• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: So, when he comes here, he will give a proper explanation to the people of Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, we must be sincere. That is why earlier on today, we said that we have to be sincere in this war on corruption. You cannot pretend to be a saint yet when questions are raised about mysterious tenders that are being awarded in your Ministry, you want to chicken out and run away, and then tomorrow you call a press conference at the stairs of Harambee House and pontificate about how you are fighting corruption. It is a shame. We are ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to react to the Communication that you have given by requesting my colleagues, fellow Senators, to turn up in large numbers. This is a matter of great national importance and I believe that the media will be covering this event live. It will be unfortunate if, after inviting two Cabinet Secretaries, they walk here to empty seats in Parliament. Therefore, I kindly request that further Communication be given, through other means, so that all the Senators can be aware of this event. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are colleague Senators who are asking which Cabinet Secretaries will be showing up. To the best of my knowledge, the question was to the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to make a comment on the circus that we are being treated to, as a House, by this Committee. To the best of my knowledge, I concur with the sentiments raised by the Senator for Isiolo that somehow, as a House, we appear to have lost track on this issue. This is because, earlier on, there was a ruling from the Chair that this matter be taken up by a Committee of the Whole House. You will recall that when the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Health appeared before us, it was the ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will try and be brief, despite the fact that I have so much to say, just to be sensitive to the fact that many of my colleagues want to contribute on this extremely important matter. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I commend this Committee led by Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and the distinguished Senator for Bungoma, Sen. Wetangula. This is fantastic work of brilliance and courage. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: The Motion before us, especially as amended, goes into the heart of the issues that ail this country. In my opinion, the Inter-Ministerial Committee on food security, should be known as the Inter-Ministerial Committee on food insecurity, because that is what they have visited upon the people of Kenya. By the stroke of a pen and the decision they made they condemned many farmers to deep poverty and depression. It is important that we approve this Report and agree with the decision of this Committee. These people will explain to the country how they were able to sit down and ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: If we are looking at ways and means of making the country food secure, then it is easier to start by ensuring that our farmers and the people who produce for this country within our borders are properly funded and supported. These farmers are suffering because they could not give kickbacks and that is why people sit in high offices with well air-conditioned rooms and who drink very expensive water, could issue gazette notices without winking their eyes. It is unfortunate, evil and I lack words to describe the action that the particular Inter-Ministerial Committee visited upon the innocent farmers ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments of many of my colleagues who have said that this Report will be a game-changer.
