• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand here to support this Motion and also applaud my colleagues, Senators, for the very valuable contributions they have made to this Motion. This Motion calls upon the Registrar of Political Parties to immediately release funds to political parties in accordance with the Act and the Constitution. When this Act was enacted, the whole idea was to strengthen political parties. Unfortunately, those of us who run parties have gone round to defeat the principles of the Act which was to strengthen them and by extension reduce their numbers. As long as we have so many parties, ... view
• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to address a very serious matter on a Statement that I requested on 14th May, 2013. I raised the matter again on 17th June, 2013, 2nd July, 2013 and 25th July, 2013. On that day, the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government, Sen. Murkomen, assured the Senate that he was going to give a report of his Committee on the matter that I had raised, namely the matter of the Equalisation Fund. He promised the House, and this is on record on HANSARD, that the report would be laid on the Table of the ... view
• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a brief matter. I had asked the Chairman of the Committee on Education, Information and Technology, Sen. Kagwe, to give a Statement on the issue of former students of secondary schools who finished their schooling and did their examinations, but their schools continue to withhold their certificates illegally. In accordance with Act No.29 of the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) of 2012, it is illegal for anybody, principals or even the KNEC to withhold certificates of students who sit for national examinations. My friend is there, but I did not see him rise, ... view

• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not happy because I feel the Committee is mistaken. The Committee ought to summon the CRA and get the facts. But what they are saying is that they want to give a Statement. I do not want a Statement, I want a report of the Committee on the sharing of the Equalisation Fund. That distinction should be made. view
• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support the amendment. I believe that if this is done, the suffering of patients, particularly poor patients in the rural areas will be minimized. Patients have been suffering for too long and the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board takes too long to respond to complaints even when they are made because it is stationed here in Nairobi. I believe that if this amendment is implemented, the suffering patients in the rural areas will be very much relieved. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to point out one issue that has been going on concerning cancer ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard that clearly the Government is unable to reduce crime not only in Trans Nzoia, but throughout the country. It looks like the wananchi have been left to look after themselves in terms of security. It is the responsibility of the Government to protect lives and property of its citizens. Two months ago, 12 people in Kitui County were murdered in cold blood by a gang led by one individual. That individual still roams around threatening residents through mobile phones. Two months down the line, the Government has been unable to arrest this person. ... view

• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to draw the attention of the Chair and that of the House to the fact that on 14th May this year, I stood here and sought a statement on the issue of the Equilisation Fund. The Chair issued a directive on that day to a Joint Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs and the Committee on Devolved Government to inquire into the matter on how funds under the Equalisation Fund were distributed and to report back within a week. No report was brought but on 16th June, ... view
