• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. From the outset, I support this Bill. We are doing everything possible to instill and actualise the principles and objects of Article 174 of the Constitution. It is very important that we actualise the dream because when you look at Section 23 of the County Governments Act, it is very clear that any publication can be done through the Kenya view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: or the county gazettes . So, the County Printer will give actualisation to what is talked about in the Office of the County Printer Bill (Senate Bills No. 7 of 2018). To ensure that there is also proper dissemination of information as provide for under Article 35 of the Constitution, this is one of the laws that will enrich in ensuring that we create timely access to information which is held by the state. As you have heard, one needs to come all way to Nairobi to access some of the documents. Some of them do not need to take ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you can see that most Senators are in agreement with me. I should be given time to define “slay queens”. These are people who do not work hard to earn their pay. Therefore, they are more of flower girls and pageboys. We do not just have “slay queens”, we also have “slay kings”. I am not against any person perceived to be a “slay queen”. To clarify to Sen. M. Kajwang', my good friend, no one is against them but the definition and their modusoperandi does not ensure maximum productivity in our counties. That is why ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Chebeni for her statement. I urge the Committee for Education led by sen. (Dr.) Langat to ensure they look into that issue. Yesterday, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) released a report on sexual abuses in our schools. It is very sad that this is happening in our schools. That is why we need to relook and encourage more day schools. According to the report, most sexual offences or abuses happen during games time and 4.30 a.m. to 5.00 a.m. We need to encourage more day schooling to ensure ... view
• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want from the onset to thank Sen. Mwaura for coming up with this Motion on the Review of Policy and Legislative Framework on the Fight Against Corruption. I must agree that we, as a country, are now on the right track by having a conversation about corruption. The Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights of which I chair will do anything possible to ensure we look into this issue. This will be in terms of any policy changes or legislative framework that ... view
• 29 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, and Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for bringing this issue. Those of us from maize growing areas are having a difficult time because there is uproar from the farmers. I call upon the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to ensure that they follow up on the issues that we are raising. The Senators who come from those areas will give them the necessary support. Secondly, I call for prompt payment of farmers, starting from this week. Thirdly, as you have heard, the people who are purportedly mentioned as cartels are not cartels, The electronic version ... view
• 29 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for this wonderful Motion. I am impressed by this Motion because as we talk, there is no brail in Kiswahili. I, therefore, agree that this Motion is timely and we should all support it. I am one of the champions of working with PWDs. They say that disability is not inability. As a champion of this cause, I have participated in many activities. In fact, I am a patron. On 2nd of July, we have organised a marathon in this City to support various initiatives of ... view
• 16 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. As the Majority Leader said, Sen. Judith Pareno will sit there as the judge and must take the position of neutrality in engaging the business in this House. For the short time I have known Sen. Pareno, she a very rational, reasonable and sober woman. As my senior --- view
• 16 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The goodness is that my teacher, the Senate Majority Leader is here. So, you can be sure I cannot make any mistake. I wish her well. Her Curriculum Vitae (CV) is impressive. She has always managed the second largest party very well. Most of the colleagues from the ODM side have benefitted through her hands. They are a blessing because most of them succeeded to be here. We encourage her, that when she sits at that point, to be neutral and give the necessary “Solomonic” guidance in ensuring that we discharge the business of ... view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I join the rest of my colleagues and the country at large to pass our deepest condolences, on behalf of the great people of Nandi County and my own accord, to the victims of the tragic Solai Dam that happened a few days ago. I thank the Senator for Nakuru County, Sen. Kihika, for standing with her people. I also thank the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations led by the Chairman, Sen. Haji, for the intervention as well as many other agencies. I would also like to pass our deepest ... view
