• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was supposed to contribute yesterday but unfortunately I was not in. I thought that the procedure of the House is that if you do not get a chance to contribute, you can do it the next day. I stand guided. view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I agree that this issue is very serious. On behalf of myself and the great people of Nandi County, I join hands and condole with the families that have lost their loved ones through our Senate Minority Leader. I agree that the issue of Mt. Elgon has become cancerous in terms of insecurity. It is very sad that after the Sabaot Land Defense Force (SLDF) militia was wiped out, we have issues of insecurity happening in Mt. Elgon, which is in Bungoma County. There are many underlying factors that trigger insecurity in that region. I ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My concern is that when the Majority Whip brought that answer, most of these things are always done in the interest of national security. It is not in order for the people - I have not made my point, Leader of Minority. You just listen first. view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: If you look at that answer, what is important is that national security overrides any other. If the Government deems it fit to withdraw the security to avoid threatening the peace of the country, then it should be allowed to do that for the interest of the national security and cohesiveness. Kenya is made up of diverse ethnic communities. Before you become a Kenyan, you come from a specific community. So, by the fact that some names were written and there is a perception that they come from the region, it is very unfortunate. view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Minority Leader to say they were ethnically profiled from a particular community? In this country, there are even three tribes that use one name. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As a supplementary question to the Committee on Roads and Transport, I have not heard him mention anything about the road design. I know quite a number of Senators who use that road and some of our people have perished there. We laud the President for withdrawing the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) officials from the roads. Finally, since I come from a community where we believe in extra powerful powers, could the Committee allow us to do some atonement at the black spot so that we can save Kenyans’ lives? view
• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 46 (2) (b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the ongoing recruitment by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) Explain the recruitment policy by the KDF in the ongoing recruitment exercise, indicating the criteria used to identify eligible recruits in various recruitment centres. (2) Explain why youth from various wards were turned away from recruitment centres because their identity cards indicated that they hail from different wards from the centres ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I want to agree with most of the sentiments that my colleagues have expressed. The Senators who have been nominated to the PSC are my neighbours down there; that is, Sen. Khaniri, Sen. Cheruiyot and Sen. Mugo. I am happy because you can see the blend of people with experience and the young. More so, we are happy for Sen. Cheruiyot because if you look at the National Assembly and even this House, most of us are youthful and there are particular demands that young people have which are ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: So, we hope that with the input of Sen. Cheruiyot and other youthful Commissioners, we will give more children to this country, who will ensure that we transform the agenda. Mr. Speaker, Sir, any Senator in this country, with the exception of the Deputy Speaker, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki – who went to that school to ensure that the classroom was built – shows you that Senators do not have anything else except their blood, sweat and energy to give back to their constituents back in the counties. Therefore, it is high time, as the Senate, that we must sit and ... view
