• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish Sen. Orwoba was here. Concerning affirmative action, the burden of achieving the two-thirds gender rule is a burden that this administration took. When one President Dr. William Samoei Ruto went around the country seeking support from women, he promised them a 50-50 arrangement in the Cabinet. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: When you rise up to challenge things that maybe you are not very sure, use the word that I am using, “perhaps”. Do not sound as though you are speaking on authority, yet the fact remains that it is a promise that was made by this administration. That time, Sen. Veronica Maina was the Secretary-General of United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, and she signed the charter with women. They should be here telling us why they have not implemented the charter. It is not our business. It is their business. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you have heard Sen. Cherarkey more than once making referencing to the Azimio Coalition Leader, the Right Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. He even went ahead to mention the name of His Excellency, Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, pretending that he is making reference to a “we”, that we are looking for a job for him. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: We are a House of records, who is he referring to as “we” when he mentions “we” and where are they looking for this job? This Senator should not be allowed to get away with murder. view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to inform my big brother, Sen. Onyonka, that he has taken the best line any legislator in this country and anywhere can take. However, I must add without fear of contradiction that is only going to happen if the Speakers of both Houses are not part of the debate; they are just referees of the debate. You cannot have a situation where you want us to push an agenda of clear discussions, including pushing the agenda of the common mwananchi forward and yet, you have a Speaker seated on the Chair who even ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for an opportunity to comment on this Petition. From the outset, I identify myself with the prayers of the petitioners. Embu County is the headquarters of Eastern Region and that is where I come from. The residents of Muthanthara have a genuine and legitimate fear especially on their prayer No.3, that they have seen their neighbours being evicted and, therefore, they are afraid they could be evicted from the land they occupy today by people who claim to have title deeds for the land they have occupied since Independence. This matter of land especially ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Environment and Natural Resources of this Senate must take a lot more seriously. I say this because there are a number of settlement schemes in that region, which for the longest time have had serious issues with land ownership. I was in Embu on Monday and visited Karaba and Mathima wards. In those two regions, we have huge populations of people from the Kamba extraction who have occupied those pieces of land since Independence. We also have the Mbeere, Embu and Kikuyus who have occupied that land. Karaba and Mathima are cosmopolitan wards in a rural setting, yet this threat ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: There is an elected leader from Embu County who was threatening an entourage lead by His Excellency Dr. Steven Kalonzo Musyoka on Monday, that we should not visit Karaba and Mathima, and if we visit, we should not mention anything to do with land. These matters are serious. Today, I stand on the Floor of the Senate and reassure the people of Karaba and Mathima that they are occupying that land by right. They are not there as squatters or invited guests. They are there by right as Kenyans. Therefore, they should continue occupying land they have occupied since Independence. ... view
