• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of information. I am the people's Chair of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I am no longer the substantive Chair of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. What I am saying is that I am not aware whether that matter was to be handled by the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights or Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. The Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Forestry cannot do anything now. However, he can order suspension of eviction of people in Molo. That is what we are ... view
• 13 Jul 2020 in Senate: On a point of procedure, Madam Deputy Speaker. We agreed that we are discussing the Motion and not the contents of what is to come. This is anticipating debate, and it is as simple as that. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. From the onset, I condemn the arrest of many Saba Saba Day protesters today. That is a violation of Article 37 of the Constitution. I have seen people like Frank Chacha and many others who were arrested in Kibera and other police stations across the city. We ask the Inspector-General (IG) of Police, the President and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to release them because they were not violating any law. They were just exercising their democratic right. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, and apologise to the nation. Being my neighbour, you are aware of what happened in Lessos. Yesterday in Rioma in Kisii County, we saw police applying excessive use of force, and even extra-judicial killings. This made the people to riot and burn down a police station in Lessos in Nandi County. This police brutality must stop. We are seeing a very dangerous trend in this country where the police, instead of maintaining law and order, are now misusing that power they have been given under the law. Madam Deputy Speaker, I laud the heroes of Saba Saba ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: started but I encourage people like Sen. Orengo – although he has stepped out – to continue keeping the fight of democracy and freedom of expression and space in this country, unlike what we are witnessing at the moment. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Second, I laud Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura, the newest and youngest Member of the Speaker’s Panel, for this wonderful Petition to the Senate. Under Article 55, the youth have been given rights through an affirmative action. As Sen. M. Kajwang’ has said, I request that we need an audit of all 47 county governments and the National Government on the number of tenders they have awarded to the young people in this country. The issue of young people being used as flower girls and page boys in access to tender awards in counties and the National Government must stop. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: We cannot be reduced to what we call Kazi Mtaani . It is a wonderful idea by the President to start Kazi Mtaani but we want those young people to be empowered. We do not want to be relegated to Kazi kwa Vijana. We also want to sit in boardrooms and make decisions. We also want to make money as young people. As young people who have the privilege and honour to serve in this House as representatives of many young people, that Petition is timely. We need an overhaul of the procurement system. As I conclude, I challenge the ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: come to the Floor of the House, kindly stand with the young people, PWDs and the marginalized in this country. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I congratulate and support Sen. Kwamboka for this Statement. It has become a national crisis where there are unprecedented cases of teenage pregnancies in the country. The sad part is that sometimes there are people who take advantage of young girls. There is also a case from Murang’a where a 9-year old girl was also found to be pregnant. This has been the biggest problem in this country. It could be done by boys or people who take advantage of these girls. When we passed the Sexual Offences Act, it was supposed to ensure such perpetrators who ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: When I used to Chair the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, where my learned senior, Sen. Mutual Kilonzo Jnr., was my very good committed Member, we visited the Government of Kenya (GK) Prison in Eldoret, which is in your county. We also visited the Industrial Area Remand Prison and other coastal prisons in this country. We noticed that there is a high and unprecedented number of--- Sen. Sakaja was also part of the team and also a Member of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. He was the Vice Chairperson before he was removed, ... view
