• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: ): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I noted that the Cabinet Secretary has acknowledged that he is new. Limb (a) is the foundation of the Question. Therefore, the fairest you can give him is for him to go back and come up with a proper answer on a different day. Otherwise, we will give him the impression that he can come to the House and answer his question. He can only answer the questions of the House. I request. view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to ride on the Statement by Sen. Kavindu, the Senator for Machakos County. When Kenyans who are suspects in drug trafficking are arrested, it is important that the Government of Kenya should do everything possible to ensure that they are given a fair trial and nothing else. I do not understand what the Senator is looking for when she talks of repatriation of victims? You call criminals of drug trafficking victims; people who mess up our children. If anything, once the Government is satisfied that a criminal has had fair trial, it should ensure that ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. To me, seconding this Motion is very significant. I believe if the recommendations of the Committee that sat on the NADCO were to go through, there would be momentous change in the way we practise politics, govern the country and live. I, therefore, want to strongly support and highlight just a few reasons why I think this is important. I have full confidence in the membership that sat on NADCO and also the Committee on JLAC in the National Assembly and JLACHR in this House. Therefore, I would remain in total agreement with most, if ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I say so with a degree of pride that I was a Member of the original bipartisan committee that gave birth to NADCO. I see a few things that stand out, and one I would like to speak to very quickly is the two-thirds gender rule. The two-thirds gender rule has remained a vexing issue since the new Constitution was promulgated. It does not matter that many attempts, I believe up to 13, have been made to achieve the two-thirds gender rule. What matters is why it failed the first time, second time, all the ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Secondly, the people from special groups, like People with Disabilities (PwDs). I do not know how they get nominated. We should allow PWDs to be the principal decision makers and subject the beneficiaries to a vote. Finally, on this particular point, the people who get through these special seats, the 47 women elected in the National Assembly, plus whatever number we shall add them, should be allowed to run for that election only once. A woman MP representing a county should not be allowed to be re-elected more than once. They should learn the ropes in the first five years. ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: This is the way to go. Today, you are on top, tomorrow you are not. Today, you are on the strong side of the wind, tomorrow you are not. We want to build a country that gives all Kenyans equal opportunity. I see, for example, some noise building around certain members of the Cabinet; that probably X, Y or Z might be removed so as to pave way for the new look broad-based Government. I want to send an early warning that this will be wrong. Whoever is starting to raise issues on Dr. Debora Mulongo Barasa, if you think ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: After we voted in 1992, there was no closure until people jostled and before we could know it, there was something called cooperation because there was no closure of the presidential election. In 2007, there was no closure of the presidential election. It went on until our country went bust, only coming to be calmed because of the so-called Nusu Mkate . There must be a closure of a presidential election. Fast forward, 2017, you could not get closure of the presidential election. It went on with a lot of noise, loss of lives, destruction of properties until some Mongrel ... view
