• 21 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to express my utmost sympathy with my colleague and friend, Sen. Haji. I have asked questions about our border problems every time since September, this always been postponed till today. I have not heard anything. More importantly, we are talking about the security of one of our Senators, Sen. Muthama. Since the security of Sen. Muthama was withdrawn, we have not seen Sen. Muthama here. He is scared and, therefore, staying in his house. I speak to Sen. Muthama every morning to find out whether he is still alive because you never know why his ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Motion. I stand here to declare my support for the Motion. As the Mover of the Motion has stated, agriculture is the backbone of Kenya’s economy. In Kiswahili they say: Kilimo ni uti wa mgongo wa taifa letu . This is a statement that is made every time. This is a statement that has been made ever since this country came into being. However, we give lip service to this statement. Therefore, this Motion is so appropriate because if Kenya is to be self ... view

• 12 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologize for coming late. But I sought for a Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on Education and Information Technology over a month ago. This concerns the withheld certificates of students who finished schooling, did examinations and head teachers continue to hold their certificates on account of unpaid fees balances, notwithstanding that we passed a law last year making it illegal for anyone to withhold a student’s certificate. I would like to know when this Statement will be brought to the Senate because it is over a month since I sought for that Statement. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairman of the Committee, but it is to be appreciated that the more these certificates are delayed in the hands of head teachers, the more the former students suffer because they cannot access employment. Recently, as you are aware, there was a recruitment exercise into the armed forces and many youth all over the country could not attend the recruitment exercise because they lacked this important document. Could it be the final promise, that within two weeks, he will bring the Statement here? I know the Chair is also concerned because Murang’a County ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the engineer for the Statement. The Senator has made reference to a road in my county, that is, Kitui- Kangonde which he claims was done successfully. This road took 11 years to be completed by Victory Construction Company. By the time it was completed, the area that they started with had already started peeling off. I want to make that clear as a matter of record. The road will be dilapidated again by the time they finish it. But more The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view

• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a lot respect for my colleague, Sen. Mositet, as well as my brother, Sen. Muthama. But with utmost respect, I want to oppose this amendment and even the main Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to confirm that the problems that have been narrated by my senior Senator and former Minister for Internal Security, Sen. G.G Kariuki, are real. It is happening and I want to confirm that in Kitui County we have a lot of insecurity. As you aware, we spend a lot of time here, yesterday afternoon, talking about the insecurity that is ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, first, want to thank Sen. Wamatangi for bringing this very grave matter of spilling of the sewage into rivers and contaminating the sources of water where most of our people take water from. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Chairperson say that they are waiting for money from the World Bank. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, where are we heading to? Our people are drinking contaminated water and the Government says it is waiting for money from the World Bank. Perhaps that is why, as of now, despite the assurance by the Chairperson that something is being done, nothing is being done – and I can confirm that. Could the Chairperson use all his power, along with his Committee, to make sure that this sewerage line is repaired immediately because it is a matter of life and death? Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
