• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to urge the Senate, knowing very well that we are serious in our business and in what we do for the country, I hope that the attendance will be full so that the Cabinet Secretary does not come and find only five of us as we normally are. I urge this House to come up as the Upper House and ensure that we have a quorum. view
• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to be guided. I know that we had finished debate on this Bill. However, I wish to defer the division to a date that will be appropriate so that even the Mover of the Bill can reorganise himself. view
• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to also support this Bill knowing very well that it has been one year since we established the county assemblies. This Bill comes in to give powers and privileges to county assemblies to conduct their business without fear. However, we need to ensure that when we give these powers and privileges to county assemblies, they do not misuse them, but that they use them to ensure there is service delivery to the people. I hope the assemblies will note that the Senate appreciates what they are doing within the county governments. However, we need ... view

• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am on a point of information, so that Kenyans can understand more about this Bill. Indeed, as the Mover is moving the Bill, it is important to understand that in the country today, we have families that have been at logger heads because sometimes the husband is unable to sire children. Therefore, they will use the brother of the husband to get children. Sometimes these women will not be able to disclose that. I think what the Mover is trying to tell the country is that, we can use the same system to ensure that if ... view
• 25 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to thank Sen. Ongoro and also support this Motion knowing very well that for some years now, we have had challenges in terms of dealing with teenage pregnancies. Today, I want to bring to this House the issue of Chepkurkur Primary School in Mt. Elgon where last year, we saw 18 young girls get pregnant. These young girls were between the ages of 13 and 11 years. When you look at the research that was done, it is so shocking that today, we have different conceptions on how young people look at sex. ... view
• 23 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand on a point of order for guidance on a matter that has been going on and which has been occupying the media when we were on recess. This is the issue of separation of powers, with specific reference to Parliament. Of late, we have seen the Judiciary raise so much about Parliament by bringing in orders halting the work of different Committees. I just wanted guidance on how we can deal with the issue since it is affecting most of the work in this Senate and even in the National Assembly. I think it is ... view
• 2 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion and thank the National Assembly. However, it is also time that we looked at the issues that are affecting the Senate and the county assemblies. While we diligently take responsibility for what we do to ensure that our counties are running, we have come to realise that the governors take everything for granted. The Chairperson of the CRA must start looking at these issues critically without being biased or being in support of what the governors are doing. It is important that they are accountable. There is a trend that ... view
