• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a House of record. The record should appear correctly. My brother Sen. Murkomen suggests that I have borrowed the requisition for this statement from his contribution this afternoon. Let the record be straight that this is not true. I know the crime of stealing somebody’s intellectual property. I, therefore, could not, probably, have done this. I filed the requisition for this statement yesterday and the Speaker approved it. By the time the Senator was intervening, it was long after the act. view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to ride on this important issue. The Chairperson of the Committee should also report to this House the possible role by the governors and their county executives in the origin of the fire in some of the instances. We have a case in point, in Thika, where the county government was reported to have deliberately and maliciously put an open air market on fire, so as to pave way for construction of some other structures. There was a similar issue in Kakamega County, three weeks ago, when the open air Jua view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: market was set on fire. Kakamega County is privileged because we already have two fire engines, but they were never used in good time. They came in very late; setting the possibility that somebody in the county government might have been interested in those things being gutted. It is important that it be clear that some of these malicious people who are out to make either economic or other form of benefit from potential ‘investors’ might be harassing and disenfranchising people who are engaged in the Jua Kali sector, who are part of our business society, at the cost of ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is not the first time that the Chair is being forced to make the kind of ruling and order that you have just made.

They are facilitated and given special means of transport. They are supposed to earn that money. Senators are very busy people. ... view
