• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if I may say the same thing in a more useful manner that as students of the University of Nairobi and many other Kenyans who had fought for good governance in this country, people supported the coup and when we supported the coup and it succeeded for a few hours, people felt that they had Kenya in their hands but that was reversed. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am talking about the people of Kenya and I am not a Ugandan. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: The answer is; because of that support, students were unfairly discontinued but eventually returned. Some members of the Air Force--- view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will support it. I want to make a plea to my sisters that the people who were found culpable, punishment was meted to them and we are saying there are others who unfairly lost their jobs. They did not have the wherewithal to pursue justice through the normal process. So, could it be that if this House permitted them, these humble Kenyans earning Kshs600 as a private in the air force, if they could be compensated? I beg the House to find that if there was no merit in what I am saying, then the ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to start by thanking all those who have contributed including those who introduced the amendment. I think the spirit was to enrich the whole process. In view of the contribution by Sen. Lesuuda, let me point it out to her that probably at the beginning, the attention span of the House was not really to what I was saying. I meant that there were top sufferers, but they were not limited to those ones alone. Indeed, we had political prisoners, political detainees, radical religious leaders, for example, Bishop Alexander Muge who died ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to appeal to our youth both in our learning institutions and the ones who have already entered employment, but still in that bracket. When you look at the profiles of all these heroes that many people have spoken about, at no time do you see any of them coming out to struggle in the second liberation in the name of their tribes. Indeed, those who lost their lives did not do it in the name of their tribes, but for all of us. Those who lost their limbs and were ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Senator for Mandera County and Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs for that Statement. I would also like to use this opportunity to point out that some of the issues that he has mentioned have immediate challenges. Maybe, as Committee, we should device, either through this House or through communications with the National Assembly, a way in which we can address the issue of budgeting. Unless the office of the Auditor-General is adequately funded especially by way of human resource, now that we have got 48 governments, we ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the same point, may I request you to recall your experience when you used to sit in the Public Accounts Committee in the other Parliament. You will recall that such reports used to come in respect of Government Ministries. At no time was the Committee restricted to only sample out. We were dealing with all the Ministries so that when your report comes to the House it is comprehensive and you speak to the performance of all Ministries. In this case, it is mandatory that you speak to all county governments including the county governments of ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that earlier on in the life of this Senate, you allowed a similar Statement to pass and it was actually responded to. I, therefore, see no reason the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs should not respond to Prof. Lesan’s question. You will recall that when a jet was used to take a State officer to West Africa, I raised this matter and you allowed it. An answer 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 ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Chairperson of the Committee say that as far as the Deputy President is concerned, all IDPs have been settled. Yes, that is true, but the IDPs that Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki is speaking to are not only in Nyandarua, but across the country. Some of the IDPs were integrated by their families. Culturally, for example, our community found it difficult to allow their relatives to live along the roads and in camps. So, all the IDPs who came from Trans Nzoia in 2008 were actually integrated in their families ... view
