• 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
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. First, I want to thank the RBC for ensuring that the new Senator, Sen. Cheruiyot is now able to discharge his duties in terms of legislation. I want to make it clear that it is important that as we put them in the committees, they are able to attend and be part and parcel of the decisions being made. I hope Sen. Mungai will be able to attend sittings of the Joint Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunities. This is a critical committee that he needs to be attending for ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: He is a Member of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget and for a while we have not seen him. Going forward, I hope we will deal with the issue of billboards. The Bill that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. brought to the House is a critical amendment to bring sanity in the counties. Every project in the counties is accompanied by a billboard bearing the photos of the governor. Since these are public resources being spent, we should stop this practice. Even projects initiated by the President do not bear the pictures of the President. Governors should know that ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion and I thank the Senators because we have worked together and finalized some critical Bills. However, we still have a lot pending that we have to work on. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
