• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senate Minority Leader for bringing this issue. It will be absolutely wrong for this Senate to start debating about Governor Joho’s security when we know very well that the deputy governor for Mombasa’s security was withdrawn and her vehicle taken away, yet we never made it an issue. We want to defend the same governor now. I have a video here. I have given it to Citizen TV and the IEBC observers. A female Member of the County Assembly (MCA) was stripped naked. The police were there, the governor stood there, but did ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I said I appreciated what the Senate Minority Leader has done. I think it will be very wrong for this Senate to discuss about security when the Deputy Governor of Mombasa County underwent the same with the same Governor. How come we did not make it an issue? She is a governor and in a position that she should be protected. She was intimidated and told that she is a mole campaigning for another party and that is why they did that to her. So, today, the Governor becomes superior to ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not want us to lose my line of thought. There is no way in the institution of the Senate we can come here and say that within a county, where we have a governor and a deputy governor, one can have better privileges over the other. When somebody stands and says it was on the media, even this was directly on the media. So, my bone of contention is that we cannot look at what women are doing and say because it is female gender,--- The electronic version of ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Senate must be fair to both persons. My bone of contention is that you cannot bring one mistake and say the other one was not a mistake, since it was in the media and yet you have just told us that the issue was breaking news in the media. Even the other news was in the media and the Senator for Siaya cannot tell us that we have policemen who have been killed because of issues they have seen. People will also say the bodyguard of Sen. Mbuvi was killed. Was it because of the ... view

• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 45(2)(b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation regarding boat safety in the Kenyan lakes. In the statement, the Chairperson should address the following:- (a) State the number of boat accidents that have occurred in the Kenyan lakes in the past two years and the number of casualties per lake. (b) Explain whether the Government has put in place safety regulations for life jacket usage, boat capacity and lighting of boats and whether the regulations are adhered to; and, (c) Explain the ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second. I was in the RBC meeting and the Senate Minority Leader knows very well what we agreed on. We agreed that he should sit down with the Senate Majority Leader and agree. That is what the Chair said. So, it will be very wrong for us to canvass here when we agreed very well that they must sit down as two leaders and lead the House. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second that we adjourn the debate and go back on what the Chair had requested us to do. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. According to the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, library services are a devolved function. As we discuss this Bill, we need to ensure library services are devolved to serve our people at county levels. However, it is a pity that land where libraries were to be built in counties has been grabbed. Although the Transition Authority (TA) would up its activities, we must make sure we repossess land that was grabbed and build libraries in our counties. We must take the inventory of all existing assets of library facilities. I hope ... view

• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Mover be now called upon to reply to the Motion. view
