• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to register my appreciation to the Committee for the good work that they have done within limited time. I think that we did stretch the Committee by giving them limited time. To the people of Kirinyaga County and to the MCAs, those of us who are lawyers know that there is no case that is so good that it cannot be lost in court and neither is there a case that is so bad that it cannot be won in a court of law. In legal issues, one approaches each ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: It is a point of information. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I just wanted to inform Sen. Murkomen that the new DG is not for KeNHA but for Kenya Urban Roads Authority. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. First, pole to my good friend, Sen. Cherargei who was involved in a road accident. It is good to see he is on the way to full recovery. The issue that Sen. Cherargei has raised is very important. Roads that are managed my KeNHA are those that are ordinarily home to fast moving vehicles. If you do not have proper markings on our highways, you are certainly being negligent as a body, and I mean KeNHA. That is what is contributing to so many accidents on our highways. On many occasions, I have personally called ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to also make a contribution on this very important Statement. If you follow the history of the country, issues dealing with land have caused wars. People have fought because of land. When we enacted our Constitution, Chapter Five, Article 60 (1), is very clear on issues dealing with security of land rights. Our Constitution is very elaborate that if you want to take away land that is in private hands, it does not require a Cabinet Secretary, and capriciously declares that he is going to take away land that is ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: If he has any grievance or a basis in law that can demonstrate in any court of law that this land where these estates have been built, belongs to Kenya Forest Service, let him follow the laid down procedure. Let him file his claim with the NLC and parties will be given a right to be heard, then a determination can be made. Otherwise, we are going to make title deeds in this country to be pieces of paper. There are people who have mortgaged their homes in those estates. How are banks going to have confidence in our title ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a point of order. If you may permit me. The Order Paper indicates that each Senator will be allocated 15 minutes to make his submissions on this fairly weighty matter. Under Standing Order No.106 (2), the only way that there can be limitation on time is if an hon. Member has moved a Motion. However, you have directed that debate on this issue be limited to five minutes. Standing Order No.106 (3) on Limitation of Debate says: “A Motion under paragraph (2) shall not be made in the course of debate to which it refers, ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, already Sen. Linturi was on the Floor making his submissions. I do not want to anticipate debate. However, if this matter goes to the Committee, we will not have time to make any comments. So, we need time. We watch deliberations of the House of Commons and even our neighbours in Tanzania where elected Members are given adequate time to ventilate the issues that come before the Floor. That is why all of us were elected. I want your direction whether it is really in order to limit our deliberations to five minutes while the Order Paper ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I appreciate Sen. (Dr.) Mbito who has raised an important issue before this House. Under Article 94 of the Constitution, we are the peoples’ representatives and we know the true position of what is happening on the ground. It is not possible for the Cabinet Secretary to achieve the so-called e-learning because the people we represent do not have phones with internet connection. Some do not even have power. If I were to be honest with him, it is like he is living on the Ozone Layer, because he does not understand the people he ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: should not lie to the people we represent. When you go to the county, people ask why we are pushing that we should have e-learning when they do not have phones, internet connection and money for buying bundles. It cannot work and will not work; that is the reality. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to have the Cabinet Secretary summoned by the Committee on Education, so that we agree on the way forward as leaders. It is not about imposing his views on us, as representatives of the people. I am happy that the Chairperson of the Ad Hoc ... view
