It would ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I support that we adjourn and go for this short recess. As we go on recess, I cannot help but remember that the President addressed a Joint Sitting of this Parliament and told us that the security of this country has improved. He said that that was part of global terrorism manifested mainly by the Al Shabaab. He went on to point out that partly to blame was the radicalisation of our youth and extreme violence mainly emanating from Somalia.

• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. Mbura for this Petition. The Government should deal with this matter comprehensively for two reasons. The first one is that there is nothing wrong with Kenyans working in Saudi Arabia or any other Middle East country. In fact, under normal circumstances, the Government should encourage young talented Kenyans to seek employment opportunities elsewhere because of the high level of unemployment in this country.

• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was concluding by wondering aloud. Could it be that some of the politicians – not necessarily in this Senate – are actually promoters or have an interest in this vice? They should be investigated without any favouritism. I know that the Senator for Mandera has this kind of person in mind. view

So, just like the President is pushing the country to fight corruption, may the Chairperson push this Committee to bring an answer here tomorrow at 2.30 p.m. view
• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman. Did you notice that as soon as your attention was being drawn to the misdemeanor by the Deputy Speaker, he majestically walked out? Could you allow me to name him for undermining you? view
