• 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
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank all the Members for their contributions. I welcome constructive criticisms. That is why it is called peace. Anyone who has done peace and security, we always say, “in each way, there is peace”. I plead with the Senate Minority Leader that we are not creating projects of peace. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that we can monitor these peace projects because they are already there. Many people say they are doing peace projects. You talked about Ksh400,000 that was given to the IDPs. If we had a monitoring structure, ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support The Public Appointment (Parliamentary Approval) (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2016). You will realise that for the past four years, we have had different appointments that have taken place in our country. The Senate is a parliamentary institution that also works very closely with different appointees that we have today. These include the Cabinet Secretaries (CS), parastatal board members and many others. Considering the work we do, we have to relate with others and keep the relationship. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will realise that most of the time when you ... view
• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want both the Governor’s side and the County Assembly to clearly give clarity to the people to tell them because four months down the line you have not done your budget, you have not done your appropriation and we are now in September. When will this county start its work? How will you ensure all your workers, especially your health workers are not going to go on strike? Secondly, the Governor to explain to us what happened to the CEC of Finance who was from the Treasury and therefore definitely he was a competent ... view
