• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Statement by Sen. Cherargei. We need to focus on a lot on the spate of modernisation of our aviation infrastructure. I have put a question to this House about other smaller airports, especially with regard to the safety, quality and the amount of investments that have gone into them. As much as the airlines must be investigated and safety of our aircrafts be determined, the state of our aviation infrastructure should be taken into account. That said, we must never forget that this country has done very well in other areas. ... view

• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: million to 7.5 million. Therefore, there is a lot to be proud of. However, that is not to say that we should be complacent. Wilson Airport that we are talking about is very important in Africa. It is one of the best and has served us very well. However, we cannot afford it to now have a bad name. TripAdvisor today was advising people against using Wilson Airport, which is a shame, because that is our tourism circuit enabler in this country. I support. view

• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to read this. This Statement was unfortunately somewhat overtaken by events, but I think it is still relevant.

• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: incitement to violence, disruption of the voting exercise, assault, electoral offenses and breach of Elections Code of Conduct, are addressed without fail and punished. Any breach of the Electoral Code of Conduct by political parties needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency by the IEBC in tackling these issues that continue to undermine the confidence of the citizenry. Additionally, the laws put in place should be applied and strictly complied with. Laws such as International Crimes Act, 2008 and Freedom of Information Act facilitate investigation and prosecution of crimes against humanity as well as enabling state and non-state ... view

• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion. This Committee is dealing with a very important issue. Even though you have advised us not to go into the content, the content does have a bearing on the time extension that is being requested. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am privy to the information, because I worked in the humanitarian sector and fundraised for medical equipment for a lot of our health centers, they did arrive around the same time with this MES. I remember our country literally rejecting the grant-based equipment, in favor of what ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. Sitting and listening to the interventions so far, perhaps, it is my non-legal mind, but I did not see a single reason we should not have continued with this. view
