• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was nice to note that during the Grand Coalition Government, the number of deaths in Bungoma had started going down as exemplified, where in 2012, there were 10,288 deaths and the figures went down to 6,207 in 2013. From the time Jubilee took over, the deaths have started going up significantly. Could the Chairman tell us whether it is the failure of the Jubilee Government or Bungoma County Government that is the reason for increased deaths as exemplified by the table that they have given us on Page 2? view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to beg the Chair not to belittle my question. If he was not the doctor that he is, I would have forgiven him. He said clearly that the number of deaths was going down during the time of the Grand Coalition Government in 2012/2013. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On Page 2, Row 3 of Table 1. They have stated that in 2013, the figure was 6,207. In 2014, it increased to 6,302 and to 7,264 in 2015. This was happening in a county where the amount of noise from the Governor that he is working with the Jubilee government for purposes of getting development was increasing. I would like the Chairman to tell us whether it is the Jubilee Government that is failing at the national level or the county government failing at the county level or both because it is very serious. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. For the record, allow me to congratulate you for coming to the Chair properly. The procedure of the Speaker coming to the Chair is ceremonial. I have seen many at times when you are not in the Speaker’s Chair, Members of the Speaker’s Panel play around with that ceremonial role. I congratulate you, and I hope they are all going to learn from you. We want to uphold the dignity of this institution that we call the Senate. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to strongly support this amendment. I am cognizant of the fact that the gist of this amendment is simply to enable the commission to effectively monitor peace building projects in this country. I support this amendment because unless legislation is clear and properly in place, these projects can be abused. As I speak, I know of initiatives in Kakamega County, specifically Khwisero sub- county, where some group tells women to assemble at place ‘x’ and that they will get an allowance of Kshs1,000 after a meeting to speak to the issue of peace ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am sure she has a point. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for informing me. If she cared to listen to me, I started by saying that the greatest inequality for opportunity obtains in two areas. First is lack of equality in access to resources. Secondly, access to appointments in the public service. Therefore, when Hon. Kaparo spoke to what is happening to universities, again, that was diversionary. We want him to go to appointments in the national Government where - unfortunately, and I do not understand why the President, as young as he is, he has allowed it to go on for four ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will rise to the challenge. I will always live with my words. The appointments in the public service are skewed to favour two communities. One does not have to go very far. Just look at the structure of the Cabinet, the Principal Secretaries and the Managing Directors and Executive Chairs of various parastatals---. This is not a laughing matter. It can destabilize the country. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know my brother Sen. Murkomen understands the English language reasonably well. Therefore, unless the meaning of the word substantiation has changed in the English dictionary--- view
