• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there was no Motion before this House asking the leave of the House that this Motion be referred to RBC. That is a totally different Motion. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate on 22th October, 2015 resolved to establish a Select ad hoc Committee on Prisons and Borstal Institutions consisting of 11 Senators to inquire into the rights of detained persons and persons held in custody and other imprisoned persons under the law; REQUIRING Parliament to enact legislation to provide for human treatment of such persons with due regard to the relevant international human rights instruments and report back to the House within three months of its establishment; REALISING that the three month period lapsed on the 25th February, ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank my two colleagues who have found time to contribute to this important procedural Motion. Before I conclude, I want to register my thanks to all the civil servants who have come before the Committee beginning with the Attorney-General and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) as I had said earlier when I was moving the Motion. I also want to register my appreciation, on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee, to the warm reception we continue to receive from prisons and borstal institutions that we have been visiting. I look forward to similar receptions ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank you for that communication. However, I would like to bring to your attention that if there is a Public Relations Office (PRO) in the Senate, it should address this matter. The Governors of Vihiga and Kakamega counties on several occasions, including last Saturday, continued misinforming residents of their counties and Kenyans in general, that this Senate has no role whatsoever in this very exercise that you have just read out in your communication. I do not understand why the PRO of the Senate is quiet on such serious allegations by ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just to set the record straight; is it not my expectation that in the absence of all the people you have listed, then you would fall back to any Chairperson of a Committee, who would then pass that information to a fellow Chairperson, in the same manner as in old system where a Minister would then pass over the information to another Minister? The issue of bringing in a Member of the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) needs to be made clear. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the executive is doing this aware of the expectation of the voters and that the President was elected to deliver goodies to his county and the region in general. However, at best, this is nothing but a grandiose intention by the Jubilee Government. They dare say that they are looking for a financier of a non-priority project. If they want to prioritise volume of traffic and impact on the economy, they would have started with the Mombasa-Nairobi and Nairobi-Malaba Road before going to the road in question. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for reminding me because my colleagues misunderstand me. During our presidency, we will not care which region or ethnic community is in which place. We will simply follow plans and priority. The Trans-African Highways will open the economy of this country, but as far as the Jubilee Government is concerned, economy will be opened if two communities are empowered. That is--- view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I conclude by thanking you very much for provoking me because we are crying in Kakamega. Our Trans-African Highway from Isbania-Migori-Kisumu-Kakamega-Kitale-Lodwar and eventually to Juba will never be prioritised by the Jubilee Government. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought you will congratulate me for mentioning Lodwar! view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: We are protecting our children. We want them to live in peace and compete with other Kenyan children. But since their fathers are afraid and do not want to compete with us, they only want to steal elections from us. We condemn Jubilee. view
