• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank the Senator for Kakamega County and he proved that anyone can be in Kakamega at any time and you will be able to have a meeting. What we now want the Government to do is to ensure that those who were caught are investigated and justice must be done. We had one person who passed on courtesy of the hooliganism. When you ask who brought the teargas; it is obvious that governors in this country are able to do anything. They are “small presidents” in every county and they have ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Bw. Spika wa Muda, nafikiri mwenzangu alikuwa anamaanisha waathiriwa waliopata hasara kutokana na ghasia za uchaguzi. Hata hivyo, watu hao waliathiriwa kwa sababu za kisiasa. view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is my friend, the Senator for Machakos, in order to say that the President would have told the Speaker to let the Members demonstrate yet he knows very well that with our new constitutional dispensation, he is a visitor? He can only come and give us an address and leave. He is not even allowed to interrogate his Address. There is no provision in the Standing Orders that allows him to intervene. view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank the President for addressing us, which is a constitutional mandate. I also want to raise a few key issues that he talked about. He asked us to salute our heroes who have been in Somalia fighting the Al Shabaab. We know that it was a requirement by the African Union (AU) that we deploy the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). Therefore, Kenya deployed her army to Somalia courtesy of the AU and the agreement with the United Nations (UN) to have the AMISOM taking care of us. We know that ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, are we in order, especially those who have worked in Government for the last 50 years - to judge each other? When we start to do so, we will discover we have many skeletons and we will open up so much. The President said the truth. We are all thieves. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am willing. We are thieves and when Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale named Sen. Murkomen and Hon. Duale as thieves, yet when it was reported that he stole sugar money, was he referred to as a thief? view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I withdraw knowing well that we are all thieves. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I withdraw and apologise each of us must reflect as we speak. I withdraw and apologise. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education regarding the management of Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. In the Statement, the Chairperson should address the following:- 1. What informed the decision of the University to employ Prof. Fredrick. A. Otieno as the Vice Chancellor, considering that he resides in South Africa. 2. Why has the student population been dropping since the appointment of the new Vice Chancellor? 3. The number and nature of court cases involving the university that are pending in court. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have no interest. I think my Senator has an interest because the wife works there. So, it will be fair if we table the documents in this House. I have asked for the statement so that we deal with the issue, which is also in court. It will be wrong for my Senator to tell me to declare my interest when he knows very well that I have no interest. This is a matter that is about to burn Masinde Muliro University. We need to deal with it as the Senate. view
