• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I join the rest of my colleagues in eulogizing a great man; somebody we had the rare pleasure of serving with in this House for two terms. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Unlike our senior colleagues who have had a chance of knowing him including you, Madam Deputy Speaker---. Earlier on you mentioned that you knew Sen. Haji in 1983. My colleague here, Sen. Iman, was quick to remind me that I had not even been conceived. That is the disadvantage of being young amongst great people like you. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Earlier on today when his son Abdul spoke to us and told us that in his last days before he lost consciousness, the Senator wanted to write a letter of resignation because he felt it was not right for him to continue receiving salary as a Senator yet he was not serving the people., many people were surprised but I was not because that was the Senator Haji that I know. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Let me tell you a story that confirmed and came clear to my mind when his son was speaking. We had the normal disputes we had between us and the National Assembly. At one time, it was a time like this when we were handling the Budget Policy Statement or maybe the Division of Revenue. There was a proposal that was brought to this House. We were seated in a Kamukunji and the then Speaker, hon. Ethuro, was chairing the session. We were told that the long drawn-out battle between us and the National Assembly was about to be brought ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: We never picked that money. We ended that Kamukunji and agreed that if the Executive wanted to sort that issue of oversight fund, then we had better be provided with a proper legal framework on how to use those funds. That was Sen. Haji the man. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: For many of us that are young and starting off our career at this time, such privileges that God extends to us to be seated in such a Chamber with persons who have served this country with distinction, affords us the opportunity to learn, study and look at the lives they have lived. 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
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: At times such as these when we were reflecting and hearing testimonies and tributes from people who have known him through the decades, we know that it is possible to serve one’s country with distinction and stand firm even amidst all the difficulties that one may face. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: On behalf of the people of Kericho County where he served as our PC being part of the greater Rift Valley those many years--- view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: I say this not because he is no longer here but I have said this to him many times. When you meet elderly people who served with him either as chiefs or DOs, one of their parting shots is that, “please, pass our regards to bwana PC.” To the best of their knowledge, they never knew any other PC. The PC was Yusuf Haji and Yusuf Haji was the PC to them. They will pass their messages of condolences. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: On behalf of such persons who are still alive who served with him and come from Kericho County, I pass their condolences also to his family. view
