• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, did you notice that contrary to the traditions and practices of this House, when the MCAs of Isiolo were being introduced, they were just seated? Could it be that the Clerk failed to train them on the procedure of appearing and sitting in this Senate? view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this problem is deeper than we think. Could the Chairperson tell us what the Jubilee Government is doing to ensure that affirmative action is played, so that the Turkana and West Pokot people benefit from the children who are being churned out of teacher training colleges and get a lion’s share so as to have a long term solution? view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker. The matter being raised by the Senator for Kilifi County came up yesterday when we were doing consultations with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. The entire Ministry officials were here yesterday. When this matter was brought up, the Cabinet Secretary challenged Sen. Madzayo to substantiate the fact that a particular ethnic community was being favoured in that department. So as not to leave anything unclear, could that answer come with the full breakdown with the number of employees in the Ministry giving their names, county of origins and ethnicity as provided ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was not rising on a point of order because something was out of order. I was seeking your indulgence to allow the issues I have referred to, to ride on the general issues he sought clarifications for, so that we get a more comprehensive answer and settle the concerns of the Cabinet Secretary that there is no ethnic bias in his department. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, under Article 41 of the Constitution, every Kenyan has a right to labour minimums, which include remunerations and so on. I am requesting the Chairperson to consider directing - since in one of the clarifications, Sen. Madzayo would like the possibility of this young man being hired - the Cabinet Secretary not to hire this aged, under qualified man and wait until this question has been answered to our satisfaction before he concludes the hiring exercise. We do not see how a 29 year old boy can lose to a 60 year old man. He cannot. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to particularly thank the Senate Majority Leader for those accolades and recognition of the humble bull fighter of Kakamega County. I rise to strongly second this Motion, first, in the spirit of bipartisanship that we have nurtured in this Senate when matters of grave national importance like this one crop up. Lord Acton said: “Absolute power corrupts absolutely" With all due respect to the officers, MCAs, governors, their deputies and members of the CECs, power seems to be slowly going into their heads. Why all these fights? If it is not Makueni, it is ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since I know many of you have gone to good schools, both locally and internationally, the word “heeeee” obtains more or less, in all the languages of the world. With all due respect to MCAs, they should know that they are in the beginning of a great journey that will one day culminate in the ultimate price. If they might have known, MCAs of the Republic of Kenya should know that even President Obama started humbly like them. President Obama served in Illinois for a full term of four years. After he finished in Illinois he ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in making that ruling, in view of the contribution from the Senator for Mandera, we deliberately limited our contribution in this first Motion because we were anticipating a second Motion. So, we will be caught in a very tight situation since some of us had already conducted research on the on goings in Isiolo. We have documents that we want to table in this House concerning Isiolo. I ask you to be clear so that some of us do not lose the opportunity of tabling the documents we have concerning Isiolo. We did this deliberately. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Did you hear Sen. Elachi, the Chief Whip, saying that she is worried that some people will go to The Hague during this short break? Could she view
