• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: My apologies, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is it in order for the person requesting for a Statement to debate his own Statement?

• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: up in good time. Unfortunately, they did not show up. I want to thank Sen. Sakaja and his Committee for issuing summons that they need to appear. Secondly, the issue of NIIMS is so critical because the proposed changes that they need in terms of registration of persons will affect over 50 legislations in this country.

• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for that indulgence. I made my comments when the new development came up, but I also note that the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government has dismissed the Senate with contempt. I think this is total disregard to the independence of the three Arms of Government. He should respect the Senate and Parliament as a whole because he needs us to assist him in passing this law. The Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Matiang’i, must know that he is being summoned by the Senate in the interest of Kenyans and must appear. It ... view

• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we expect you to give far-reaching directions that will change how Committees will ensure that their reports are presented to this House. As a Chairperson of a Committee, I know that it is not easy, but we try our best to work hard on the reports, Statements or Petitions that come to our Committee or even going through Bills that are proposed by Members and other stakeholders in this country. I support Sen. Dullo that this matter has taken too long. We need to move fast and conclude this issue so that Kenyans can know the truth ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition by the distinguished Senator of Kiambu County, Sen. Wamatangi. I agree that these are very serious issues. There is violation of human rights. As the Committee concerned, we will be very keen and interested to look at the human rights aspect regarding this project of James Gichuru- Rironi road.
