• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is true that some people here are not aware about Majid from Malindi. For example, Sen. Keter may not be aware. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have also in this House--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Okay. I withdraw so that I can continue. With regard to the Port of Mombasa, it is not only national but an international port. According to what the Committee has done, they have done a good thing to tell us about Mombasa, but they should have gone further to tell us how this port can be expanded, how it can be used by Kenya or the hinterland countries like South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Eastern Coast of Congo (DRC). That is the reason we need to expand Mombasa to a bigger port. So, what did they find out ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We are considering a state with its own population. In developed countries, we have welfare states like Britain, France and Italy. Those countries have a system where the old, going by the nature of their economy, will have made so much money for the country such that the country concerned now feels obligated to make sure that, that person when he gets to over 70 years of age, will be protected by the government while at home. That is what we are trying to import from those devolved countries and it can happen. Mr. ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you can also live up to 200 years if you trust in God. Everything is possible if you trust in God. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even at 100 years, people are old but they still want to live a good life. You would like the 100 years to continue to infinity. But history and geography have it that there is the theory of isostatic equilibrium, which will at one time make sure that the earth itself also holds the weight of a human being. That is why they have to die and the resurrection is somewhere else. That is what we call the end of that life. So, one has to die anyway at that age. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, some ... view
• 18 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir for allowing me to speak on this very important Motion. I appreciate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with the Motion in the Senate. We talk about strikes when we have a case to push through with the Government. However, according to the whole scenario, this is instigated by the Vice Chancellors themselves. The money was approved by the Government. There were negotiations earlier by the Government for the money to be paid to the lecturers. Sometimes decisions can go haywire. Instead of the money going to salaries, it was used to do other ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Motion is important. It is something that should not even have taken too much time because it is obvious. It is asking for something that should be done after an obvious thing has happened. When somebody dies in service, obviously, he or she is supposed to be compensated. This is what we are trying to drive towards. We are trying to get the Government machinery to know that something obvious should not take a lot of time being discussed in a House like this one. However, the absence of that action is what is prompting ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, quietly, we should sneak in teachers. I support. view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion which, according to me, is very timely. It has come at the right time. This is a Motion that should have come before all the other Motions because it is the mother and father of our mood and nationalism that we have. When we were passing the Constitution in 2010, it was noted that some communities elsewhere did not need to read the Constitution because only one person was required to read it and interpret it. I will not elaborate. When it was asked ... view
