• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to support and appreciate the work that was done by this Committee especially within such a short time. They were able to put their issues together quickly and make a resolution. The report is very clear and very well articulated because it gives the position of the National Assembly, the Senate and the amalgamated position. It is also important to note that there was public participation. Therefore, the views of the public have been taken on board. I would like to congratulate Sen. Kivuti and Hon. Amina, who were the Chair and Vice ... view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me start by congratulating Sen. Sijeny for the effort she put into formulating this Bill and the passion she showed, putting into account that we are talking about nearly 52 per cent of women who most of the time carry these issues, but not forgetting that men are also involved in one way or another. This is because, when there is a family that is missing a child, then it affects both the man and the woman. So, we are talking about a big proportion that is going to be touched by this ... view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I think it is never about the number but the level of preparedness of our security officers wherever they are. I know in various places where we wanted to show our might, we have done that very well. We have demonstrated it even here within our precincts. That is what gives people a sense of security. They know that they are well protected and that they can go back to where they need to be. It will be very defeatist for us to move the university to another place because it will show that we ... view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just need an assurance and the progress that has been made in terms of how the future security will be looked into. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I stand to support this Bill and congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for going down to the most basic level especially putting into consideration the complexity of running any entity, let alone a country and all that it entails. You need as many administrative and managerial boundaries as there are possible so that within each, you can cascade from the highest level to the lowest level. In the formulation that we have had where we are going to the lowest, to an assistant chief, I think we have missed the village elder ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, human trafficking has really become a big problem. We have not done enough in Kenya. I thank Sen. Mbura for bringing this Petition to the Floor. I want to add an important aspect that needs to come out as the Petition is being processed, and that is, what has been done to educate the young girls and women as they are leaving their countries to the countries where they are going in terms of what to expect and what to do when things go wrong. Even as we go ahead to make these contracts, we need ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to make my contribution to the Exposition of Public Policy contained in the Address of the President delivered on Thursday 26th, March 2015. Let me start by informing the House of an experience that I had yesterday evening as I tried to help a young man sort out his taxi business. He had been caught and he did not have a particular licence. I looked at the humility and spirit that this person had in terms of making a living and being able to survive in Kenya with all ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply. I thank Senators for all their contributions which have really brought new perspectives and many ideas into thought. I think they are going to be very critical even as we move the amendments that are very necessary in this Bill. Those comments and contributions are not going to be taken for granted. As we go into the Committee of the Whole, we are going to take into consideration the deliberations that have been made to ensure that at the end of the day, we finally put into place an Act ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Pursuant to Standing Order No. 54(3), I request that the putting of the question be deferred to an opportune time when we are able to vote. Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Bill, which is very timely. This Bill is timely especially at a point where the public service, which is a key sector – and at this point I think everybody interacts with the public service – for a long time has operationalized itself and operated in a way that is just meaningful for itself. It is, therefore, very important to put into perspective Chapter 13 and also Chapter 6 on leadership and integrity – which I think also borders on the way people perform – and also Chapter 4 ... view
