• 8 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in appreciating the visitors from my county which is Kakamega. I know they have faced many challenges. In the report of the Controller of Budget, they were unable to bank all their local revenue. Therefore, queries will be raised. As we move towards elections, I would like to urge the women to go for substantive seats. We should support each other to be elected so that we manage the resources that we are given by the national Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Kakamega, we have stood firm. We have a governor who ... view
• 8 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Senate because it has made us proud by seeing young girls seated in the Senate. In some few hours, history will judge us that women in the world can lead powerful nations. Today, these young girls will remember that we can transform our nation. You will learn a lot. Thirdly, you will be there to see that the USA, the land of opportunity, will be led by a woman. Thank you. view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank all the Senators. These are Kenyans who came to our country in 1910. It is time we recognised the Makonde people as Kenyans. It is a pity that people who came here in 1910 do not have The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the adoption of the Report. I also thank the Chairperson. I think among the Chairpersons in this House, we always salute the Senator for Nyeri County in the education sector and now in ICT and many others.He has always been committed and ensures that when he takes over, he shows exemplary leadership in terms of achieving what every committee wishes to achieve. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have seen the challenges we have faced with many Government tenders and access to information. I thank the President for ensuring that his Government ... view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In Parliament we make laws. When one withdraws Kshs1 Million, he needs to substantiate the source. The law requires transfer to where the owner wants to use it. Therefore, he need not carry lots of money. It is a risk to the owner. This is intended to remove the risk from individuals. If we want to help our country we must first embrace ICT. It will help us to be more accountable in all that we do in this country. With ICT, our people will be able to know what is happening within and ... view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for Homa Bay in order? He knows very well that, that proposal was from the CORD Coalition and we adopted it. I thank God because he is now telling Kenyans that what we told them is true; it can never happen. Is he in order to say that I am looking at him interestingly, yet it was their proposal? view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think there are only two things that the Chair should tell us: One, whether after all this happened, the officer’s fire arm was tested and it was confirmed that he is the one who killed this girl. Therefore, the Government must be responsible for compensation. We cannot run away from the problem. The Inspector-General (IG) of Police should be told that when it comes to innocent lives especially of a child who will in future take care of her parents. So, I think if that is what killed this girl, the Government should compensate ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the National Cohesion and Integration (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.6 of 2016) be read a Second Time. The object of this Bill is to amend the National Cohesion and Integration Act of 2012 so as to enable the National Cohesion and Integration Commission to effectively monitor peace building projects in our country. You realise that the National Cohesion and Integration Act was enacted in 2008 to encourage national cohesion and integration by outlawing discrimination on ethnic grounds and provide the establishment of powers and functions of the National Cohesion and Integration ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I did not want to interrupt my leader but is he in order to say that because the Deputy President contributed Kshs18 million to harambees in one week, he looted the money yet he cannot substantiate and tell us it is from which coffers that the Deputy President has gotten the money? The Deputy President has many friends and I think even the Minority Leader has friends. Could he confirm that when he will be a presidential candidate, he will never receive Kshs1 billion from his friends? view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Kenyans will look at this Bill and think on a different thing yet we are trying to sort out a problem. We know we have communities and we are going to elections. We have challenges that are facing many communities where this National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) runs away from its responsibility because they cannot do it. Having said that, I did not want to bring the issue of Lang’ata Road Primary School. I know and the Minority Leader knows well that the title deed never read Langa’ta Road Primary ... view
