• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Back to the Bill, there are interesting things I have learned by listening to what my colleagues have said. We have also educated ourselves from the banters we had. I think Sen. Poghisio captured it well, that we do not understand the magnitude of this problem and what it is about. What do we mean when we hear people say that someone is mentally sound or they are fully okay? We need to ask ourselves what lunacy and mental health are and who is mentally okay and who is not. We heard the shocking statistics by Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri about ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: which ordinarily appear like runaway crime. Are people just being inhumane with each other? If you do research, you will realise that it is a challenge of mental health. In many work spaces, there are things that sometimes people say to each other. You do not need to confirm that the statistics that Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri shared are true. If you go to many social media platforms, you will see the kind of nasty things that people say to each other. There is no way a normal person can wake up out of the blues and insult somebody they have ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a very important issue. If you watched the developments around the infamous Ekeza Sacco, you saw what the owner, whom I do not wish to call a con but I cannot find a better way to describe him, did to millions of Kenyans who put in billions of shillings into that SACCO. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, many of our people are so innocent such that they imagine that any person who operates a SACCO business has gone through the rigorous Government processes of ensuring that they are legit and what they are ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: has two signatories, where in many of these cases, one of the signatory is a spouse to the other. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves. This is an issue that if we do not take care of, will cause a lot of trouble to many people in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I look forward to the work that will be done by this Committee and the response that they shall bring to this House, perhaps, before we break for recess. view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I a Member of the Committee on Finance and Budget and it is a privilege and great honour serving in the Committee. It is great honour because our work is to ensure that counties are sufficiently funded to operate and provide requisite services to the people who voted us into this House, such that they do not lack basic services. The dream of Kenyans, when they voted for the Constitution, 2010, was to ensure that services are taken closer to people. We have been looking at audit reports and the monthly releases ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: here innocently and say that as long as we ensure that counties are properly funded, there is nothing else to do. I sympathise with my colleagues in the mediation committee. What gives them the energy to wake up to go and meet our colleagues from the National Assembly and ensure that we have more money going to the counties? Cardinally, we believe that as long as we continue to fund our counties, somewhere along the line, we will get some of the things right. The question is: When shall we begin to hold people accountable? The truth of the matter ... view
• 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
