• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Motion on the Floor. I want to be on record that I know Hon. Samuel Kiprono Chepkong’a as a Member of the legal profession. When I served as the President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), I remember him as a member who was in good standing. To add on that, looking at his Curriculum Vitae (CV), I think Hon. Chepkong’a will bring a wealth of experience to the Commission that ensures that our work as Senators is effective and efficient. He served with distinction as the director-general of the Communications ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I rise to second the Motion by my neighbour, Senator for Kericho, Sen. Cheruiyot.

• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the initiative by the FP-ICGLR although I support this report with a few reservations. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is no doubt that the 12 member States that comprise membership to this FP-ICGLR share a number of common problems. When we form a conference of this stature, we expect that it will create an avenue and opportunity for us to tackle some of these problems that may not be tackled by people who live in some of those individual countries. I make a fair criticism on this report that we have ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: members of the military in Uganda. How can we be proud that we have a conference that should address issues of good governance, human rights and democracy when these issues are not brought forth to the Senate for us to debate? Madam Temporary Speaker, when we talk about issues of economic development and regional integration, we know the suspicion that has always been there between Kenya and other East African member states. We will never achieve economic integration in these regions if we continue treating each other with suspicion. I will give an example of the legal profession. We are ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I challenge Members who are our representatives in this very important conference that we expect to get a report that does not put anything under the carpet. It must bring everything on the table so that we freely debate the state of affairs in this region. That is the only way we will send a wakeup call to our leaders. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, even if we were to talk about the issues touching on the freedom of the press, we still have challenges in this region. Just the other day, I saw a journalist from Kenya Television Network (KTN) Ms. Sophia Wanuna being roughed up at the airport when she was covering the story of Miguna Miguna who was being deported. This is a young, helpless girl being brutalised by members of the military force in the full view of local and international press. If we do not put those issues in a report like this one, how will we ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: In Uganda, for example, freedom of the press is under threat day in, day out. Talking about issues of gender, we, as a country, know the challenges facing us. We cannot compare Kenya with a country like Rwanda which is far ahead in terms of gender representation. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: I conclude by congratulating the three colleagues who will represent us and urge them that next time they table such a report, please let us boldly discuss issues dealing with political instability, conflicts and challenges that are faced by these twelve member states so that we can build on it to build a better future for the inhabitants of those states. view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I support. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
