• 26 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you my colleagues, Senators and all those who elected me to the position of a Chairperson this afternoon. I am happy that this Motion has been dissected properly. It has been discussed and laid bare by the speakers. I am happy to note that the contribution was very rich in both words and material. It is also important to note that this Motion touches every corner of this country and affects the society. The Motion is very inclusive and is self explanatory in that we need to have our people literate. ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to join my fellow Senators in supporting this annual calendar as tabled by the Senate Majority Leader. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this calendar appears like a term-date calendar, in the sense that the total number of days that we are going to have recess is 159 out 365 days- and-a-quarter. That is quite a good proportion of time. I believe that this time will be enough for all of us who are in active Committees to visit the counties and make sure that, at least, they appraise the problems that various counties are ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this time to also thank Sen. Musila for doing a commendable job. Before he moved this Motion, I was seated next to him and I was impressed to see the arrangement of papers that show the first time that this Motion was moved from November, 2004. As he moved the Motion, it is already on record that I opposed it. I opposed it because I knew the repercussion that it would have on the head teachers of secondary schools. At that time, I had just moved from being a head ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this chance. I condemn this act. I am very saddened by the outcome. We should not spend a lot of time discussing what has been there before. We have read about this issue in the newspapers. Some of us have experienced such an issue, particularly when we had the Westgate problem. What is required is to organize a permanent defence force along the coast, particularly in Mombasa County. They should be permanently stationed there to guard the port and the coastal line. Without the coast, Kenya is not there. We must be able ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek further clarification as to who is to blame when you talk of under-funding of construction of a road because I have a similar problem in Kirinyaga County. There is road from Kutus to Kerugoya, passing through Kagumo and then Karatina. Do we blame the contractor or the Government for under-funding? What should happen to the residents who are supposed to use that road? view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Would it not be in order for the Chairman and the Committee to first of all, fast track the roads which have already stalled, like the one in Kerugoya, instead of embarking on the new structures? view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am responding on behalf of the former chairman who has just left. We are yet to elect a chairman but we shall do that on Wednesday. The process takes a bit long--- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: We are not ready because the chairman has not been elected. In two or three weeks, the Committee will sit--- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: Two weeks then. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. History has it that ole Ntimama is from Narok. Therefore, until the Senator for Meru tells us about his biological background, we still believe that he is the leader of Maasai in Narok. view
