• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am properly guided. I will follow the path that has been charted by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. The reason I raised that issue is because as the Senate, sometimes we do not do our work properly. When we do exceptional things, we leave them hanging and people do not appreciate some of the work that we do. I look forward to a time where those five county headquarters will be complete and the Senate will have a presence in their opening. Let people know that we do not legislate just for the fun of it. ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: With those many remarks, I second. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two quick points to say on this matter. First, I congratulate my colleague, Sen. Halake, for bringing to the attention of the Senate this very grave matter that affects her constituents. 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
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: What is government? Sometimes I fail to understand, especially on days like these when we hear that the Government has shown up at a particular place and asked everybody to leave. I thought to the best of my knowledge and all the civics that I know that government is the people. There is no day or force of law that an institution that has been put in place by the same people can have more authority than the people who put it in place. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: We are increasingly seeing this habit where certain organs or institutions in Government appear to enjoy unilateral power over every other institution in this country. I am happy that at least as an institution, we are beginning to speak against this. Some of us for the last few months have been arguing and standing our ground on the rule of law. When they formed that kangaroo thing that they refer to as the multi-agency taskforce that is showing up in people’s homes and demolishing, we said: “Well, you may have a justified case against individuals whose homes or property you ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Secondly, our work is simply to legislate, oversight and represent our people. Unfortunately, on many occasions, we are obsessed with legislating. We concentrate on how many Bills we have passed. That is why even when we have Statements like this, we feel as if there is need to hurry and conclude a particular matter, so that we can discuss Bills. I do not think we lack adequate laws in this country for us to continue generating more. In any case, what is the motivation to do additional laws if the ones that are in place are not being respected? I ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: do out work more expeditiously, that they use this as an example and ensure that citizens of Isiolo County get justice in this issue. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to support this Bill. Many times, we consider the work that we do here as being more important than what the others do. If today we were discussing the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) or the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA), this House would have been full. The Whips would have mobilised the Members to ensure that more money is sent to the counties. They would have wanted everybody to add their voice to it. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: The importance of those Bills cannot be gainsaid, but this Bill, however simple it may appear, has greater value than all the money that we can send to our counties for it addresses the psyche of our society. It instils in the minds of human beings, the importance of doing good to society. There is need for positive contribution for the betterment of the life of those that we share this planet with. Unfortunately, our anthropological organisation is not up to date. We do not appreciate those who have made extraordinary contributions. We only realise that when we have not ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: We should learn to list the men and women who have made significant contribution in our country. We should pass that culture to our counties and other institutions. The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) is considering having Parliaments Hall of Fame which will include people who have made significant contribution to this House either as Members of Parliament or members of staff. It will include people who have given their lives into the establishment of this very important organ. We need to think of how to celebrate such people who retire and go into oblivion. When they retire, nobody remembers that ... view
