• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have listened to all the speakers this afternoon and they have spoken in support of this Motion. Because this Motion is being moved by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., I want to beg him to understand me; that I will be the first one to oppose the Motion. I am opposing this Motion not because the resolution that we want to make is, in any way, sacrilegious; no. It is because of where a Kenyan in national leadership position wants to take Kenya. We have to build a family called Kenya. When I oppose, I ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker; you captured my mood. I started by saying that I know I am in the minority, but I am emphasizing that I am trying to see beyond the resolution. Sen. (Dr.) Kuti is one of my best friends and we normally do a lot of things with him in Bangkok. view

• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. Indeed, he knows that this was with a light touch and I would never try to impute improper motives on my younger brother, who was a kid student of medicine at the medical school when we were training. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to plead with the House. I am trying to see the consequences of the Report they will bring. If you think this is a joke, I want you to remember what happened when Ligale came up with constituencies. The country got polarized. The Ligale Commission would visit a ward and divide it. ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: I am sorry Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to withdraw and give my own example. You will find that a refined doctor like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is wasting time doing sugarcane farming. I do not have to do that because I practice. The money I make in my medical practice in a year is Kshs5,000 or even Kshs10,000 more than what I get when I harvest my cane. view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my speech is futuristic. I am saying that the farmer of the future will be the farmer you see in Britain. view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, once we urbanize the industries that we are talking about they are the ones that will hire our information Technology (IT) experts, engineers and so on. I am not in any way belittling the farmers. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chairperson of the Committee on Land and Natural Resources has just informed us the names of the stakeholders who were consulted. In view of the provisions of Article 67 of the Constitution that speaks to the National Land Commission (NLC), was the Chair in order to leave out the NLC when we know that this matter rests with no other office than Dr. Swazuri’s office? view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a Point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two points of order; one is to seek for your indulgence and the other one on your Communication. As you said, this is uncharted waters, could you clarify further where we shall go because the Report that comes here will only look for a decision to adopt any report or to reject it? If the two Houses adopt, then the officer would have gotten the job. If they reject, the officer would have lost the job. Could you clarify what would happen if either of the Houses rejects and the ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of Order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. The House is now in the Committee of the Whole and we shall be voting. The Opposition is seriously disadvantaged during voting because of the demise of the late Sen. Otieno Kajwang. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was able to conduct a successful election where our candidate won, but the Government Printer or whoever it is, has not gazetted the name of the Senator-elect for swearing in. So, before we vote, could the Senate Majority Leader explain why Senator-elect, Moses Otieno Kajwang, was not gazetted so that he can ... view
