• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is surprising that the Meru King is trying to insinuate that I refused or ignored but that is not true. I had indicated to him that the matter has since been taken to the Cabinet Secretary. I have been to Jogoo House House twice seeking for the answer. That is the reason why we need to know who exactly should be blamed in case of a failure of that nature. We are appearing that we are errand boys because every time we have to seek answers for such requests. So, I am doing all I can ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for all intents and purposes, it is important that we make this very clear. When a Statement is sought by a Member through the Chairman of a Committee, what is expected of the Chairman to do so that he can bring the answer? What is the procedure? The moment it is sought, it is not the responsibility of the Chair to go looking for the Minister. The moment it is sought here, it is supposed to be relayed to the Minister through the Clerk’s office, then we get the answer in our office which we read to ... view

• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one thing I know is that the history he is giving us is also wrong. He did not come here in 16th Century. He came here in the 18th Century. To be specific, he was here in 1848. That is exactly what happened. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we had quite a lot of historical engagements across the coast which they should have used to develop schools. However, that was not possible. We noted that most of those schools have been neglected for a long time. We are asking residents of the area to seriously consider the plight of the young boys and girls who stay in those classrooms unattended. In this case, we are asking the county governments to provide toilet facilities. In some areas, we noted that children did not even have toilets. Several bushes were designed for the girls while others ... view
