• 3 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to second the amendment. A lot has been said, but I think we need to look at the legislations that deal with licensing of alcohol. We should introduce heavy penalties for drug barons and those who are found to be guilty of peddling drugs and other substances. Secondly, I think to some extent, we should blame parents. From my experience, you will find some parents carrying their small kids to restaurants where they sit with them on the same table and drink alcohol. What would you expect from that child? ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. I believe that it is very important, especially to the area where I come from and the country at large. A lot has been said about insecurity and about the roads. I just want to add a few points. Over the years, the Government has established District Security Committees (DSCs), but unfortunately, these committees have never been formalized and empowered. Personally, I would urge the Government that if they really want these committees to work effectively, they should be formalized, empowered and also facilitated. Regarding the issue of illegal firearms, these ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand here to oppose this particular Motion simply because of the following reasons. First, the way this Motion is crafted, it will not be a solution to the youth issues in this country. The reason I am saying this is because of other sentiments made by my colleagues. First, we have established so many funds in this country, but as my colleague, Sen. Beatrice, has said, we have never gone back to check why these funds are not helping the youth. So, the most important and critical thing that we need to do in ... view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to add my voice to this Debate. I will give about three points that I need to add. First and foremost, is the role played by the county assemblies in terms of supervising the County Executive. The County Executive Members, as per the structure, are earning Kshs225,000, if I am not wrong. The county assembly representatives are earning Kshs79,000. So, who will be supervising who? Clearly, we will have a big problem because the members of the Executive will misbehave simply because they will look at county representatives as their juniors. We ... view
• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to join my colleagues in condoling the family. I came to know the late Sen. Mutula Kilonzo when he was the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. As Sen. Hassan said, we really interacted with him. At one time, we really had a lot of problems with Members of Parliament and the Executive when I was working with the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) and our salary was slashed. We went to see him, so that the salary could be reviewed. I remember Mutula saying:- “You guys are saying that you ... view
• 24 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to give my statement. Secondly, my appreciation goes to the United Republican Party (URP) that nominated me to serve in this Senate. Since Independence, this is the only opportunity that we have been given as the people of Upper Eastern to serve as nominated Senator. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support the Motion. First and foremost, I would like to talk about insecurity in our country and, moreso, in northern Kenya. We cannot talk about devolution when we have the problem of insecurity in this country, ... view
