• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is very brief. We know that we have people with vested interests who import shoes from Italy and target the Kenyan market. My understanding is that the population that purchases shoes--- view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes. I now wanted to throw the bombshell. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: The population that makes use of the Italian shoes is less than 1 per cent of the Kenyan population. Could the Vice Chairperson tell Kenyans whether it is true or not that they are being held hostage by the rich people who make a living out of imported shoes at the expense of the poor? view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saddened by the fact that at the moment, there are billions of shillings “flying” around in the name of El Nino intervention funds. The section of this road between Stand Mboga in Kakamega, at Shimala Vandu, all the way to Lubao up to Matsakha is short of probably two-and-a-half kilometres. All we are asking is a quick intervention, so that the road is motorable. Why are they not using the El Nino funds, because this is obviously an area where those funds would apply? view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue that Sen. Khaniri has raised is very important. When visitors sit in the Speaker’s Gallery, are they seen by the Speaker or by Members in the Chamber? How did Sen. Khaniri know the member for Gisambai is in the Speaker’s Gallery? It is only the Speaker who knows who is in the Speaker’s Gallery. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. While I entirely agree with my party leader, I would like to remind him that a Senator speaking on the Floor must substantiate his allegations. Could he substantiate who amongst us constitute these “voting machines” because Kenyans are watching? They might think that I am part of the “voting machines.” Could he substantiate who these people are? view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is important for the record of this House and for posterity. The Senator for Nyeri County has alleged that on the side of CORD, we have people who are also corrupt. He is entitled to that. However, because many of us on this side have spent our entire life in politics fighting corruption, could he substantiate so that the record remains clear who it is on the CORD side that is corrupt? view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Bill and commend my brother, Sen. Musila, for this good Bill, but we can make it better. The New Clause Three: 45(a)(i) can be considered in the Committee of the Whole; it should be changed so as to include primary, secondary and college level. There are students in polytechnics, teachers training colleges and medical training colleges who also suffer the same fate from the leadership of those institutions. Secondly, Clause Three: 45(a) can further be made better by saying that “the district officer shall not withhold a certificate.” We can go ahead ... view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 6 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As you know from your long experience in Parliament, what we are seeing now is unprecedented. It is expected that upon you resuming your Chair, business should commence immediately. If there is any other reason why business has not commenced, the House must forever be guided by none other than the Speaker. Today is a solemn occasion and indeed Kenyans who are watching would be forgiven if they thought that we are not taking today’s occasion seriously. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence so that you tell us what is going ... view
