• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I presented a Petition on behalf of the Kirinyaga Miherega Kenda ; that is the nine clans, concerning the border dispute between Kirinyaga and Embu counties in respect of the 54,000 acres known as Mwea Trust Land. The Petition was thereafter committed to the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights which pursuant to Standing Order No.227 was required to respond by way of a report addressed to the petitioners and laid on the Table of the Senate in not more than 60 calendar days. My point of order relates to ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is astonishing that some people can escape the rules of the game. In the Senate we have the 60 days period that is provided for in our Standing Orders, which are our guiding principles. What exempts the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights from abiding by the 60-days rule? There must be a ruling from the Speaker telling us whether there are some Committees which are superior, to the extent of taking the Senate for granted. Secondly, there is allocation and demarcation of land that is going on and one of the prayers of the ... view

• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the key issue is that the County of Embu is issuing title deeds to people living in the same area that is under dispute. Could I request that an order be imposed so that they stop the process? view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with Isiolo residents because one person can decide the destiny of a whole county. I have been to the famous Buffalo Springs in Isiolo. That hotel collects a lot of money, going by the look of things and even its location. It is prudent that we must be able to come up with measures of trying to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this document arises out of what we knew one time; that there was no proper census taken. If that is true, the document is fraudulent. Some of the figures that are in that report are used to allocate money from the national kitty. It is, therefore, important that we get serious about the figures that we have. The figures for some pastoral areas purport to be even more than those of Kirinyaga. We need to know whether those figures are correct and authentic. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the incident that happened to the three victims at Athi River is unfortunate. This is not the first time that we are discussing the brutality of the police. It has happened in some of our counties before. Last month, a police officer killed a civilian in a bar in Kiangwaci, Kirinyaga County. The only disciplinary action that was taken against that officer was to transfer him to an unknown destination. The other month, a police officer killed another person in a bar. It was taken as a normal incident and the police officer was also transferred. ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank You, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In absence of any other contributor, you can extend my time to maybe 15 minutes until we get the next contributor coming around. I am happy to be here and support the Committee, and wish that what prompted this Committee to be formed should not be used as a precedent to prompt other commissions to be under surveillance. In this case, I am imagining that we are not going to use the same method which was used to have a committee formed and discussed in the Senate and extend it to other constitutional committees. ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two statements that I am expecting will be issued today. By the look of things, the Chairpersons of the Committees are not here. This is my worry and I seek your intervention. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, I wish to extend my congratulations and welcome to the students from Kiambu County. They have found it necessary to come and see how we perform our duties and activities. I would like them to continue observing what is good. What is not good, they should not carry it with them. This House comprises of what you see and hear. view
