• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, then allow me to tell you, there is no grape vine. The rule of thumb in any Parliament is that in a parliamentary democracy, parliamentary work takes precedence over any other engagement. How then shall we know that it is not out of contempt or impunity that the Cabinet Secretary has twice kept us waiting? Could I seek your indulgence, you now take it as the head of this Senate to prevail upon the Government, that Cabinet Secretaries must honour summons of committees of this House. It is something which is bigger than the Chairman because ... view

• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this pipeline is very old. For that reason, it is open to corrosion, internally and externally. Could the Chairman tell the country when the entire pipeline, from the beginning to the end, will be replaced, because this leakage can recur any time, anywhere? Finally, the taxpayer lost 800,000 litres per hour for 10 hours. Could the Chairman tell us how that loss will be recovered and who is going to be held responsible for the same? view

• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving the indulgence. My statement is very brief to the effect that the death of any Kenyan is a very painful experience for the family and friends. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Saturday, my car, in which I was driving to Kitale via Kakamega early in the morning, fatally hit a pedestrian. We have gone through the legal process, up to and including, reporting the accident at the police station. My driver and I recorded a statement. My driver was arrested but he was released on a cash bail. He has been ... view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is rare and, indeed, unusual that the proceedings of the House can appear to stop. If these vigorous consolations is because of the arguments put on the Table by the Senator for Bungoma--- view
