• 25 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important for Dr. Machage to note that for you to start any project, there must be a pilot scheme. This is one of the pilot schemes which are there. So, eventually, the whole country will be covered. Let him be informed about that. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute and pass my sympathies to all those people who were affected by the brutal actions meted out by terrorists on Saturday, Sunday and yesterday. We are not sure whether they are there or not. We are yet to be informed. I am saddened because I would have been caught up in the violence at the Mall. However, my conscience was clear and within two minutes, I had already made a decision not to go. My nephew was there and held for five hours with his children. He managed ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: also to ask them whether they were alert when those things were happening. It is important to say that it can happen to anybody. It has not happened in some countries. Those are the countries where we should visit to find out what they do to avert such happenings in future. Madam Temporary Speaker, we need to deploy more of our intelligence people on the ground, in the air and even in the waters, just like the Israelis do. They have now earned a name for being the most protected country in the world. If there is a way we ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Gideon Moi for the brief answer to my question. The purpose of knowing the contractor of this road is because we have very many cowboy contractors on our roads. We were not informed who the contractor was. The contractor is never on site. There is no campsite. Therefore, there is nobody who can be consulted in case of any problem arising along that road. I come from there and I drive almost daily on that road. The road has caused very many deaths to Kirinyaga residents. We are wondering whether there is anyone ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is not a new terminology. It was coined long before the Ninth Parliament. When I was there, we used to use it. During the Tenth Parliament, it was also used to describe the shoddy work that was being done 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 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, protect me. That is my stand. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I think it is important that we are careful in the way we use the word and the terminology “marginalization”. To me, it appears like the word will never cease to be used because it is always used when you want to describe the position that you are in geographically, historically or otherwise. Of late, you realize that we have had many discoveries of minerals. Turkana has the largest reserve of water, if not oil. In Taveta and Kwale counties, we have discoveries of minerals. I think the term “marginalization” should now ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, towards the end of the last session on the 31st of July, 2013, I tabled a Petition from Mwea rice farmers to this august Senate and we were not given directions as to how the Petition was to be handled. I am, therefore, requesting you to direct the Petition to the relevant Committee in the House for further discussion. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. I beg to support and say that the way political parties are designed in Kenya is like they must fete the founder. For example, when it is somebody from Lake Victoria, without naming anybody, he will make sure that all those people who come from that region belong to that party. Another one from Eastern will do the same. Therefore, we end up creating regional parties. As far as I am concerned, political parties are tools to articulate the policies of that party in trying to democratize ... view
