• 19 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, from the definition given, we still have college graduates from teaching colleges who may not get teaching jobs after graduating. We also have the graduates themselves like I was one time although I got a job. The difference here is in the use of the terminology although it is still not very clear. Madam Temporary Speaker, the figure we have been given here is that we have over 70 per cent of unemployed youth. That was according to my friend, Mr. G. G. Kariuki. However, this may not be correct. They could either be less or more. ... view
• 2 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance again to say something about the Motion that is in front of us. This Motion is very important to our country and if the Government can do what we are going to recommend here, then I am sure we will be quite ahead of other countries in the region. More so, where the youth are concerned with regard to abuse of drugs and alcohol, we have had a very sorry state of affairs even when we listen to the radio or we see what is happening on ... view
• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to contribute to the Bill in front of us. As I support, from the outset, let me take some time to digress to what might have prompted the Lower House to discuss us last evening. Possibly, this was because of this Bill vis-a-vis who should contribute to it. In the first place, it appears as if majority of the people in the Lower House are competing with Senators. We concluded elections on March 4th and they could not beat the Senators. They are aware that the number of votes we ... view
• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I withdraw that and continue. What we have in front of us is a budget which we are supposed to scrutinize. That is what we are doing and we have the mandate to do so. As I stand here, I have a feeling that we, as Senators, need to be seen as having the power to endorse, discuss and dispose of this Bill as we pass it with or without amendments. view
• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The position is that we have power under the Constitution. That is the power we will exercise here. One thing we need to think about here is how the Kshs190 billion was arrived at as per the schedule and the retention of Kshs20 billion at the national government to finance national issues. You reckon that most responsibilities and functions at the counties are almost similar to those of the national government. Therefore, it is needless to discuss the functions that county governments will continue with as opposed to the central government. We need to equate ... view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. In support, it is very important that we address ourselves to this kind of problem in the country. It is true that our soldiers did and are doing very well in Somalia. It is also true that they have done very well in other foreign countries. However, we are doubtful whether they are capable of solving internal conflicts and problems that we are getting from the regions that we have heard here; Bungoma--- view

• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, certainly all these people were drawn from Kenya. There is a way that we can have them devolved in the whole country.

• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once again, thank you very much for giving me this time also to pay my condolences and those of my county to our beloved Senator who has just departed. I am here because of having been a teacher; I remember that when we were in the church, Governor Kibwana was trying to say how he was going to the kitchen and getting food for whoever – and I happened to have been in that school as a teacher – and I felt very sorry that one of the old boys of Machakos High School had to ... view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to contribute on this Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Motion which should have taken time before being brought to this House. To me, it looks okay, but a bit more ambitious going by the level The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
