• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. This is a very important Statement from Sen. Prengei. In fact, when I heard of the same through the media, I was shocked. How can the security people come up with such a measure as a way of handling security matters of stopping people from growing maize? They already know that those criminals have been hiding in the maize plantations. What other measures could they have taken that are better than stopping people from growing maize? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: I saw on television that most of the farmers have already ploughed their land in readiness to plant their crops. This is a country where agriculture provides a lot of employment and is a source of livelihood. If these people are stopped from growing maize, they are rendered jobless, and it opens room for some of them to die of hunger. This is not a solution to security matters in this country. The security personnel should step up and come up with effective measures of making sure that security in these places is put in place in a better way. ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: I doubt that. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to eulogize the great man. I want to begin by saying that the late Sen. Yusuf Haji was a selfless man. He loved everybody and you are a witness. When he was a Member of the Committee on Education, all the time we nominated him to travel outside the country, he would give his chance to somebody else. He was such a good man. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: We learnt many good things from him. He was a good time manager. More often than not, we found him seated in the meeting room waiting for us. He would always tell us that we are still young but we waste time. So, we learnt time management from him view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Another thing I learnt from the late Sen. Yusuf Haji was the fact that he loved physical exercises so much. I remember when we were in Mombasa one time for a conference, every morning you could find him walking. He would tell us that it was his routine to walk for 10 kilometres every morning. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: I want to concur and support what the President did in Kisii, that is, renaming Gusii Stadium to Simeon Nyachae Stadium. By extension, as the Senate, we would like to encourage the Executive to come up with something important and name it after Sen. Haji, so that we can remember him for a long time. Therefore, I would like to urge the people from North Eastern region, especially from Garissa, and the people of Rift Valley--- Remember he was the longest serving Provincial Commissioner (PC) in Rift Valley, who served diligently and gave most of us an opportunity to realize ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice to this important Statement. Up to this time, it is somehow very surprising that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has not come out clearly on the roadmap towards 2022. The composition of the commissioners is not enough to run an electoral commission effectively. Somehow, we are under cover by the activities of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) with a perception that everything will be handled by the BBI, which is facing many challenges. Therefore, I concur with Sen. Seneta that this Statement is so important that ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Language is dynamic in nature and most of the words adapt their meaning based on context at a particular point in time. At this particular time in Kenya, ‘hustler’ is understood to be a hardworking person, attempting to earn a genuine living right from a lower cadre, so that in future, the person can be privileged like any other person. This is the most understood and genuine meaning, currently. Language is dynamic and can adapt several meanings. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would also like to join you and the rest in supporting this Motion. It is a very important year. In this year, we shall be very active on Bills that support the common mwananchi. I have a lot of confidence in this particular group of Senators. I would like to encourage them to do their work with a lot of effort so that we move forward to make sure that the Bills that are very important to our people pass through. view
