• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to contribute to this grave issue. What happened to our colleague, Sen. Loitiptip, is sad. That Saturday was a good night for football lovers because we watched the game. The Senate Majority Leader has stated what happened to him on his way home. I request our colleagues, Members of the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, to take the lives of our colleagues seriously. Sen. Loitiptip was assaulted. Before that, the security of Sen. Kihika, who is the Senate Majority Whip, was withdrawn. These are colleagues they sit with in a Committee that ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: operations of the national Government. The national Government misbehaved by taking away the security of one of us, but they did not do anything about it as a Committee. Now, another Member of the Committee was assaulted. We do not know what will happen to another Member. This issue should not be treated casually. Since this is a matter of urgency, the Chairperson of the Committee should ensure that they summon the IG of Police to give a status of things that are being reported here. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: I have been told that the suspects have been released for only Kshs20,000. What investigations have they conducted so quickly to a point of determining that that person is innocent? It is extremely unfortunate and should not be taken lightly. Madam Temporary Speaker, when the Senate Majority Leader was speaking, I was just wondering. Supposing Sen. Anuar, was amongst the well-known Members of Parliament or even well-known public figures - and I do not wish anyone bad - would this case have been given the kind of blackout and treated with non-concern that it--- view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I register my support to my colleague, Sen. M. Kajwang, about this issue which is extremely important to the residents that he represents in this House. I listened to him present the issues and the challenges that people in that region continue to face. I wonder whether the Government considers them as citizens of this country. I will go straight to what is a trend that is clearly emerging and the new Constitution has not saved us from it. It was envisioned that when we pass the Constitution of Kenya, ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am back on record. Sen. Wetangula, I meant that they are non-existent. I consider everybody to be intelligent. I assume that the police will treat people that are considered to be of greater importance to the society, which I believe there are none, with dignity and respect. 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
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: We have heard Sen. M. Kajwang narrate how an innocent fisherman, perhaps, a father to a family had gone to fend for his family and when they eventually got to the demarcated area--- It will be interesting to know how they demarcated the 200 acres in a lake. So, how is a person supposed to know the boundary? The fish would also want to know so that they do not cross into private property. Some of the decisions that our Government makes are astounding. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the point that I am prosecuting is that despite the fact that the ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: If it was not done, then that is a good basis for somebody to go to court and have this contract declared null and void. This country belongs to the people of Kenya. It does not matter how poor or uneducated I am, so long as it is something that is being done within an area that I call my home, I must be consulted. That is a constitutional provision. It is not for the Government to choose when they want and do not want to apply it. I want to register my sympathy with Sen. M. Kajwang’ and the ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. I keenly listen to the debate in this House. Sen. Mugo speaks in a soft voice but she is very informative. She has reminded us that mental disorder is a disease just like any other. The protestations by Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Sakaja confirm the argument that many people have not accepted mental disorder as any other disease. What would have happened if Sen. M. Kajwang’ said that Luanda is a malaria prone area? Would they have protested the way they are protesting? Therefore, I would wish to urge--- view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am concluding. In terms of semantics, Sen. M. Kajwang’ said that; ‘you will notice’. Noticing is subjective. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: That is my point, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Producing accurate figures does not feature in this argument because he said that he noticed that the number is more. However, somebody else could notice lesser numbers. view
