• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is my opponent and not my friend. That was really with a light touch. What I was really saying is that, they can go to an advocate; in fact, there are advocates who can immediately apply for an Order of Mandumus . Since they have the certificate of order against the Government, let him apply for Mandumus . I am quite sure that if that Accounting Officer gets that order, he will go and plead and sleep at Treasury until he gets the money to pay. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this petition of the Abasuba People. It is called historical human rights violations, but I would rather term it as the rights of the minorities because the Abasuba are a minority within the Luo Community and minorities have rights everywhere. Although they have quoted Article 44(1) which is the correct article, they should also have referred to Article 56 of the Constitution which talks about minorities and marginalized groups; this would have helped fortify their petition. Article 56(b) talks about the minority groups having their cultural values, languages and practices protected. Kenya ... view

• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree with what Sen. M. Kajwang' has said. I would also like to add – and the Committee can look into that as well – that the third wave that came were of the Luhya. Therefore, there is some Luhya element among the Abasuba and that is why he tends to look like me, because there is some Luhya blood in him. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I support strongly the Statement requested for by Sen. Orengo. I support what Sen. Wetangula has said by way of information because I was also privy to it. Let us not take this as a territorial issue because Migingo Island and all these islands are in Kenya. We should not be seen as admitting that there is a territorial dispute. These are our islands. From what Sen. Wetangula has said, I am aware that when the two teams begun doing their work, they discovered all these islands are within Kenya. From that point onwards, there ... view

• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Hon. Senator to point a finger at the Deputy Speaker? Is that in order? view

• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to speak on this important debate. People may not realize how important this Bill is. The history of it starts from the last term. It was drafted by the current Governor of Nandi County. It was approved. He drafted it because as provided for by the Constitution, the Government Printer is under the national Government. The Government Printer only handles and gives priority to publications of the national Government. Although Bills have to be published by the Government Printer as provided for by the Constitution, there are also many ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in paying tribute to Hon. Matiba. I first knew him when I was in Form Two in Alliance High School. I knew him on the day he was appointed as the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education. On that day, he came to Alliance High School and we interacted with him. As Sen. Orengo said, he left Alliance High School with a good record. As a student, he was disciplined, focused and gave his best in whatever task he was given to do at the school. In fact, ... view
