• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to move this very important Motion that regards the crisis currently being experienced in the north eastern part of this country and, to some extent, northern Kenya in general. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, aware that the country in general and North Eastern region, in particular, currently faces an acute shortage of teachers; NOTING, that the problem in schools in North Eastern region counties has been exacerbated by the recent refusal by teachers to report to their duty stations in the region; CONCERNED, that the national Government has no plans to overturn the current freeze on regular recruitment of teachers; The Senate calls upon the national Government to immediately reintroduce the Untrained Teacher (UT) programme as well as in-service training for untrained teachers in the ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The concern by our colleague, hon. Mutahi Kagwe, the Senator for Nyeri, is valid. At one point, I remember saying that media houses must be sanctioned. Quite a number of my colleagues said that is not the best way to go. We are not saying that they should be sanctioned but they must be guided. There are ethics and standards which they need to look at. As ably reported by my colleague, the discussions were very positive. Concerns which can be improved on by the relevant Ministry were raised and they have ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the list of Statements, those of us who were here yesterday can see that these are not new Statements. They would have been dealt with yesterday or much earlier. This is an indication that the various line Ministries are not performing, we must accept it. I do not think it is right for some of us to defend the Government. I want to agree with Sen. Sang that from the beginning, the question was not directed to the right Ministry. As we speak, there are two or three questions that relate to boundaries. Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my sister, Sen. Adan, did not get the gist of what I was trying to put across. I was saying that quite a number of issues that have been raised relate to this Ministry and, specifically, boundaries. If they are not able to get the responses sought for by the Members, probably, one of the appropriate approaches would have been to call the Cabinet Secretary and ensure that these things are done. I was not saying that other Members should attend. view

• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, towards the end of Senators’ Statements especially saying that President Obama could address Parliament or we could ask for it, it 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 Editor, Senate. view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I heard my sister, Sen. Dullo, say that we have not lost anything. We actually lost colossal amounts of money. Presidential trips are expensive. The fact that this trip did not materialize means that we lost so much of the tax payer’s money. Secondly, representation by the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Fred Matiang’i, is not the same as representation by the Head of State, in any kind of meeting, especially where you have mentioned the various levels. Is Government considering action against those who had planned this aborted trip? view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I support your decision to refer this matter to the Committee on Health, it would be very important for us to make some comments with regard to this particular Message that has been sent to the Senate by the Council of Governors. In fact, I will regard it as a dishonest position on the part of the Council of Governors because they are trying to rope in support from Senators at this particular stage, when we have gone close to a year down into this arrangement. It is very clear in ... view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: I am not out of order; the Speaker has not said it. view
