• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 12th June, 2015, M/s Vill Ltd, the contractor, went to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague about this contract. The court directed that the matter be settled amicably. The contractor then applied to the Government of Kenya that he had no problem leaving the site. That was in June. This is November and the money being spent is from the World Bank. The Jubilee Government has refused to send a representative to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague to respond to the appeal by the contractor that he wants to move so ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that the House understands what carried me. That was the echo of the words of President Kibaki, who launched that project in Lwakhakha. He could have seen us in Lwakhakha opening a project that he launched and said in his mind: “Bure kabisa.” That echoed in my mind. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw. I never meant Sen. Sijeny, but the Jubilee Government. Wameshindwa. Wanafanya vitu ambavyo watu wengine walifanya. I withdraw and apologize. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since we record everything we say here, you heard Sen. Keter mislead the House that there can be other important business. Is he in order because flying to The Hague cannot be more important than the business of the House? view
• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I regret that the Report of the Mediation Committee that I was chairing between this Senate and the National Assembly has a small technical problem. However, it is ready and we have signed it. It might come towards the end because today is the deadline. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.45(2)(b) to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations relating to the presence of Kenya Military Security Forces in Somalia serving under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). In the Statement, the Chairperson should clarify the following: 1. Is it true or not that the Kenya Defence Forces are abetting illegal trade in charcoal, sugar and other contraband goods and thereby and knowingly oiling the funding of the Al Shabaab operations? 2. Could the Chairman confirm whether the Government of Kenya ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas the Chairman is justified to communicate, but listening to him, he has not given us any reason to indicate the difficulties he is facing. We run the risk as an institution to be seen not to be different from the Jubilee Government that does not seem to take the issue of teachers seriously. He should tell us the reason. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Chairperson clarify to the House whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware of the provisions of Article 245(4) that completely prohibits him or any other person from directing the Inspector-General (IG) to arrest or investigate anybody? Could the Chairperson tell us what Maj. Nkaissery meant when he pointed a KANU like finger protruding and popping from the television screens of Kenyans warning all of us that we will be held responsible? Could he clarify what “being held responsible” means? Does it mean he will arrest, beat or kill? He was pointing a finger at us, but ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if by using the word “thief” is being taken to mean that I am being unreasonable, with all due respect to Sen. Murkomen, when a biro pen that costs Kshs20 is bought at Kshs8,700, the person pocketing the difference is a thief. If Ms. Waiguru is not the thief, could the Jubilee Government tell us who the thief is? I speak on behalf of Mr. Mangiti and Mr. Nelson Githinji. They will not be referred to as thieves when the buck stops with their boss who is Ms. Waiguru. She should not be reduced to a State ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the things that the Cabinet Secretary Nkaissery said and did and which were reported in the country is a matter of public notoriety. Given that in his answer, the Chairman has returned a no answer to everything, are we satisfied that the Chairman has adequately responded to our concerns? Could the Chairman be directed to come with the correct answer? view
