• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm what is ongoing to remedy the situation. What the Committee wants to do is to give the hon. Senator a statement of the cause, remedy and what we should do to ensure that it does not occur again. But I want to confirm that work is ongoing. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that the most important thing is to have the power in town. This is a matter of generators, procurement of spares and so on. I want to assure Sen. Billow that the Committee shares his concerns. In fact, we do not see why it should have taken that long. However, I want to assure him that we are pushing to ensure that power is restored even before we come to give a statement as to why it happened and what should be done so that it does not happen. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to congratulate Sen. Hassan for being brave enough to bring this Motion to this House. I congratulate his sincerity. I also want to congratulate the leadership of Mombasa County, including Muslims, Christians and politicians for coming out strongly to condemn this incident at Likoni. The Senate should do the same and condemn the killings in Likoni in the strongest terms possible. There has been a series of similar killings in other parts of the country including Wajir, Mandera, Garissa and Nairobi. Kenya must now face this problem head on. Two weeks ago, Sen. ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was going to humbly suggest to the aggrieved colleagues to cross the Floor and we will be very glad to accommodate them on our side. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support this Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was honoured by this Senate to be nominated and appointed as a Member of the Parliamentary Service Commission, which position I have served to the best of my ability, despite the shortcomings that my able leader has mentioned. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Constitution is very clear that in addition to the Members of the National Assembly and Members of the Senate who serve in this Commission, two nominees must come from outside, hence the reason this Motion is before us; in ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to second this amendment. In seconding, I want to thank the Mover of the original Motion because the pride of any nation is through its security forces. Anything that happens surrounds the security of the nation. For some time now, we have realized how important it is for us to look after our military and our security personnel, particularly when they are injured in the line of duty. This has not just come up now. It was realized some time ago when an insurance firm by the name United Insurance Company was used ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether anyone congratulated you for being our Speaker this afternoon. In case it was not done, please, accept my congratulations. You are doing very well. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank and congratulate my brother, Sen. Wako, for this timely Motion. If there is anything good that has ever happened to this Republic, it is the new Constitution that embraced devolution. As you know, this was attempted before after Independence, but those who did not mean well for this country abolished devolution. We would be very ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I respect the gracious lady. Even if I said that, which I doubt, I did not mean literary that. It means compared to what we ought to have been doing. view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I doubt whether I said that. But if I did, it is to mean that if we did what we ought to have been doing, if we were performing properly, we would be very far today. Nevertheless, I know that the gracious lady knows that we work very hard, but have not reached the target of what we should be doing. We would be doing better if there were no squabbles and superiority contests. In fact, there is no need--- view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will forgive me, but I do not know why the gracious ladies are--- view
