• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Chairperson is imputing that I am naïve. Indeed, I am not. I know that no dead person can receive money for the simple reason that I am a doctor of medicine, I know deaths better than him. I am talking about the members of the families of the dead be allowed to receive their entitlement. If there is any rich family that does not need the money, they will return The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.The funny thing about lawyers is that they at times forget just like doctors tend to forget at times. Medical books are not only read by doctors alone. Patients also read them. Similarly, statutory books are also read by non-lawyers. I am, therefore, impressed that the hon. Senator wants to impute in anticipation of some theoretical exercise that he so wishes to contemplate forgetting that the same Political Parties Act, Section 14(5)(d) and (e), in fact, for your interest, specify that the things he is saying do not apply. They apply when they are being applied ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to bring this to your attention because the public is following this debate and we do not want to appear ignorant. The same section of the Political Parties Act, sub section 6, provides that anybody who infringes on a Member from enjoying the rights that I am purported not to enjoy commits an offence and is liable to a fine of Kshs1 million or a two years imprisonment or both. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this very important Motion. I would like to applaud the Mover of the Motion, Sen.

• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to request that you give us some guidance. To my understanding, an Act of Parliament ranks a notch higher than a Bill, and a Bill a notch higher than a Motion, for the simple reason that it is a Motion which is a precursor to a Bill, and a Bill is a precursor to an Act. When I look at this Motion, we want, as a Senate, to urge the national Government to issue licences to posses firearms to Kenyans above the age of 30 years, who apply to be ... view

• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the point of order being raised by Sen. Muthama is very critical. The Senator for Laikipia is implying that it is only the Kikuyus who fought for Independence. Is he in order given that in Kapenguria, Elijah Masinde who was not even a politician was detained alongside Jomo Kenyatta? When he came out and refused to tow the line, Kenyatta went on and detained him for a further 15 years. Is he in order to suggest that it is only the Kikuyus who fought for Independence? view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second this very important Motion. Before I do so, I would like to thank you for allowing me to speak and to thank the Mover. “Mr. Speaker, Sir”, this Motion addresses the plight of our peasant farmers. The big farmers do not need this Motion because they have money and they practice mechanised farming. If you are doing mechanised farming, your cattle are milked using machines and you do not pay the machines any salary. Your calves are breastfed by robots that you do not pay salaries. Therefore, large-scale farmers do not--- view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am very sorry. This is the only time that I have made that mistake. I am not sure whether this is because of the testosterone that is flowing through my brain this morning. However, I want to plead with colleagues that this is a practical thing. When you borrow money, you do so knowing that you will break even and repay it. Some people may say that this Senate is being unrealistic by lowering the rates from 10 per cent to 3 per cent. Farming is not like any other businesses. I know that most of ... view
