• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Yes. Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to bring to your knowledge that there is no quorum in the House. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to add on the Senators’ concern that has been expressed, highlighting various serious issues that are facing this country. I do not think that it is just a matter of riparian land. The issue of riparian land in itself is very serious because we all remember days when you could not have planted anything along the river bank and this country was well watered. When Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri says, “I was in Kisii County sometime and I know it is not wet.” I can understand. It is not only in Kisii County, but, ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am extending because of the seriousness of the subject, I am not contributing. In the response, let us know what is going to be done seriously and urgently to address the issue. Also, we should not be told that response will come in two weeks’ time, but should be done within a couple of days. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this will have to be a loaded Statement. I undertake that I am going to respond to all the questions asked by all the Senators. I will bring an answer to this House in two weeks’ time, if it is acceptable. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I undertake to give an answer to the Statement two weeks from now, obviously after consulting the Ministry concerned. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not hear what he asked so I am requesting that he repeats so that I can tell him when I will give him the answer, whether in one day or three weeks. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will undertake to give an answer in three weeks because this question was not in the Order Paper. In the answer, I will include what my friend Sen. Wetangula has asked. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this question requires a comprehensive answer. Listening to what Sen. Wetangula said, I require to do a lot of work on it. I need to talk to the Ministry concerned. I need to interrogate the Ministry to get the appropriate answer. If I am given one week, I will bring a shoddy answer and that will not be pleasant to this House and it will erode my integrity. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as much as Sen. Wambua would like me to bring the answer in two weeks’ time, I would like to inform him that I can be given answers by the Ministry which would not be satisfactory. I may also require to return the same answers to them and advise them to give me answers that are satisfactory. So, three weeks is not far too long to get the right answer. In any case, the Senator for Narok settled for three weeks. If he did not settle, he can put his case and I will consider it. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to add to Sen. Mugo’s concern. My issue is that in Nyeri County, there was one particular area, Kieni West, where few people turned up for the recruitment. This was due to logistical problems. I do not know what happened. I wish that an assurance would be given that when a situation as that arises in any area, other methods should be used to see that as many youths as possible are recruited. That would, probably, involve leaders so as to make sure that their quota is not allocated to other people because ... view
