• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to request for a Statement under Standing Order No.45(2)(b) from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education on why Masinde Muliro University in Kakamega was closed down today. He should clarify the following:- (1) What exactly was the reason for its closure? (2) Is the closure in any way related to the demand by the university’s administration that students could only sit for the examinations if they have a zero-fee balance? (3) Why were the police invited to come and enforce the university closure order? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a Statement to make under Standing Order No.45(2)(a). I would like to make a statement on the violence that took place on 2nd April, 2016 at Masinde Muliro Gardens, Kakamega Town during the launch of Sen. Wetangula’s presidential bid for 2017. I thank you for allowing me to do so. I condemn in the strongest words possible the violence as it was completely uncalled for. Unfortunately, it resulted in injuring, amongst others, the two senior most politicians in our community; namely, hon. Mzee Otiende, aged 99 years who sustained actual bodily harm on his head ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to remind you that when I requested for a statement from the Chairman of Committee on Education and he did not indicate when he will bring the answer. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that this petition is coming shortly after the one from Vihiga County. Kenyans are saying the constitutional oversight institutions are taking too long to catch new thieves. I had the opportunity to go to Lodwar and I saw the governor’s personal residence being constructed at a cost of Ksh300 million. The governor’s office is being constructed at the cost of Kshs600 million, in a county where their primary challenge is food and water. I want to ask the people of Turkana to refuse and remove that “poster child”; that a Turkana child is the ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: so that you can address those things and punch some of those people in their faces, because it is not right. I am not just talking about the Governor of Turkana, but we have been shown some of the hotels that some governors have put up in Nairobi. If I meet one of them and he challenges me when we are taking a beer, I will name them, so that when he asks me about it the next day, I will tell him to leave it at that because we were drinking. This is wrong and it is not limited ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to ride on the request by the Senate Minority Leader in noting that a commission of that calibre does not occur overnight. It is not done by one individual or an institution. Obviously, there is the case of connivance, especially with the leadership of the CBK. The Statement should, include the following: Over the last three years, what kind of decisions has the leadership of the CBK been making on the NBK? I am afraid that Kenya being what it is, a few people connive just the same way they did at the National ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I plead with the Chair that he reconsiders what he is about to rule on whether the statement by Sen. Muthama regarding what the president said in Israel should be expunged. It should stay there because there is one thing I admire about President Uhuru. I have learnt that sometimes when he speaks about corruption he means it. It is only that the people who helped him to become the President seem to have the final say. The country remembers that President Uhuru said that there is heavy corruption in the ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it should remain on HANSARD so that when our grandchildren come, they will know that when Sen. Elachi said that we are thieves, she meant that she is a thief with the others and not with those who are fighting corruption. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like the Chair to confirm that Sen. Elachi’s withdrawal includes what she attempted to say about me. May I challenge Sen. Elachi who is also my younger sister to substantiate that I was bribed with money for sugar. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a House of record. The Senator, who has just spoken, Sen. Njoroge, is on record in this House alleging that Ms. Anne Waiguru is clean. In fact, he said that she is a whistleblower. Now that he has changed that position to saying that she is not a whistleblower but one of the perpetrators of theft, could the Chair compel him to withdraw one of the statements because they are contradictory? Is she a perpetrator of corruption or not? view
