• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we go on recess, I hope we will attend the conferences that have been scheduled. There is also a lot of work that we need to clear. If this Senate wants to be in history, it is time we cleared all the Bills that are pending. This will help our Senate to stand and the next Senate will appreciate what we have done. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is time for women to take over our country. If the men continue pushing our country to the direction they are doing, we will lose our country. Our children ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Bill. This will be my last Bill to talk about in the Senate. When I go to the National Assembly, I will look at it better. This Bill is about a budget that will take us to the end of our term. As we head towards campaigns we need to ask ourselves whether the Senate has performed its responsibility to guide and protect the counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the National Treasury for allocating the monies that we had requested for the four headquarters. ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, we should understand that this is a very sensitive matter. Last year when we were about to embark on this Bill, we had a lot of consultations with the Council of Governors and a lot of interruptions came in. If the Majority Leader has the Bill that he is talking about, he should meet with the Chairperson, sit and agree and then next week we move on without the interruptions we are having so that this Bill moves forward. The Bill deals with the lives of those who are currently employed at the counties. Governors ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. It brings out one of the key functions that have been very contentious between the national and the county governments. It is a Bill that has been well elaborated but also that has key issues that as we continue debating on it, we will have to look at.

• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Asante Bw. Naibu Spika. Kwanza nakushukuru na wale wote waliokwenda kule Vanga kutuwakilisha kumsindikiza ndugu yetu marehemu Sen. Boy Juma Boy kwa safari yake ya mwisho. Pia natuma rambi rambi zangu kwa familia yake, hasa mama na watoto. Nawaambia ya kwamba safari hii ni ya kila mtu. Sisi kama Maseneta tumwombe Mungu kwa sababu huyu ni ndugu wetu wa tatu aliyetuacha kwenda katika maisha ya mbinguni. Lakini ya muhimu ni kukumbuka yale marehemu Sen. Boy Juma Boy alisimamia na yale aliyopigania kwa watu wake wa Kwale. Tunawaambia ndugu, dada na mama wetu kule Kwale kwamba tuko pamoja nao kwa msiba ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order to mislead Kenyans that the electronic or Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) has started now yet even in the Select Committee we returned the process that we had in 2013? I do not know which electronic voting we are now talking about. The former Prime Minister introduced this process. Is it in order to tell Kenyans that we have changed the system, while we are still on the same process? We will still use the same gadgets in 2013. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, are we in order knowing very well that we curtailed public participation on this Bill? Now, we want to show Kenyans how we want to talk and debate yet the most important process in the Constitution is that public participation is very key. We have just forgotten we gave them a few days but here we are now fighting for our own time. Are we fair to Kenyans in a new year? view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, today is a very special day. It is a day that Kenyans would wish to see us do what we do when we have a Special Sitting. However, it looks as if it will also be a very sad say. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: If we decide to go into this in a divisive manner, then the sober leadership that the country is waiting from us will be elusive. It is also sad because the two co-chairs of the Select Committee came from this House. Being a member of that Select Committee, we should be asking ourselves, what happened? We were not supposed to come back to such a scenario but when I look at the report of the Select Committee, it is very clear. It indicates the way we are supposed to vote. It takes into account Article 38 of the Constitution. It ... view
