• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for also giving me this opportunity to mourn one of our great leaders, the late Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. Death is a monster that spares no one irrespective of wisdom or knowledge. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: The late Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka was a great man. I heard many of us talk about him as a great debater. Indeed he was a great debater. If anyone ever sat with him outside this particular House in a free environment and listened to him, they will agree that he was a man with a lot of knowledge. He aspired to become the next governor of Machakos. He had a plan for that particular vision. I remember one time I asked him if he was an economist because his arguments in the area of economics expressed a lot of wisdom ... view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: As Sen. Cheruiyot has said, I want to express a lot of concern to the MCK. Sometimes what the social media and even the mainstream media say about people, especially when they are dead, is disrespectful to the families. They forget about the ethics they learnt in the university about being mindful of the significant other people. Sometimes what they say is more injurious to the living than even--- view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to say something. I want to deeply oppose this Motion. The first reason is due to procedure. If we are not careful as a House, the irregularities that are happening in the county assemblies are likely to translate to this House. It was not very clear up to this time if the threshold was met in the County Assembly. Unless we are careful, sooner than later, this House will be converted by the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) as a lynching ground for governors. Governors are now under fear. They ... view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: We must be careful with the procedures taking place in the county assembly or else we risk this House becoming a lynching ground for the MCAs who have a lot of unrealistic demands on governors. I beseech this House that if only we could send this case back to the MCAs, so that the procedure is followed effectively, we have no problems with results. However, a faulty process leads to faulty results. I beg this House to reconsider this matter with the seriousness it deserves as a way of protecting devolution. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Dec 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Dec 2020 in Senate: In order for us to move on, I tend to think that some questions require only a “yes” or a “no” answer. It is so simple. That does not require any consultation from somebody. These are the kinds of question where a “yes” or a “no” answer will do. It is so simple. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Petition by Sen. Seneta. Issues to do with title deeds have become a great challenge to development. Apart from this Jamii Bora which has denied the petitioners their rightful title deeds, there are other places with more challenges. In the areas surrounding Mau Forest, for instance, there are some people who have title deeds which were declared by some provisional administrators as mere papers. These people bought land from other people and were issued with title deeds which have been declared fake. Another challenge that is facing ... view
