungu Constituency and the family of our colleague, Mhe. Murunga. Mr. Speaker, Sir, many of our colleagues have spoken about the tragic and unfortunate way in which he met his death. If we had a better working health care system in the country, perhaps we would not be having this particular matter as a point of discussion. I remind my colleagues that we too share in the responsibility of blame. As a House, ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, you know very well that as my teacher at the university, I followed all your instructions keenly. Therefore, I do not intend to change that today. I agree with the wisdom of our senior colleague, Sen. Wetangula, that while we may have divergent views on maybe one or two issues, the document largely reflects the views of many of us in this House, if not all of us, especially where they have dwelt on provisions of the Senate. Article 123 is such an important Article, perhaps, the most important. Perhaps, it is stronger than Article 96 that ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: to the best of my knowledge, this is not a gender question. It is about the dilution of the position of the Senate, as compared to the rest of the six other positions on the ballot. When we go to the ballot every five years, there are six positions that we vote on. The question that Senators are asking is if on the other five positions you are voting on the basis of the strength of an individual, how comes it is only the Senate that you want to reduce to be voted on the basis of gender, where you ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, you need to protect me. I am speaking right in front of the most vicious defenders of some of the things that I am saying. I think that is what has made me dry on the throat. In conclusion, since the Table Office is here, this is such a wonderful presentation by the Senate that should not just be left as a Report of this Committee that will be presented somewhere. We have our social media pages as the Senate. This Report should be out for people to read and know the position of the Senate on ... view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: here. What happened in Naivasha is regrettable. The fact that you can invite Members of Parliament to a meeting to the exclusion of others without giving a proper justification and criteria--- Do not take us for fools. Do not tell us about COVID-19, yet we know what your considerations are. That was extremely shameful of our leadership. I want to say thank you to the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for finally rescuing the conduct and the stature of Senate by doing this particular document. Thank you. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a wise ruling. I support it 100 per cent in enriching our culture. I think you need to go further and order that in order to promote our youth, many of whom are jobless, we should instigate that before Members of this House, we should check where the suits they wear are made from. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: Many of our young people would make a good living out of fitting and properly dressing the leaders in this House. That is a requirement we need to consider, so that all these Italian suits can disappear and we have suits made by young people from Kisii, Kericho and other places so that we come and display them. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: This is an important issue that our colleague, Sen. Khaniri, has brought to the attention of this House. He has brought it so well and reminded us the journey that this House has travelled with the tea farmers of this country. In 2018, we formed a committee. We went round the country and visited about 10 of the 13 tea growing counties in this Republic. We brought a report to this House and jointly, together with that Committee came up with a Bill. Like Sen. Khaniri has rightfully reminded this House, that Bill continues to enjoy a lot of delay ... view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: It is my sincere most wish that we conclude this particular matter before we break for this Session of Parliament. Once we receive the communication from the National Assembly, the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries should be seized of the matter and ensure all the additional further legislation is done. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: I have personally followed the debates to ensure that many provisions they have introduced are fair and protective of the rights of our farmers. Many of the changes are in tandem with the wishes of this House to ensure we liberate the tea farmer. view
