11 Mar 2014 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I am saying is that the squabbling that has been going on among the leaders has not been helpful to devolution. Therefore, this is why I am supporting the Motion that we educate the leaders even more than the wananchi. This is because the wananchi know what they want and expect from the devolved government. It is only the leaders who are not up to what they would like to be. You can notice that I am very careful with my words after the first challenge. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Fourth Schedule gives the ...

6 Mar 2014 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that on 3rd November, 2004, Parliament passed a Motion requiring the Government to release all KCSE certificates held by schools on account of fees balances and requiring schools to cease withholding certificates on account of fees balances; appreciating that in December 2006, the Government of the day ordered the release of all KCSE certificates held by schools, but that the certificates were released only that one time; concerned that since 2007, schools have continued to withhold certificates, especially those of orphans and children from poor families ...

6 Mar 2014 in Senate:
Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senator has already realized his mistake. He was debating without moving the Motion. I think he has now acknowledged and he will move the Motion. That is the point I wanted to raise. FORMATION OF A COMMITTEE TO UNDERTAKE SECURITY REVIEW IN KENYA

6 Mar 2014 in Senate:
Madam Temporary Speaker, let me, first, congratulate Sen. G. G. Kariuki. Ever since he came to the Senate, he has been very concerned about security issues. Every Motion that he drafts concerns security. No wonder he was at one time my Minister for Internal Security. The issue of insecurity in this country is real. We have recently noticed and heard of crimes that we had never heard before, for example, in Kirinyaga, Murang’a and elsewhere. Most of them ended up in deaths of innocent Kenyans. The issue of cattle rustling is as old as this nation. One wonders why it ...

14 Feb 2014 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to say that I have known Governor Wambora for a very long time, from our shared history in the public service and later in the Ninth Parliament as Member for Runyenjes. I think that it is very sad that Governor Wambora is likely to go down in history as the first Governor to be impeached by this Senate, under the new constitutional dispensation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, like Sen. Keter, I came into this House this afternoon with an open mind. I wanted to be convinced by this Committee that we selected whether ...

5 Dec 2013 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the process ends up with His Excellency the President. Have you bothered to find out why His Excellency the President entertains these Bills when they have not followed the procedure?

5 Dec 2013 in Senate:
If His Excellency the President returns these Bills to the National Assembly and says “These Bills did not follow the procedure; let them follow the procedure;” I think we would not be where we are today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in addition to talking to your counterpart, seek audience with His Excellency the President and seek his opinion as to whether he should be entertaining Bills for assent which have not followed the right procedure. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.
