• 15 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I really get very excited when I hear some of the things that people think about me and it reminds me about my early days. When I was a little boy in Musingu High School, nobody would ever have imagined that we would scale the heights that we have. I am very proud of the Chief Justice because he has really fought for this country. This is a man who in 1997 many started thinking that he would be the compromise presidential candidate. I remember he led us in the National Convention Executive Council (NCEC) when ... view

• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This programme started during the successful Kibaki Government. Farmers in Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, Kakamega and Vihiga counties responded by planting eucalyptus trees. This is a species that is fast growing. It is now harvest time and farmers are being told the policy has changed to concrete poles. Could the Chairperson clarify that, indeed, the real reason for the policy change is that the company is being held captive by three politicians who own concrete making firms? Finally, at the funeral of the late Soita Shitanda, the Jubilee Government announced to the people ... view

• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are a House of records. Is Sen. (Dr.) Machage in order to mislead the country that the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, Raila Odinga was a Deputy Prime Minister when we know that the other Deputy Prime Minister was Hon. Musalia Mudavadi? view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the clarification was whether powerful politicians are or not holding Kenya Power Company (KPC) at ransom. I wanted a clarification and now that he is dillydallying about it, can he clarify whether the Deputy President, who has invested in production of concrete poles is, in fact, the one who is frustrating our famers so that his concrete poles can be sold and our famers have nowhere to sell theirs? If that is so, what is the Government doing to protect the poor farmers against this kind of greed? view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my concerns are not about the interest of the politicians. My interest is about the wanyonges who have planted those trees. The clarification I sought was whether KPC is being held hostage by these politicians. I said that since one of the investors in that venture is the Deputy President, could he be interfering? All I wanted to be told is that he is not interfering. Thereafter, my farmers The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Standing Orders are very clear and I have faith in you that you are going to use them effectively this afternoon to protect me. One way of doing so is by dismissing the point of order by Sen. Murkomen because Standing Orders are clear that when you are referring to a Senator, there is a way we do it. There is no Senator here called “aspiring candidate for Kakamega County”, because I am not. I am the Senator for Kakamega County and therefore protect me, as I will not respond to a question that is posed ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, knowing the shenanigans at the Registrar of Companies, even if you were to give me time to go and get certificates, I will be frustrated. I, therefore, most humbly want to drop the specific name of Deputy President and apologise and appeal to the Deputy President that he should use his high office to make the office of the Registrar of Companies to be more efficient so that when I am challenged next time, I can get the information on the spot. I apologize most unreservedly. view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also withdraw the usage of that name and leave the word ‘politicians’. I am also glad that the Chairman has confirmed that, indeed, 15 per cent has been allowed for concrete, but that 15 per cent in keeping with the corruption in Jubilee is being abused. view
