• 18 Nov 2014 in Senate: It is me, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand on a point of order because two months ago, I requested a Statement on the issue of land in Kitui County. The Committee was given the work to investigate the matter. In fact, they investigated the matter because they summoned me and the Governor of Kitui County. We gave our evidence. Could I ask the Committee when they will give us the report? I think they have done the investigations. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in Senate: The Committee on Land and Natural Resources. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in Senate: Much obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have no problem with Thursday, next week. view
• 6 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I will be excused because I just want to assist the Chair and say that some of us did not vote electronically because we thought that we had voted. However, when we checked later, we were told that our cards were defective. They could not be used to vote. So, we voted through assistance. I am one of those who did not vote but it is because I thought that my card was working while it was not working. I am sure there are two other Members. view

• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking your indulgence and that of the House. This is because when my friend, Sen. Munyes stood, I thought that he was specifically going to talk about his predicament. I want to say how sorry we were. Our guards should be trained because the incident that happened to Sen. Munyes is likely to happen elsewhere. The security men that we have today appear not to have been trained. So, I want to appeal to the Inspector-General to ensure that all security guards assigned to protect us and other very important ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to add to what Sen. Lesuuda has said. First of all, it is not just Turkana County or other counties that are considered to be remote that have this problem. The shortage of teachers affects the whole country. This afternoon, through your communication, you said there were children from Kitui County in the galleries. If you ask them, they will tell you that they have no teachers. Could he give us a breakdown of the shortage of teachers per county so that we can see the magnitude of the problem? It is better that the ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support the Motion for the Senate to adjourn. In the case of Makueni, some of us have been very embarrassed by the situation that is prevailing in that county. I want to inform this Senate that Sen. Muthama, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and myself have, since the day of the incident, been trying to see how we can resolve the differences that are prevailing in that county. Unfortunately, we have not been able to make headway simply because the two sides are so much apart. But we have not given up; we are ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: I agree. This is my very good neighbour. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I got the information, although he prolonged it too much but I thank him, anyway. But, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we should have had an informal meeting so that we agree that A, B, and C will go and deal with Isiolo; C and D will deal with Makueni and then we will converge when we resume with reports. I think there is something amiss here; whether it is budget, whether it is Makueni or Isiolo, we must be very clear when we are adjourning what role these Senators who are adjourning to go and resolve ... view
