• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on the issue of birth certificates, I insist that it is so critical, and you will find people traveling far and wide and get tired in the process. We, therefore, need to make a resolution on how to assist our people to access this vital document in all our counties. Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen that the Inspector-General (IG) of Police has reneged on his direction on road blocks.

Therefore, the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations must give proper direction on why the IG, Mr. Hillary Mutyambai, is going back on his word of removing road blocks from our roads, yet we know that they are extortion rings that are being used by some rogue police officers. Thank you. view

• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Our Committee takes its role on constitutional affairs very seriously. It is in this regard that the Committee is conducting an audit of the laws that had been passed by the National Assembly un-procedurally without the concurrence of the Speaker of the Senate with a view to institute legal proceedings to challenge whether their Bills are concerning counties and consequently the role of the Senate therein. Further, to determine the constitutionality of the Money Bill question versus whether Bills relating to money affect counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, regarding Statements pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1)(2), two Statements were referred to ... view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on this aspect, we have noted with a lot of concern that the investigative agencies in the fight against corruption have unfettered support that will ensure that we put in place legislative measures. We also question the agencies that fight corruption. For example, the other day, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI), in a meeting with foreign diplomats stated that they are likely to share the names of corruption suspects and issue travel advisories to those countries. Madam Temporary Speaker, in that spirit and that of presumption of innocence, we ... view

• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: (i) Find out why extra judicial killings are so prevalent in Kenya and especially in informal settlements and coastal towns; Madam Temporary Speaker, it is worth noting that recently my Committee held meetings on extra-judicial killings and forced disappearances in Mombasa. (ii) Find out the responsibility of law enforcement organs and security apparatus for extra-judicial violations committed in the process of community policing or the famous, nyumba kumi initiative.

• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As my colleagues have said, on behalf of the great people of Nandi where we are the source of champions and home of sportsmen, we condole with the people of Vihiga County who are our neighbours on the passing on of the legend and football Maverick, Joe Kadenge. We wish the family well. The people of Vihiga County have our support as neighbours. We will do what we can to ensure the sendoff of our hero is done appropriately.

• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: In Nandi County, most of the revenue comes from the sports people. I have heard Sen. Wetangula talking about Henry Rono, Mike Boit and Kipchoge Keino who are our distinguished sons and many others that brought glory to this country. Those are among the few sons and daughters that have done very well from Nandi County. Most of our revenue comes from sports activities. We pride ourselves on our athletes. We are not so much into football, but when it comes to athletics we are dominant. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: I agree with colleagues that we must come up with legislative proposals that will ensure people like Joe Kadenge, Victor Wanyama, Kipchoge Keino, Conseslus Kipruto, Lorna Kiplagat and Janeth Jepkosgei who is nicknamed “Eldoret Express” among many other sportsmen and women are taken care of because they will remain in the books of history. We had the County Hall of Fame Bill that was brought to this House which I think should have passed. We need to partner with the counties when it comes to honouring our sportspersons such that when you go to, for example, Vihiga County Headquarters, you ... view
