• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my apologies. I meant Sen. (Eng.) Hargura. People from my area sometimes have a problem with pronunciation. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Eng.) Hargura’s office is next to mine at the KICC Building so I know him very well. I would like to assure the House that I am fully recovered. I do not have a problem in my capacity to think and speak. I challenge the Senator for Marsabit County to come up with a law or an amendment to existing law so that when we lose people through such senseless killings, and negligence by state agencies they can be compensated. There is provision in law to pursue civil suits where such victims can get compensated. I ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: received response yet. I can see some Members of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. I urge them to give us feedback on the status of statements sought. I say that because I saw the Police Commandant of Nairobi County issuing reports that since the curfew started, the level of crime has gone down. We need to get justification on that allegation because there have been so many extrajudicial killings. It was reported in one of the leading newspapers in the United States of America (USA) that the curfew has given the police officers an open cheque and ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware that I am in Government --- view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Senator in the Majority side, I am privy to what is happening within the Executive. I said that there might be a Cabinet reshuffle. I did not say that there shall be a reshuffle. I challenge the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to make a follow up on this issue so that we stop lamenting each and every day so that Marsabit and all the other affected areas in the country affected by insecurity can be sorted out. I send quick recovery wishes to the people ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I challenge the new Leader of Majority in the National Assembly to work together with the Senate. The proposed County Boundaries Bill should have assisted us in resolving such insecurity issues affecting border areas. When hon. Duale lost his position yesterday, I learnt that these positions we hold are temporary. They need to be used for the benefit of all. I thank you. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Mwaruma. As the country’s infection cases of COVID-19 reach 4,952 and 10 million across the world, it is important that there is transparency and accountability in the management of resources allocated to the fight this disease. I agree that counties do not have a synchronised way of fighting COVID-19 pandemic. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: The other day, we heard that the county where the Senate Minority Leader comes from has a challenge of ICU beds just like any other county. I heard the Cabinet Secretary for Health, hon. Kagwe, say that he wants to dismantle the mafia or “Afya” cartels in the Ministry although there are rumours of Cabinet changes. We are looking at the issue of accountability and transparency. The fight against COVID-19 is not only about the disease. It is also about ensuring that we retain the economic stability of the many young Kenyans who have lost their jobs because of the ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We had raised an issue on security. So far, there are one or two Statements that we raised with the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. You instructed that you needed feedback by last week on some Statements, especially the one that I raised concerning the two young men who were killed. Sen. Sakaja at that point in time said that he is no longer the Vice Chairperson of that Committee. Since the Whip is here, I hope that we can move with speed to conclude those issues. Thank you, ... view
