• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: on board. I belonged to the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity with Sen. Sakaja in the Eleventh Parliament, him being in the National Assembly and I in the Senate. We did this in that Committee, and we were able to solve so many issues. This was because everybody was at the table, and they could quickly give their input, which helps to a large extent and which is very important. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: The other issue is the one of borders, boundaries and border disputes. The Chairperson mentioned it in passing, and maybe there will be a report to the House. However, it would be nice to also just assess to what extent these problems have been reduced; have they been solved or whether there are issues coming up. Are we moving further to actualizing and sorting out these border disputes? That will help us to be more pragmatic in the solutions that will come. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Lastly, Madam Temporary Speaker, I join you in welcoming the students from Homa Bay County, and wish them well both in their session here at the Senate and in their very important lives. view

• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to thank Sen. Halake for the Report from the Committee on Information and Technology. I have one issue which I think is very key and important. This has to do with a situation whereby we are coming up with Bills in the parliamentary system; whether it is from Senate or National Assembly, and at the same time the Ministry is also processing something. I want to commend this Committee, that they just proceeded with the Bill because the timelines of the Bills are not determinant on any other factors. You might be ... view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important to put these issues on the table, to say that if anybody initiates a Bill – like you have done in your Committee – then you move with it. This is because I know that the Ministry executives also sometimes have their own interests with specific Bills, and want to direct them in a certain way. I do not think we should ever lose our autonomy as a House. We should also fight for what we started and support each other to its success. view

• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Cherargei, of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, for that comprehensive report. We have heard that you are handling many Bills within the Committee and we are looking forward to their completion and presentation in the House. The idea of also merging some of the Bills is a discussion you would have with some of the specific Members. Madam Temporary Speaker, I just want to touch on the last issue that Sen. Cherargei talked about, on the responsibility of Parliament. This has been a big problem from the Eleventh ... view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, this is an issue that has now spilled into the second phase, from the Eleventh Parliament to the Twelfth Parliament. Therefore, through the process that you want to engage in, please ensure that this is the last time we have to tackle this issue. It should be so, so that even as we work on Bills and struggle with various legislations, we have clarity about the trajectory of those legislations. Thank you. view
