• 11 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also add my voice to this Motion. I support this Motion because it is common knowledge that Kenya has really contributed to peacekeeping missions in the world. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in 2001, Kenya was rated number six of all the countries that have contributed to peacekeeping in the world. By 2006, Kenya had sent over 10,000 soldiers to peacekeeping missions all over the world. That shows that even the UN highly values Kenya and Kenya stands tall in the international scene. Our foreign policy is well known. ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe that the intention of the soldiers was not to steal because they are as human as we all are. If you get very thirsty and there is water there, you would take it. It probably was going to go up in flames to be burnt like everything else which was being burnt there. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to assert that our soldiers were definitely not stealing at the Westgate Mall. They might steal somewhere else, but they did a commendable job at the Westgate Mall. I was emotionally involved and I can still say that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have very brilliant soldiers and many qualified Kenyans for any job in the international arena. As a Government, we should do everything to make sure that our people get those positions like others. I know the Government put a lot in training our soldiers and we should even add more and ... view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also would like to support the Motion on the Floor and very strongly so. This Motion is very clear. I want to also remember that I was present in the other Parliament when the honorable Senator presented his Motion and we passed it unanimously, and it was not even the first time. This matter has been revisited again and again, and I believe the question here is the implementation. The law is very, very clear as we have seen it here. Section 10(1)(b) of the Kenya National Examinations Council Act says:- “award certificates or ... view

• 23 May 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senators from that side to mislead the public about the payment of Kshs1.4 billion and to utter things they cannot prove and have no proof, other than what was in the newspapers, yet this House does not follow newspaper articles? Is it in order for a House that makes laws to insinuate that when a court of law in another land gives orders, that a country cannot follow, yet we claim that we follow the rule of law? Do we follow the rule of the jungle, or are we ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also speak on the Motion on the Floor, which I do support. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me start by reminding the House that we passed a law in the National Assembly on forgiveness and the truth, justice and reconciliation commission. I 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
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do appreciate that they have been mentioned, but in passing; they have not explained it as well as the others. As a young girl growing up, I saw a lot of injustices. I saw a girl being shot through the stomach, the intestines were coming out and she put a shuka around herself because she was taking food to the so-called ‘terrorists.’ She was shot by home guards and what we used to call ‘johnies.’ They are forgotten. I would say the real heroes who brought Independence here are especially those we call the Mau ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for bringing this Motion; it is really a very serious Motion. It is a Motion in which we should come up with a way of its implementation. Even if we do not get everybody together, we should start somewhere. There are some issues which are urgent, like that one of hon. Matiba, Rubia and others. There are also some families who we might not be able to give compensation to, like the Shikuku family, Mrs. Kimathi and others, but we should find somewhere we can start and ... view
