Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Initially, he had said that all those champions come from the Rift Valley region, it is not true but he has corrected himself by saying that even Somalis, Kikuyus and Kambas participate.

30 Sep 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as the Chairman of the Committee on Education, I am alarmed when the position of the Speaker or the Chairman, for that matter, chooses not to recognize students when they come to the Senate. When I am here I see students come in and within five minutes, they go out and others come in. They leave like they are appearing here technically. We need to recognise they are here to learn more history and civics of this country. If they are asked about Senate or Parliament, proceedings, debates, and motions, among others, they will be in ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. There is always someone called “officer in charge of education” matters in Parliament. He is the one who should be charged with the responsibility of making sure that if students are coming to sit in the Public Gallery, the information should be relayed to the Serjeant-at-Arms, so that you are informed. Otherwise, any other member of the public may come and go unnoticed. For the purposes of students, it is that officer in charge of education matters who takes them round. This is part of learning; it is not just a ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Bungoma is insinuating improper motive on my position. Is he in order to imagine that I can go by the numerical age that he is trying to suggest? I could be younger.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to contribute in support of the petitioner. The petitioner is telling us that something is wrong in the method and the process. First of all, we, as Senate, should pay more attention to the issuance of identification cards. There are so many identification cards which are lying in the county commissioners’ offices all over the Republic. The first thing we should do is to make sure that all identification cards which have been issued to potential voters should be released and issued through supervision. This will ensure that whatever will be ...

29 Sep 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that you have made a ruling regarding the two delegations sitting in different galleries and they are on internship, could we reverse the position, so that the delegation from Bungoma moves from where they are to the Speaker’s Gallery? It is not too late to do that and they are all learning. They have learnt that a mistake can be made by the Senate.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to second this very important Bill. It is important in the sense that all of us will age whether we like it or not. We will get to a point where we cannot talk with vibrancy the way we are doing now. We should also underscore the fact that age will catch up with us soon. We need to embrace the idea that when you reach 60 years, which is the retirement age for most of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified ...

24 Sep 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for allowing me to contribute in support of this Motion. The land issue is as old as history; and history is as old as the Bible. However, what we are discussing is the outcome of what we can call the initial scramble and partition of colonies in Africa. It all started in 1894. We can therefore blame the British, the Dutch and the Germans who in 1890 had to transfer Witu which was along the coast in exchange of an island called Heligoland in Germany. Germany did not have a naval base ...
