• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. One of the parameters that Members did not seem to have understood and which some of the Members have raised a lot of concern about is population. I want to clarify on it. Population is a key parameter because all over the world in anything that you deal with people, it is the numbers that count. When we vote, when we create constituencies, counties and all those institutions, people go by the population. This is because when you are allocating money for health, you are buying medicine for people. I want to ... view

• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I was explaining the population parameter. Again, this thing is about devolution and counties. I want to clarify and discuss one important factor because there are Members who have tried to relate devolution to the CDF. CDF is the fund that deals with development projects only; you are building facilities like infrastructure. In county governments, it is about service delivery. Buying medicine is not like building offices. This is why you cannot say let 75 per cent of the money be shared out equally because of the number of people you are going to provide services. There ... view

• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to start by thanking all the Members who have contributed to this very useful Motion. Not in the least, I also want to express my great appreciation for the speech by the Hon. Member for Homa Bay. I listened to it and I think he did it very eloquently.

• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I propose that Clause 2(a)(I)(d) be amended by--- view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, this amendment is not about parts (a), (b), and (c) which are there. It is what is on the main Bill and what he is amending; for example, when he says delete (b), which says the Commission will provide reserve police The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 11 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also add my voice and condole with the family of the deceased Member of Parliament. I also condemn the merciless killing of the honourable Member of Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ordinary carjacking where people are put into boots of cars and taken round the whole night in Nairobi is a common feature nowadays. Many Kenyans are in boots of cars throughout the night in Nairobi. As far back as in 2005-2006, I remember, hon. Martha Karua was put in a car. This is a matter that has been there. However, what happened the other day was ... view
