• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of teacher’s salaries or payment is very crucial and we need to pay them. But the issue of beating about the bush and saying that the laptop initiative is this or that, that is not the thing. Let us stick to the issue, Senators, because we have been talking about the laptops and other issues. Let us call a “spide” a “spide” and not a big spoon. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I said; let us call a “spide” a “spide”; a spade a spade, not a spoon, but a spide. Okay? It was a slip of the tongue. view

• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, anytime we talk of issues, let us not use a point which is not there. I have been hearing some learned Senators talking of something which is not there, because we are talking about teachers’ salaries, and teachers need to be paid. If a Senator is mindful enough, let him contribute in the problem solving process, but not just talking something which is irrelevant, like talking about laptops, which we had discussed some weeks back. Today, we are here to support the teacher’s demand for payment of their salaries and we actually plead--- I beg our Executive ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: I have given two teachers appointment letters to go and teach the people down there; I want everyone to take this example. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale should not only take issues and oppose them. Let us take the important part of the Motion that you are discussing. It is not only the Executive to blame, but every one of us has contributed to this problem. In fact, the previous Government is the problem, caused by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the agent of all these problems that we are encountering today. We wanted to solve this problem today. We fail to ... view

• 22 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I think there has been a ruling on this matter with regard to Governors and Members of the Lower House. Is Sen. Karaba in order to dwell on an aspect that has already been ruled on? view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Nashukuru Bw. Spika. Mimi nikiwa nimechaguliwa kutoka Tana River, jambo la barabara likigusiwa, kwanza, ninashtuka kwa sababu kwangu ni kama kulisahaulika kwa muda mrefu. Hivi nikisimama, watu wa Tana River wameaangalia kwangu; kuna sehemu ambapo kutoka enzi ya Kenya kuanza miaka 50 iliyopita, utaona kilomita 160 ambazo kwamba kuna wananchi karibu 10,000 walionipigia kura, na hakuna barabara, hakuna hospitali, hakuna usaidizi wowote ambao wanaweza kupata. Watu hawa ni wafanyi biashara; watu hawa ni wakulima; watu hawa ni Wakenya kama wengine, na hakuna barabara hata ile ya murram. Kwa hivyo, naunga Hoja hii mkono ili Kenya iwe sawa na barabara ziweko ... view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to thank you and my fellow Senator, Sen. Zani, who has moved this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion really touches me. This is because Tana River is most hit by the floods. Floods have been recurrent every rainy season and the Government response has been inadequate. These floods have been as a result of failure to act on early warning. Floods in Kenya have killed at least 70 people and displaced hundreds of thousands. They have also destroyed property, crops and infrastructure worth millions in most counties across the country. ... view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Kwa Hoja ya Nidhamu. Nafikiri tuko hapa kwa haja muhimu ya kufanya shughuli muhimu ya Seneti. Hatuko hapa kusikiliza lugha nyingi. view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. I belong to the pastoral community which has lagged behind in all aspects of life because the education system in Kenya did not favour them. About 95 per cent of the people in Tana River are pastoralists. They have lagged behind in all aspects of life due to illiteracy. There is need to share all aspects of development equally, including schools and universities. I support the Motion because it would favour us. We have been suffering for long. view
• 17 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is just to know something about the Committee. I think the committee Members were selected. I would like to know who selected the Committee Members, what criterion was used and the requirements of being a Member of the Committee. view
