• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Calendar that is before us. It is also important that we are informed of other activities or events of the Senate on time. This morning we were invited for a retreat to be held tomorrow in Naivasha. This was done through the WhatsApp Group. I do not know if this is a formal way of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for informing me. I cannot challenge you but I have not received my invitation yet except for the modern way of communication through WhatsApp. I support this calendar before us and I believe being our final session in the Senate, and the majority of us are eyeing different seats, we shall have very few of us coming here. I believe we shall give it the best in terms of debate, Motions and Bills that will come before us. I support. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we all know that education and training is important to the children and youth of our country or any other society. I want to appreciate the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on Education who represented us in the UNESCO meeting. Kenya relates well with UNESCO on different matters, including social and human science, culture and communication, as well as education.

• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know how best to prove that, but I am a wife and mother. Does the Senator want me to bring my baby to the Senate? I was trying to indicate that once the Government makes a promise to deliver something, it must be done. It is true that Class One pupils in this country were promised laptops and that has not been fulfilled. We know that there is a pilot project that the Government is undertaking in some schools. We also know that the teachers are not competent in the use of these ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also stand to support the Report which is on the Floor of the House. This Report was completed in 2015and the main problem is the border issue in Laikipia, Turkana, Pokot and Baringo. Last week and part of this week, we are still experiencing problems in one of the counties that had already been mentioned. Therefore, the Committee should ensure that the relevant Ministry implements the observations and recommendations that were developed by the Committee. Madam Temporary Speaker, insecurity is on the rise not only in these places but also in other parts of ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: The police live under poor conditions. They do not get clean water, electricity supply and good housing, yet we expect them to serve our county well. The money that is allocated to the Ministry should be used properly and to improve the living condition of police officers. I wish to rest my case by saying that the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits were in the wrong hands. The other day we saw them being used in Eastleigh. This issue should be addressed by the leadership of the Jubilee administration. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Chairperson. It is such a shame that a country, which is supposed to be ‘digitalized’ by now is going back to the traditional way; the manual system of conducting elections, which is time wasting and unreliable. People spent their time and more than 54 delegations gave their submissions through public participation. Most of them were in support of the electronic system. Mr. S.K. Macharia said that it is possible to transmit results electronically and also use electronic backup. I do not know why we are insisting on using a manual backup. Some people are talking The electronic ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. This is an eye opener to Kenyans that it might be mandatory for every Kenyan above 18 years to participate in the voting exercise. Looking at 26A and B when we talk about the House of Parliament even outside there people know that you are referring to the National Assembly and I am happy that it is captured in part D that Houses of Parliament talks of the National Assembly and the Senate and this is so clear to our colleagues who are keeping quiet here that Parliament refers to the Senate and the National ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, it is a very sad night that we are sitting here and other people are blindly supporting a legislation that will kill the Senate. How do we allow the National Assembly to provoke us to this level? This is not the first time that the National Assembly has sought to exclude the role of the Senate through legislation. Some of us are here waiting to vote for this legislation, the election law that will affect the future of the Senate. The country is watching. I urge my fellow Senators that it is high time the recommendations that ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment. Before I sit down, I would like to protest. We have people here laughing anyhow yet they are not contributing to the fundamental things that we are discussing here but they are just waiting to vote. Sen. Wetangula is our Senate Minority Leader and he deserves respect. In the Standing Orders, Paragraph 87 is about Point of Orders and they must be granted. I protest. view
