• 14 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for finally giving me this chance. From the outset, I support this Bill although I have many reservations not extremely material to the content of this Bill but generally about many things that I will elaborate. Let me put to context my line of thought but I mean no offence to my friends and colleagues who are lawyers. I have a lot of respect for them and some of my best friends are lawyers. However, I have never found a line of profession so self-preserving and self-absorbed as the legal profession. In many of ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the statement by hon. Orengo. I want also to condemn this misfortunate and sad situation our country finds itself in, year in, year out. One wonders what becomes of a country where its neighbour raids her territory, arrests police officers and the country continue to do nothing about it. This is akin to a man who watches a stranger walk in his house, beat up his children, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view

• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I can assure you that mine will be comments. I want to give more strength to the Statement by my colleague, Sen. Khaniri. Last year, he stood to make this request to this August House and he said that this particular bridge has continued to take away the lives of innocent victims, the people that he represents in this House. Unfortunately, nothing has been done up to now. While making my contribution yesterday on a totally different issue, I spoke of the need for this House to bring back the issues that matter to our electorate, which ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to make my contribution and share my thoughts as well on this Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 14 of 2018). It is an extremely important Bill that places duties or functions of the Senate right at the heart of it; something that we consider seriously as Members of this House. For those of us that are fairly familiar with the history of this House, we do know that there were times when our colleagues from the ‘Lower’ House strongly felt that the Senate should not be given ... view
• 5 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion because it is extremely important. I understand the passion with which the Senator for Nakuru County has picked up this matter. When you replay the scenes that led to this unfortunate event, you will see ordinary Kenyans who were sleeping in their tiny shacks, worrying about the tribulations that they face in life, and before they knew it, more trouble befell them. Those who were lucky to survive had their households swept away and some even had dead family members. They do not have a voice and have no ... view
• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is really interesting to begin contribution on such an unprecedented move in this House. The fact that we continue to receive petitions in this House, is testament enough to the belief, faith and hope that many members of the public have in this institution, that is, the Senate. It is my utmost and most sincere desire that we shall continue to do justice and dispense with the matters brought to this House with seriousness that they deserve. The issues that have been raised by the Governor of Uasin Gishu County are extremely important because ... view
• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are weighty matters, especially to us the residents of Kericho and our good neighbours from Bomet, who by extension are still residents of Kericho, as it used to be one district back in the day. The petitioners are members that are well known to me and what they are trying to canvass are matters that we have discussed as a community that lives around where the multinationals occupy. We have tried to seek all forms of redress but nothing good has been forthcoming up to date. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 29 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be extremely brief. The point I want to make is that the issue of why the backlog in terms of the years is a matter that we have canvassed before. I am a Member of the Committee on Finance and Budget and I was a Member of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget in the previous Parliament. In one of our reports that we brought to this House alongside the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, we had made recommendations to the Office of the Auditor- General. He should consider requesting for funding from the ... view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I also join my colleagues, on behalf of the people of Kericho County, to condole with our neighbours, the good people of Nakuru, following this very unfortunate incident. I have two quick points. First, is to Sen. Susan Kihika, Senator for Nakuru County. I urge you on as you pursue justice for the victims of this heinous act. I call it “heinous” because negligence has led to many people losing property and more importantly, lives. As we pursue their compensation, we note that life is priceless and there is absolutely nothing that we can do, but at ... view
