• 14 Jun 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Can you kindly call this House to order? We cannot hear what the Senator, who is contributing, is saying. We want to follow debate on this important Bill. view
• 14 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First of all, I thank the Chairperson and Members of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for bringing this Bill on the Floor of the House for debate. It is true as other Senators have pronounced themselves on his matter that the Auditor-General has found many county governments culpable for huge spending on bills arising from procurement of legal services. This Bill is good for two important reasons. One, the establishment of the office of the County Attorney will help to ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I also stand in support of the Statement by Sen. Nyamunga. This is a matter of national importance. The truth of the matter is that governments exist to serve their citizens. Before we take a single shilling from the resources that we have out of this country, it is important to make sure it is spent in this country to build our economy and to create jobs. In line with the President’s agenda on manufacturing, this presents a very good opportunity for us to invest in the manufacturing sector for motor vehicles. ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, I want to thank the Senator for Vihiga County for this Statement. Death in a family is a painful thing. It is made more painful if sudden death is occasioned by a road accident. It would appear like Kamukuywa has become synonymous with road accidents and death. This Statement should not only elicit debate on the Floor of this House, but it must be a statement that is a call to action by the relevant Government ministries. I would request the Chair – as the Senator for Kericho County has said – to direct ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in support of the Petition, the matter of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in this country is almost becoming a business venture for some people. It will be important that this Petition begins the process of closure on the matter of IDPs and compensation in this country because it is common knowledge that there are a lot of people, not even mentioning communities, who have coalesced and formed groups whose business has just been to move from one camp to another, seeking compensation. As a matter of urgency, it will be important to have a clear list ... view
• 31 May 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order, I rise under the Standing Orders No. 35 and 36 to draw your attention to the lack of quorum in the Chamber. view
• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Speaker, for this opportunity. I also want to thank God for the opportunity of attending the National Prayer Breakfast where speaker after speaker spoke eloquently about the need to fight corruption. That talk was overwhelmingly interspersed with a call for forgiveness. It was said that we should forgive one another. I want to stand on the Floor of this House and make a clarification. First of all, I want to draw the line between forgiveness of sin and the consequences that must fall on the shoulders of people who break the law. On the issue of forgiveness ... view
• 31 May 2018 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 29 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to congratulate my teacher, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, for bringing up this matter. This problem is bigger than what we are dealing with now. It is not just a problem of farmers not having been paid this time round. It is a problem of treating farmers as lesser human beings or people whose contribution to the national economy is insignificant, yet we know that farmers in the North Rift and across this country play a very important role in not just feeding this country, but also ensuring that there is food security ... view
