• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: How difficult was it, for example, before the people that came up with the scandalous programme of Galana-Kulalu to consider investing in our farmers who over the years have been doing farming, before spending billions of Kenya Shillings in a place that is not arable? I am sure that farmers would have been able to produce whatever they were looking for cheaply and affordably in this country. However, since our farmers are too poor to give kickbacks, nobody considers them. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I note that the work that this Committee did is how we need to carry out investigations in this country; silently, expeditiously, without drama and malice, but laying all facts on the table. I hope that is the attitude that the DPP and DCI will observe in the investigations they are carrying on. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I am not satisfied that we have an investigator who for every statement that they take, their first point of call is to the newspapers and WhatsApp groups. It is a shame and charade; that is not how to fight corruption. We want to see them try their cases in court and not in newspaper headlines. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those very many remarks, I keep true to the promise that I made of not taking more than three minutes. I support this Report. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am trying to follow what Sen. Mwaura is saying, but I do not see the correlation between devolution and marriage. Is he suggesting that the Governor for Kirinyaga has been devolved to Murang’a County? view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this chance. I also make my contribution and share my thoughts about this extremely important Bill. In my opinion, it is one of the best we have ever considered. It is not that there is any Bill brought before this House which is not important, but this speaks to the very core duty of what leadership is all about. Leadership is about making the lives of those that queue on election day and give us a chance to represent them in this House easy. The true nod in terms of what a leader should ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: You remember about all this hullabaloo that has been going round in the past two days; it is actually an uproar by many of our young people who are looking up to us, as leaders. They said that when you have people gather, pay for very expensive meals and book a huge press conference to launch a strategic plan – like they were doing for the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) – only to announce to the young people that, “we are coming after you because you have not paid your HELB loans.” This tells you that something is not ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Therefore, because we are leaders, it is not our duty; it is not in our place to lament or cry foul each and every time we get the Floor in the House of Parliament. However, our duty is to do actual work, like the work that has gone into the thinking of this Bill, where we are now thinking about the ways that we can ensure that we put to task the Executive, because we are the Legislature. It is unfortunate and you cannot blame the citizens of this country. When things do not work, you even do not want ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Director (MD); all you know is that these are leaders, and leaders are supposed to fix problems. Therefore, when you get to that point as things are in this country right now, what should be of primary concern to us, as legislators, is how much are we doing our work to the best of our abilities such that we ensure that that which is within our purview, as Members of Parliament, is done? Therefore, it is important that we enact such legislation, with very good proposals being prescribed here in this particular Bill, so that we ensure that the people ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: If you read from history, we are aware that many of the societies that were a decent franchise and are no longer now living peacefully, it is because it started by the denial of economic and social rights. Therefore, this is a very important Bill because we are talking about something which, if we do not guarantee in the next five to ten years; with a bulging youth population that is hugely under the age of 30, a time will come where it will no longer be possible. People will even begin to see and build internal hate against leaders ... view
