• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. I appreciate the fact that my leader is a presidential candidate because I saw him launching his bid. But is he in order to say that indeed the headquarters of Jubilee is the fruit of stealing of Eurobond money while he is also a presidential candidate who is going to use businessmen in town and good friends in town? Will they also be the beneficiaries of Eurobond for the money that he is going to use to campaign? Is he not directly so a presidential candidate and he is about ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank you for the direction. Indeed, it will be an opportunity to understand a plenary process. As an institution we need to be very careful, so that we deal with the matter with decorum. After reading the allegations, the clerks should guide us through questioning. We should set rules that will confine us within what we received from the county assembly, so that we do not personalize issues and make the session a theatre. It should be serious business that will make people appreciate the Senate as a House that can deal with matters. view
• 5 Aug 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank the Senator for bringing the Motion. Indeed, this Motion will ensure that we disburse funds to the counties. The Schedule will for the time inform the counties and guide the Senators regarding how the National Treasury will disburse monies every month. Whenever there is a delay in disbursement of monies to any county, the respective Senator will be able to follow up. Having said that, it is worrying that while we are disbursing all these monies to the counties, we do not see a lot of impact. I want to ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also took an undertaking. When I went to the Ministry, I was told that at that time, they were going to Addis for a meeting. Therefore, they requested to be given time to give us the answers when they come back. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is important to give an answer as it is. I was sent a week ago and I went. The key person who is supposed to come and be interrogated to answer all the questions you are asking is the Principal Secretary for Health, Dr.Nicholas Muraguri. He was not around. If he is back today, then we can order that he be in this House on Tuesday in a kamukunji to be interrogated by the Members. At the time I went there, he was not there. He had left with the First Lady. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mine is just to remind the Chair about a month ago, I requested for a statement to understand why, for the last two to three years, the Administration Police (AP) have not been promoted. If that is answered, it will divide the country and the conflicts that we have been seeing in between the “blue force” and the APs. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I briefed the acting Chairperson of the Committee on Health, because the Chairperson has not been in the House for a while and the Vice Chairperson is also not around. I thought that Sen. (Dr.) Machage would have helped at that time, but he is also not in the House. I would like to ask Sen. Sijeny to give us up to Tuesday. It means that I will have to go for the statement myself and deliver it next Tuesday. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also want to thank Sen. Sijeny for bringing the amendment to the Constitution regarding a critical issue to our country. Article 261 (5) may be used against Parliament if we are unable to ensure that the two-thirds gender matter is determined. I also want to thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. Hassan and the Senate Minority Leader for their stand when this Bill was in the ‘lower House’. They stood firm and declared that it is time that we finish with the agenda. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator of Kakamega and the Vice Chair of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights should have waited until I finished my statement. I was just affirming. Of course, I know what my Senator and the Vice Chairperson of the Committee have done. I wish they could have waited. view
