• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: I like the way the judiciary has started mobile courts. I wish we had the mobile courts in all our busy highways. You would see how the traffic would open up. That is the only way to manage Kenyans today. They should be penalised and be made to pay Kshs3,000 on the spot for not stopping and tomorrow, if somebody sees the red light, they will stop. That is the only law we understand. It is very difficult for us to understand laws written in a dignified manner. We want to be pushed. That is what Nairobi County should start ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: hours. Therefore, the Government must understand that as much as we are evolving and God is blessing us to have cars, it is important to have a different mode of transport so that Kenyans can start using it. I know that Kenyans would prefer the train we were using to go to Kisumu. The challenge is that before we go into the bureaucracies of tendering and eating half of the tender and getting to know what somebody’s cut is--- view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am not talking about the tender that is coming. I have said very well and you will remember that we gave this work to an institution. We told them to do the work. Up to now, instead of a railway, everything just died. Kenyans sold all the assets that belonged to the railway thinking that we would see one new railway line. So, with the new Government, we hope that, in two years time, Kenyans will see a new railway line with real locomotives that will assist them in transport. I beg to support. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also want to support the amendment, knowing very well that now that--- view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to support the Motion as amended by saying that it would be good for Kenyans to see transformation happening at the same level in every county. One of the challenges that we are going to face is that we have not been able even to harmonize the blueprint, so that in every town you can see something similar. You will feel proud and part of Kenya. If we are not careful, every county will just decide to move on their own and implement what they feel is good. But it ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: order to bring transport closer to our people, the next question will be: How do we ensure that those who have put up buildings along the roads are not disadvantaged? Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 8 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also stand to support the Motion and I also want to bring in a perspective that it is not only in North Eastern region but also in Mombasa, Lamu and other counties in the coast region. These regions face the same challenges in terms of parental identification and citizenship. Therefore, it is indeed our responsibility as the Senate to look at the whole issue in broad perspective without narrowing it to North Eastern region. This will also help Kenyans to understand the issue better. We need to accept that we have faced many challenges while dealing ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the amendments and to say that just the way Sen. (Dr.) Kuti said; our challenge is not the institutions because we have very good brains and intentions. Our challenge is how we have decided our country should be run through a corruption process where money comes first. That is the biggest challenge we face; where money comes first and Kenya comes number two. Even when we see what happened at Westgate; even when people are dying, some went and decided they want to become rich. We even decided that we ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in Senate: Ask Kenyans, because there were Kenyans there at that time. But it is not a laughing matter; it is something we need to ask ourselves, especially for those who now are saying we are here to change with the new Constitution. I believe the Mover of the Motion has worked for the Government for many years. He has looked as his people suffer and he thought that with the new dispensation this time, his people must also benefit, which is true. But then we, as Kenyans, morally, we have to come back and ask God to help us. But do ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in Senate: . We have some Kikuyus and young men from other communities who have joined Al Qaeda. Therefore, it is a security issue which we need to address. Even if our people are poor, do we really need to go that direction? This is not the best way to fight poverty among our people. What has happened to us to make us feel that we have no The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
