• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support the Motion as amended. The spirit of this Motion moved by Sen. Muthama is very good and the amendment even adds more value. This demonstrates the fact that this Senate recognizes the heroic work of men and women working within our security apparatus. For example, officers working in the military, the police and various other security organs, including the administration. It also demonstrates that we are concerned about their welfare and the welfare of their families. We all agree that officers working in our security ... view

Secondly, I also want to know if the Cabinet Secretary will agree that this is a violation of the national government policy which guarantees free quality secondary education for Kenyan students, including those in day public secondary ... view

Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to join others in thanking the parents for providing a conducive environment and the teachers who guided her through and encouraged her on this course. Her success will obviously inspire many other young people in this country to develop their talent and bring them to the fore. This is ... view

• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank the Committee for doing a good job and making these recommendations to us within a very short time which was at their disposal. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to make reference to a statement which was read from this Report by Sen. Anyang’Nyong’o of Kisumu, which is contained in page 48 of the Report. From that, you can see that the Committee itself has described a situation in Embu County as being toxic: “Toxic relations between a section of the County Assembly Members and the Executive.” I am ... view

• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: I find him guilty of all the three counts as charged because he has been involved in violation of the procurement law; he has failed to constitute the various procurement committees in his county; he has embarked on development projects – the construction of the town hall, the probation offices, the stadium project – without any budgetary provision. If you recall, this is really what led to all this white elephants around the country because projects were started in the 1980s and 1990s, and they stalled because there were no budgetary provisions. This is exactly what the Governor for Embu ... view
