• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I congratulate Sen (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, because this is a matter that touches on “ haki ya mnyonge ” could he allow me to remove one feather from my hat--- view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying could he allow me to remove one feather from my hat, as mtetezi wa wanyonge, and give it to him. This is because these are lowly placed members of society, but who contribute immensely to the security of our people. As they say, all politics is local; may be it needed a local leader from the local community to appreciate the challenges that these Kenyans go through. As I congratulate him, I want to also condemn the Jubilee Government for the way they exercise selective justice. We all remember that last year, ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand under Standing Order No. 77(5), and wish your guidance. Are you persuaded that the Senator for Busia County has voted according to the provisions of that Standing Order? view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Are you persuaded that the Senator for Bungoma County has voted in view of the provisions of the Standing Order No. 77(5)? view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As I support this Motion, I have asked myself two questions; the first one is, the appetite my daughter, at the age of five years, has for chips. Like many children who grow up in Nairobi and other urban areas, when you ask them where milk comes from, they will tell you that it comes from the fridge. Little do they know how the poor of this country in the rural areas have to toil hours upon hours to create milk before it finds its way eventually in the fridge. Similarly, my daughter, like ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: ” way where animals boycotted production, and potato farmers boycotted supplying to Nairobi? What would people eat? Serious businesses would collapse. The fish, chicken and chips shops that we have in Nairobi would collapse. Five star hotels and supermarkets would be affected. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, therefore, as we contemplate on these two questions, we should be asking ourselves: What are we doing as the fathers of equity in this country to ensure that the astronomical profits that owners of five star hotels make, can trickle down to the farmers? When you go to a five star hotel and ask ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Kindly, hold my time, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I only came into contact with English because it was the medium of learning. Ordinarily, I would only be speaking Kiluhya and Kiswahili. What I really meant was that over and above being a democratic President, the greater character might be the one who fights corruption. I believe in democracy and we have paid high prices for democracy. Thank you, Sen. Hassan. view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these blokes who have impoverished our farmers in the sugar industry, especially Mumias Sugar Company are big men and women, walking around in Nairobi, speaking in boardrooms; speaking “fat” English; they are useless! Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to use this Floor today to say that I support Sen. Mbuvi in what he is doing in the County Government of Nairobi because the same cartels that Governor Kidero used to loot Mumias Sugar Company have followed him; now they are busy looting the County Government of Nairobi. The time will come when we shall ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am sorry that we were listening to you at the Bar. I remember yesterday Sen. Wetangula raised the important issue of the need for there to be a resolution of this House to support your decision that there be a joint committee. You have not talked about it and I think it would be nice and procedural if such a resolution, indeed, were to support the decision that the two Speakers have made. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this ... view
