• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. On a complex issue like this of death, I believe Senators are allowed to build the question. I was building the question, but let me leave it there. I will not build it any further. view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. What was I building to is that: Could the Prime Cabinet Secretary be compelled to table the list of all Kenyans working in these Gulf States, so that the parents and relatives can be reassured that the Government is on top of things as far as their lives are concerned? view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the governments of India, Philippines and Indonesia have labour and social protection bilateral agreements with the Gulf States. As a result, their workers are better paid than Kenyans doing similar work. Could the Prime Cabinet Secretary undertake to table in this House, in the shortest time possible, such bilateral agreement, so as to protect our young people who are being paid Kshs30,000 as housemaids when those from other countries that I have talked about get three times as much? view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Whip, I apologize to you. We had done this consultation with the Speaker, Hon. Kingi, but failed to bring it to your attention. The reason the distinguished Senator for West Pokot is taking the mandate is because having spoken to this Motion already, I cannot move a dilatory Motion. I beg your indulgence. view
• 9 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the harassment by the police of residents of the Ikolomani Constituency following a mining rights conflict between a private gold mining investor by the name of Shanta Gold Limited and the residents of the Ikolomani Constituency, leading to the death of one person. As I raise this Statement, allow me to give my condolences to the family of Vincent Moi who lost his life in that conflict. Also, allow me to ... view
• 9 Jul 2024 in Senate: (5) Find out why unscrupulous local security personnel are aiding the mining company to access the gold mines in total disregard of the views of other stakeholders and recommend measures to address the matter. I thank you. view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, accept my compliments for allowing us to reserve time and place for this important Motion. Allow me to equally compliment both the Senate Majority and the Senate Minority Leaders for speaking, not just from their minds, but from their hearts. In my life, I never thought that in this House, I would listen to a wonderful speech by the young Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot. view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: We have been trying to steer this Parliament in that direction and some people wanted to read defiance. No! Listen to the words of the Senate Minority Leader. He is telling the Gen Zs that at no time in this Parliament have we ever locked anybody from accessing us. Have we ever locked anyone from accessing us? They did not have to lose lives and limbs and result in loss of property for them to have an opportunity for a photo session in this House. Every day, the Speaker’s and the Public Galleries have not only remained open, but they ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: what to call it. I can only say that they did what they did. Never in the history of the four Presidents we have had in this country, have they ever contemplated on deploying the military the way we did. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you saw that across the whole country members of the public torching homes and properties of elected leaders. Indeed, we are in a bad place and, therefore, as we say in our community, when you are mourning, you do not mourn with shame. We must speak to it as I wish to do now. We are where ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Hon. Didmus Barasa, take it easy. Those helicopters will not change your life. I equally offended somebody over the weekend in Kakamega whose name I never mentioned, about this issue of opulence. I just wondered; how would an MP be able to donate Kshs20 million at a harambee ? He was very offended. In another function, I saw a Minister of this Government carrying a white bag on the back and started announcing how many millions are in that bag. He said, moja, mbili - --- If we do not refuse these things, people like hon. Murkomen will think that ... view
