She had requested to be given three names by the county assemblies so as to carry out the job evaluation until 12th September. In August, when they met, they decided to follow up since ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Indeed, even his family members are wondering what he is doing in that office if he will end up dying. These are some of the things that Commissioner Serem must look at seriously. One of the things we do not understand, even in the Senate, is whether the Commissioner’s powers override the Constitution. These are jobs which were created after the new Constitution was passed. Since 2010, Commissioner Serem cannot tell us that she has not had time to evaluate people before they came into office. She should have known how many people would be coming to office and how ... view

• 10 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion knowing very well that for the whole of this week we have been talking about our country and the sadness that we see and how we have handled most of our institutions.

• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Motion knowing very well that tourism in our country is one of the sectors that gives us revenue and it is one of the sectors that the Government depends on in terms of collecting revenue.

Therefore, the cables will start at the airport. When tourists come, they can use the ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I would like to thank Sen. Karaba for bringing this Motion. Sometimes, we look at our country and wonder what really happened. We had a masterpiece of all this and one country called Malaysia took it and used it. Today, the country is admirable. Those are the brains of Kenyans who came up with the masterpiece. They told them how they could build a country and organise it, have good roads, clean water, sewerage systems and sanitation facilities. If you look at our country today you will see that the issue of ... view
