• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, maybe it is the English language. Let me rephrase it. It will be unfortunate if our people can only get services when we have leaders or politicians visiting. Under the new Constitution, everyone has a right to a good road. Good roads should crosscut every county. It is not only the politicians who should have tarmacked roads to their homes. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before I table any evidence, he also needs to show us where the government spent its money because he is the one who brought the issue. That is why I defended my Catholic Church. He is the one who claimed that the Catholic Church used government funds. So, he should substantiate that. I will go to Bishop Njue, and bring the documents of the Catholic Church. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the Catholic Church hears this coming out of the Senate, they will not be happy because I know that every Catholic view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since we now have a new Cabinet Secretary, I would want to see what will happen. I do not want to judge him now because he has just been appointed to the Ministry. Let us wait and see, maybe he will work differently. Perhaps, the other one was overloaded because environment and water are two huge sectors that cannot be dealt with together. I beg to support. view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, are we in order to discuss this matter now when we know very well that in 2013 we had the diaspora in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda voting? Indeed, during that time the gerrymandering was done by none other than the former Prime Minister, promising Kenyans in the United States and United Kingdom that they will vote through the consulate. What has changed today for us to start thinking about the law? What law did we use at that time to identify those consulates? view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I understand the debate and I know he was the Minister for Foreign Affairs at one point. Is he in order to tell the country that when we did the elections in 2013, we never followed the law? We wanted Kenyans in diaspora vote, but they could not because we did not have enough resources. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget regarding the Status and performance of the leather industry, which the Government in 2013 identified as a priority for development. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- 1. Explain why the country still imports over 90 per cent of its footwear requirements at a great cost in terms of foreign and employment creation. State whether the policy in place to control dumping of footwear in the country kills local production. 2. Explain the specific measures the Government has put in ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to thank the House for giving us the opportunity to be in that team. However, it is time that we also reflected and asked ourselves what clear recommendations we, as a House, would wish to have as we move forward. It would be important for the Senate to be involved in the consultation stages of amending or drafting the Bill, so that we do not have such a scenario in the future. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank the Members of the Committee from the National Assembly, particularly the Member for Ruaraka ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, we had the numbers at the start of this Sitting. However, after debating for two hours, we are short of numbers. I can see six Members coming in. It is also important to note that our Muslim brothers feel a bit offended by the Alcohol Drinks Control (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.5 of 2014). They have told me so. view
