• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg you to spare me. From now henceforth, I will stay on the thin and straight line. Madam Temporary Speaker, I acknowledge you and Sen. Ndiema who is a long- serving administrator in this country. Therefore, he will be invaluable. Secondly, I would like to remind again this group that we do not want to see the shame of the Ninth Parliament when we were nominating Members to the EALA. We would like them to wake up to the political realities in the country at the moment. Today, we have the NASA and Jubilee. It is ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, sometimes when I am faced with a House as constituted this afternoon--- I can see Martha Wangari, Joy, Ken, Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o who is having a closed eye reflection. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I can see Sen. Wangari, Sen. Gwendo, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Okong’o. Because Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'- Nyong'o was having a closed eye reflection, I will not involve him in this particular statement. I am therefore tempted to speak just a little bit on the ToRs without pushing my luck because it leaves you and I the likely resource people who can draw on institutional memory so that we enrich these young newcomers in the Senate. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for the guidance and colleagues for the points of order. There is what we call in my culture the hunting tactics of a cat. A cat is extremely fast but when it finally realises that the prey has no way of escaping, it starts tapping the prey. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is not in doubt that Sen. Hassan is a distinguished legal mind in this country. However, is he confirming that he has not read the Treaty establishing the East African Community, which has got clear protocols, including the establishment of the EALA, East African Court of Justice and a Summit comprising Heads of State of the five member states? If this Senate recalls that, that Treaty was domesticated by the Parliament of Kenya, I request that the Chair requests Sen. Hassan to be short on that criticism, unless it is a ... view

• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this very important report that comprises a number of counties in respect of their performance in the utilization of the public funds at their disposal for the Financial 2013/2014. It is with a heavy heart that I note that findings we have made in these particular counties appear to cut across quite a number of counties. In spite of this, the resource person, the Auditor-General, we find that he is not adequately funded. That is why some of the reports have come to these House six months after the Constitutional deadline ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to define to him what I meant. I meant that party whose symbol is a cockerel and its real owner shocks us. He is an old man of around 99 years and he has a son whose name I will not say. That son has never left the nest. He keeps going back to a 99 year old man to consult on how to work with a son of another 80 year old so that they come and lord it over Kenyans. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have run away from it. I withdraw with immediate effect. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the County Government of Nyandarua, we found that a whopping Kshs62 million intended for construction of county headquarters had been misused. We have recommended that the County Government has not accounted for the money advanced to it in that financial year. For that reason, it should be recovered from the governor and whoever else that might have partaken of those public funds. The stories do not end there. They are many but let me end by just mentioning something because my time ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you. What would I do without you, Madam Temporary Speaker? view
