• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, very soon, let it be proposed that before we apply the rule of two minutes, we ensure that those who sit until late, for example, 6.00 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. are given priority. This business of people coming here to talk to us for five or three minutes then they leave does not help this House. We need to be serious with our work. As we consider this particular report, time has come for us, as a country, to ask ourselves critical questions. The Bible says in Mark 8 “for what shall it profit a man, if ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is misleading me. A friend of mine shared with me his struggle--- view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Exactly, Madam Temporary Speaker. That is what he is doing. My friend shared with me and said that for a long time, he has been living a very depressed life. When he is driving his small Toyota Premio on Lang‟ata Road some people overlap him with Cayennes and big vehicles. He looks at them and thinks that they are the hard workers of this life, he is sleeping too much and that he is not struggling. However, when he sees them being swept around with some of these fake gold and cash scandals, he goes back, sleeps and is motivated ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: As a House, we must critically question ourselves. Have we expanded our thinking? Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., when you wake up in the morning, you dressed, put on your Tommy Hilfiger tie, that you are dressed today, and stared at yourself in the mirror. Do you feel that you have sufficiently used your brain power and offered the best you can as the Senator for Makueni County and as a Senator in the Republic of Kenya? Is it enough for us to come and lament? We have a board up there naming this House the Senate. We may soon consider ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: That way, after a particular time, I can hold him into account and tell him: “ Bwana auditor, how were you not able to capture this particular issue?” We have County Executive Committee (CEC) Members whom we are well aware that within two to three years after being appointed into office, they are buying properties all over town. The things that happen in the national Government are worse off in our counties. This is because they do not have the kind of publicity that is given to Cabinet Secretaries (CS) of the national Government. The ones in the counties walk ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: In conclusion, Madam Temporary Speaker, we have done our bit as a Committee. We have raised these concerns with our colleague Senators and with the rest of the House. It is my sincere hope that they will take time to read through it. We hope that during the next cycle of the Leadership Retreat of the House, we shall consider the remarks that have been made by many of our colleagues; whether it is enough for us to just lament, as a House, or consider doing something that will change the lives of Kenyans. Otherwise, the future is not so ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: With those very many remarks, Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Report. Thank you. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. In fact, I was about to protest if you had not allowed us to make contributions. This is a topical discussion at this time for us in Kenya, first, as legislators and for many of us, who bear the brunt of young people in this country. Every time such issues arise, if you go to the social media pages of many of our colleagues here, especially those of us who are under the age of 35 or 40, you will see the kind of insults that are traded therein. The young people of this country ... view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: from what has been agreed on as the proper way of doing things without consulting this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, the truth of the matter is that as parliamentarians, we have failed in our responsibilities. We have allowed people to make law and give policy directions that have the force of law without being subjected to parliamentary process. We know that as per Article 94 that is unconstitutional. If you look at the Budget Framework of 2019/2020, somebody has proposed that the very noble exercise that this Government has been carrying out of funding Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) ... view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: upon these institutions that have made this policy direction, so that they give us an answer and properly furnish the House with information. At that point, we will know whether or not to support. However, as it is right now, with the haziness of information, we cannot support such a policy direction. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those very many remarks, I support the Statement by Sen. Sakaja. view
