• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chair and the Government because two things have happened since the time that we raised this matter in the Senate. First, the contractor has been brought back on site for purposes of making the road motorable. He has been there for a week. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the interest of this country, the list that has been brought by the Government has got 28 such projects in the country. Out of 28 projects, 20 of them are taking place in Nairobi County and only eight are scattered in a few counties in ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter might require a proper communication from the Chair because we have migrated from the old Constitution where we did not have a Senate to the current one. It has been our practice that Ministers would not only sit on the right of the Chair but they would also address the House from the Dispatch Box. Maybe in our set up, you need to tell us whether the Chairs will again be taking the front rows and sit on the side of the Government and whether they will be speaking from the Dispatch Box. As you ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it really fair to the House and to the country which is following this debate live on television and radio for us to adopt that position because our understanding is that the Statement should be made to the House so that we raise any other points that require further clarifications? More importantly, the people of Kirinyaga want to follow the debate and see the accuracy of how the Government is performing in their county. For your information, while we were discussing the Sigalagala-Butere-Sidindi Road, I have already received electronic communication on ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the interest of respect to procedure in this House, Sen. Keter has raised a very important thing about time. This is a timed Motion. It is timed for two hours. Therefore, if in your considered opinion, you have allowed it to go on, it is good if the Senate Majority Leader can move a Motion so that the time of debate on the Motion is also extended. It is only after that extension that we shall be operating within our Standing Orders. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support the request by the Senator for Mombasa that this matter be brought before this House. I would also like to draw the attention of my colleagues here that the President in 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
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to strongly oppose the adjournment of this House because we have the experience in this country. A critical issue like the Media Bill is not going to be wished away. How will I be in Kakamega and how will you be feeling in Turkana to see the action and the fire--- view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In fact, I was thinking of Sen. Munyes. It is important that we be here to help the Government unlock--- view
• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice to the following Motion. THAT, aware that the Bill of Rights in the Constitution is an integral part of Kenya’s democratic state and its framework for social, economic and cultural policies whose main objective is recommission and protection of human rights to among other things preserve the dignity of individuals and to promote social justice; recognizing that many Kenyans suffered from human rights abuses perpetrated by government agencies, especially between 1970s and 1980s including detention without trial and against those suspected of complicity in the coup attempt of August 1982; noting with ... view

• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman for that candid answer, but I also want to share with him the frustrations that I know even the Government must be having. That even good laws or good directives from the executive are very difficult to be implemented or supervised. Since some of the heads are being mischievous because they are still living in the old system of impunity in this country. Could the Ministry direct that all certificates be taken to the office of the District Education Officer so that the children can collect them from that office and ... view
