• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to join other Members of the Senate in appreciating Nandi County. Nandi County is setting the pace and I would like other counties to emulate them. There are many counties suffering from the same problem but it is only that for fear of the unknown, they are not able to come out forthright to tell us what is ailing the counties. The problems are immense. Let us congratulate Nandi County and ask other counties to wake up. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute in support of the Bill which is on the Floor of the House. I thank my friend, Sen. Musila, for consistently finding time and not losing patience in pursuit of what we will call “the necessary step”. This is the right thing in the right direction. As the Chairman of the Committee on Education, I have pushed for clauses which I believe will be of use and could be used in the education sector in Kenya where nobody will exploit the other one. Madam Temporary Speaker, ... view
• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order Madam Temporary Speaker. We are discussing amendment of the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). However, I am surprised that Sen. Wetangula is taking us to greater heights which are not even related to education. Is he in order? view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also take this opportunity to welcome the delegations from Turkana, Vihiga, West Pokot and Nyamira counties. I am sure that we did a lot of induction to them. I can assure you that they are now qualified to do what they have learnt from the Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation. I thank you. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is being said here is that there are governors who have come up with their own armies. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Adan is advising what is supposed to be done in a normal situation. However, there are some governors in this country who have their own guards for their own protection. No one else can hire them even if you are a Member of Parliament. It will be very hard for anybody else to use those guards. In fact, we refer to them as gangs that have been recruited mysteriously. We want to get rid of those gangs in our counties. Otherwise, we might find ourselves in a lot of problems when the campaigns start. These ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason is that we are all concerned about these Bills. As the Chairman of the Committee on Education, I have heard the same kind of mistreatment in the name of presentation of Bills in this House. You realize that when a Bill is read the First Time, it might take about two or three months before it is read a Second Time. When we are all here and ready to vote on county matters, people just walk leisurely out of the Chamber. I do not know whether we have Standing Orders which can prevent people ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to remind Kenyans that when a person is born, he is issued with a birth certificate. When he marries, he is issued with a marriage certificate. When he attends school and completes his studies; he is issued with a school leaving certificate. We have available data in Kenya. Therefore, when it comes to the issuance of identity cards, it is very easy for the Government to do so because they have all the information that they require. Why do they say that they do not have sufficient information? There are also so many identity ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 45(2) (b), to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations relating to the killing of Mr. Eliud Wachira Gachoki on Sunday, 25th January, 2015. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (a) Explain whether he is aware that Mr. Eliud Wachira Gachoki was found lying in a pool of blood dead at his doorstep in Kimuri Estate, Kerugoya Town, on Sunday, 25th January, 2015 and that he had a deep cut on his head and a ... view
