• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution on this very important Petition from Kericho County. Land issues are very emotive and should be handled seriously. I really wish that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr’s Bill had succeeded, because these particular issues would not be giving us these problems. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Yes, the challenge is on the other side; that is what I mean. The other side is a great let down to this House on such matters. I wish that they would understand because we are handling issues affecting our counties directly. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Before I sit, I would like to say one thing--- view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: May I clarify that I wish that the National Assembly understood the importance of this Bill, so that it assists us in handling matters to do with land. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: If we study very clearly about issues to do with Post-Election Violence (PEV), it has always been triggered by disputes on election matters, but the underlying issues are always to do with land. We need to handle this issue on land. We would like to tell Gov. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o that the time for struggling and partitioning for land happened a long time ago in the Berlin Conference of 1884. At this point of time, he should not engage himself in such primitive ways of trying to expand boundaries. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: The Committee that will handle this particular matter should do it with urgency as we move towards elections, so that we do elections peacefully without land disputes that can easily trigger other matters. I support this Petition. It is a good Petition that should be handled in line with other related petitions pertaining to all the other parts of this country. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view

• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I want to concur with what Sen. Cherargei and Sen. Wambua have said. This is an important matter that most of us should make our contributions on. Kindly extend time. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to congratulate the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for the tremendous work that they have done on matters concerning these constitutional amendments. Constitutional making is a very important process. The Constitution determines the development of a country because it sets a framework for everything that will be done. As Sen. Wetangula said, when it comes to matters that touch on this Senate, we must work together and have one voice. We want to make sure that we strengthen the Senate. I also want to congratulate the governors--- view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I wanted to say something very important. Yesterday, governors said something very important. They mentioned that the Senate should be strengthened. If others outside there, including the citizens of this country, are working hard to make sure that the Senate is strengthened, what about us? Imagine the strength of the National Assembly. All the Ministers will come from the National Assembly, including the ministries that serve the devolved functions. The CS for Devolution will come from that quarter. You can see how strong the other House will be compared to this one. The ladies in the other ... view
