• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, an interesting thing being proposed in the Bill, which I support 100 per cent, is that it will now not be a must that you get money for land that you are being moved from. We all know that we are in a largely patriarchal society. When you listen to the stories of what has happened to families that got the taste of money from land, you will learn that families have been broken down because the men disappeared with the money and left their wives and children on the streets begging. This has happened in ... view

• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: of the land. I was almost convinced to agree with them, but changed my mind after listening to the direction that you, the Deputy Speaker, gave a few minutes ago. You said that it is a provision of international law that before you relocate people, they must have been compensated. The truth of the matter is that I had not thought of it that way. There are people who put a lot of barriers on the way as the Government tries to implement some of these projects. Therefore, that is the mischief that was being cured here. One can move ... view

Therefore, it will be good for knowledge transfer and skill acquisition for us to include representatives of county governments in this tribunal. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, the proposed fine for members of the tribunal who commit the offence of revealing--- the typical Kenyan habit where people coalesce around a bar in the evening and leak out information that the Government is about to buy land in a particular place; the fine for this is Kshs5 million or an imprisonment of three years or both. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many times ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I support this Bill. I got confused because those who had trampled on my rights earlier have just walked in. view

• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I gladly take the invite from Sen. (Dr.) Langat, he should not mislead colleagues that I am a father of a six months old child. My only daughter is 15 months old. She was born two days before I was elected to serve my second term in this House.

• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am making a case for my good friend Sen. Mary Seneta. I know very well the importance of the Petition because she had earlier shared with me that she would wish to bring it. Earlier when you made your ruling, she was just making her way into the House. I plead with you that you allow her to present that Petition to the House. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition by Sen. Seneta. I want to congratulate her despite being a nominated Senator from Kajiado County, if the truth was to be told, if there is someone who has spoken many times about the issues affecting the residents of the Kajiado County, then it is her. I think it is a good pointer that when one is nominated he or she can do even more than those of us who were elected. I know the Senator for Nakuru, our Majority Whip has just declared war on me for uttering ... view
