• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion. While we talk about ceilings today, we also need to understand that the country is watching the institution of the Senate. We have had a lot of consultations since November when this issue was raised by the County Assemblies Forum. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we talk about the ceilings, I know that it is not a friendly subject but, indeed, it is also within the Constitution that we ensured that we have county assemblies. Therefore, it would be very unfortunate if we looked at the institutions of ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to thank the President for giving us his second Speech having been in office for two years. However, let me start with the issue of values and principles. As we enter into Easter, I would like to refer you to John 13:21. It says:- “The Lord said, who is he? And Jesus responded, it is he to whom I shall extend the dipped bread.” When you look at --- view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank God that we have very many Christians here. Yes, I said the Bible and the book of John. It is the Holy Bible. I thought in the world we had one, but I am sorry it has to be the Holy Bible. Indeed, when you look at that verse that is what the President did. He gave us a Report and said; “I shall extend to those who are supposed to do the duty of what Kenyans would wish to see.” I appreciate Article 10 of our Constitution that binds us all ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to debate it. That is why I sought that clarification. It is Kshs300,000 for a single phase. In fact, the wire passes in front of those homesteads so it a matter of dropping them. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would have already paid by the time they table their report here. Anyway, that is for another day. I also want to bring to the attention of the House to the Report, on page 15, where we are talking about Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), which I agree with. However, I plead with the Government to rehabilitate the arrival terminus. The one we used after the fire disaster is now used as a parking bay. I hope it will be done very soon. I know we have a very good departure lounge and we need ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a House of records. Is it in order for my Senator to bring up that issue, while we know very well that Hon. Charity Ngilu was vetted? If there were any issues about the--- view

• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: If it was a circus, the Constitution is very clear, somebody would have petitioned. You cannot leave somebody in office for two years and say that it is a circus. Indeed was it Hon. Charity Ngilu in that Report or who? It is very wrong because as you were cleared about the issue of Tokyo, she was also cleared. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Indeed, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it would be unfortunate for me if this is how we will be doing things; that, indeed, we will drag in even the names of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether the Senator for Kakamega is in order to say that the Ministry of Devolution went to Kibera to open some roads when he knows very well the work done by the Ministry. We just amended the law and decided that the National Youth Service will go through the counties. Is he in order to say that it is a national function that does not work with county governments? view
