• 18 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to join you and other Members in sending condolences to the family of the late General, to the people of Kathiani, Machakos County and the entire country because he served all of us. This is a gallant son of Kenya who was loyal. I had the honour and privilege of meeting him when he was holding that position and he, indeed, felt a Kenyan; he protected Kenya. He protected Kenya against a coup in this country which would have brought misery in this country. So, he is a good example and a gallant son ... view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also add my voice to this very important Adjournment Motion. I also want to send my heartfelt condolences to the families and the people of Mpeketoni in Lamu. There are many mothers and children there who are crying for their fathers and who maybe do not even know where their next meal will come from. The people who have done this act should be condemned by all people of goodwill. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to add my voice to those who are saying that they doubt ... view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: If he has no power--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologize for answering the hon. Senator. I am not supposed to do so if anyone has not gone through you. It is not good to bring tribalism in this heinous act. Who is the head of the air force? view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very much in order. I think the Cabinet Secretary for Defence, Rachael Omamo, represents the female gender and in a high position. There are many other positions like permanent secretaries and several Cabinet Secretaries and those holding them are not from one ethnic group. I think the idea is to demonize a certain ethnic group so that there can be animosity. I think that is what breeds insecurity. view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: Did you take into account the time for points of order; the Injury time? view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: You were not keeping time? view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I wish to congratulate the Senate Majority Leader for bringing it for debate in this House. I think we all know the havoc that overdrinking has caused in this country. You just need to go to a market place or any small village and you will see all the young people, those who should be providing productive labour gathered there from as early as 9.00 a.m. or 10.00 a.m. drinking.

• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The greatest effort that Kenyans are making and, of course, the Government, is to reduce or eradicate poverty. We want to reduce poverty in our country and we cannot realise this goal as long as all the productive age of our young people are lost in drinking. They are the ones who are supposed to participate in farming and other productive activities that are going on in their areas. There is still a lot of land which is lying idle. You will find an old man who has sons with land. However, the land is ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: , the police, chiefs or whoever is charged with this, it is common knowledge, are bribed and do not do what they are supposed to do. We want to call on the Government and the Ministry in charge, the chiefs and the DOs. We appreciate the move that was made to sack chiefs who were serving in areas where the deaths occurred. We would like to see the same happening in areas where deaths have not occurred. We cannot wait and act only when deaths occur. We would like to see villages, townships and cities cleared of this undesirable practice. ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for Machakos in order to mislead this country, when we know that those who have been taken there are being tried and there is no evidence against them? You are presumed innocent until proven guilty. We also know that it is ODM which called for mass action and they were the architects of violence. Is he in order to mislead the House? view
