• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, protect me from the laughter of Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki. He is laughing in a funny manner. The Governor for Migori lied to me when I was the Chairman of Public Accounts Committee (PAC). When we were fighting corruption in the sugar industry, the current The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I respect the Senator for Nyeri County especially during this difficult time of mourning but, is he in order to mislead this House and the country? He has said that the money would still go to the counties even if the Senate was not there. He knows very well that before any money goes to the counties, we have to pass the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. How would you decide how much goes to Kakamega County or Nyeri County? Could he clarify the point so that people in Nyeri do not ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to strongly oppose this Motion. Dear colleagues, what is wrong with us? Where are you going? You came here the other day and now you want to go back. The two months you were at home; what is it that you wanted to do that you did not do? We are shortchanging the taxpayer. We must work. I know on such critical things I am usually in the minority in this House. You will defeat me, but I will vote against. Having defeated me, I will go and tell you what I will ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I hope you will save my time. On a serious note, this tribal heat that people from certain tribes are going to be in your place is the very reason why we should change the government. I want to appeal to my colleagues in the NASA that it will be wrong for us to fight tribalism perpetuated by Jubilee by using tribalism. For example, we say that let us remove those two tribes and have our tribes take over. We want to embrace the message of inclusivity. We want to fight tribalism using inclusivity. We ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: I am appealing to the hoi polloi to open their eyes and join us. Their Senator has deserted them and he pretends in press conferences that he is unhappy about the deaths in Baringo, West Pokot and Elgeyo-Marakwet. He also pretends when he goes and dines with the same people who are issuing orders of shoot to kill. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, hoi polloi are the ordinary people; the people who walk barefoot. They are those who suffer under the weight of our Government simply because when they walk around the cities of Kenya, they see Tuskys and Naivas supermarkets owned by one of them yet they do not partake of the jobs and returns from those things. They should be more worried about the cost of bread and sugar which has more than trebled since President Uhuru took over Government. Oh Lord, take away this Jubilee Government! How can the poor people be suffering like this? Madam Temporary ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like you to guide my junior colleague from Kiambu that it is during debate on adjournment that a Member can speak to anything under the sun. I was saying that we cannot miss drugs in hospitals yet the Senator for Kiambu keeps on smiling. Children of five years die in the villages because you people have refused to take drugs there. Jubilee must leave Government. This cannot be right. The death of a boy--- view
• 1 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to support strongly this Petition ably prosecuted by the Senator for Nandi. The irony of this Petition is that the first body to sufficiently address the matters that are being prayed for is the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC), and they did so in their Report. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the irony is that the chairman of that body was a Nandi by the name of Bethwel Kiplagat. A further irony is that as requested by Sen. Cheruiyot, none of the successive governments have bothered to even just say they are sorry. Is ... view
• 1 Mar 2017 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It was approved yesterday and I was asked to request for it today. COLLAPSE OF A SECTION OF BUKHUNGU STADIUM IN KAKAMEGA COUNTY On 8th November, 2016, I rose pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b) to request for a statement from the chairperson of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the collapse of a section of Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega County while under renovation. The answer has never been brought. However, since we are now in a new session, I have been allowed to renew the requisition. I, therefore, request the chairperson to ... view
• 1 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you got it right. We need these answers as early as next week. It is very critical. Believe it or not, the construction has commenced with total disregard to the fact that it had collapsed. So, further billions are being sunk into this project. It needs to be stopped immediately. view
