• 11 Nov 2021 in Senate: I think I lost around five minutes. view
• 11 Nov 2021 in Senate: This is a very important report. I commend Sen. Omogeni for coming up with it. Let it go on record that the defense of our Judiciary is paramount we cannot loosen the guard. If we were to do so, then we would get back to the era where instructions were being given and people taken to court at night. Pronouncements were made and people put in Kamiti Maximum Security Prison at night. For whatever it takes, we must defend the independence of the Judiciary. One of the reasons I believe we need to do so is because we cannot allow ... view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have listened to my good brother Sen. Cheruiyot and I can see his body demeanor, very passionate about the issues in Laikipia just like anybody else that has spoken here. What I want to inform him is that, first I must confess that I am a Member of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. Most of the Committees of Parliament are impotent. We are not doing anything in those Committees. We were supposed to meet the security leadership teams in this country yesterday and today. Committees schedule meetings just for the chairpersons to ... view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: The Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations has a trip to the United States of America. Last time, the leadership of this House approved the travel of the some Members of that Committee to the United States of America, and you have approved another trip. There has been no consultation. That Committee has had no leadership since the departure of Sen. Haji. You need to give us direction. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Deputy Speaker. I agree that this Committee must become more serious. Sen. Murkomen, for your information, on Wednesday, 15th at 8.00 a.m., we had asked the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government, CS for Land and CS for ASALs to appear before the Committee to answer to matters that relate to the conflicts in those areas, and issues to do with boundary conflicts. Personally, I believe that Parliament is supreme. Parliament is a serious institution, and once one is summoned by Parliament, then they must leave other duties and come to answer ... view
• 16 Sep 2021 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 Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, this letter is not courteous. If anybody has any respect and without contempt of Parliament, he would have tried to explain by himself why he was not able to attend. He would even have further written and said, ‘I propose that I appear before the Committee on this date.’ The matters that we were asking him to appear to answer on, are issues related to security, loss of lives and protection of property. We need to be serious on these issues. I agree that even if this whole House takes up this matter--- I said this before ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for the distinguished Senator for Makueni County and I have really tried to listen to him. From his long speech, I have been unable to get clearly the point that he is trying to drive home. He is trying to be speculative in what should be happening in the future, how we promised jobs and how the Chinese would bring in Chinese workers yet they are already here. The Government that he is talking about has what is popularly known as the Kazi Mtaani Programme to ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: However, when Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. talks about the Government being serious, he should recognize that he is also part of that Government after the ‘Handshake’. Who does he mean when he says the Government? We must tell the country where the problem lies. The Government is so big. He should tell us who he means so that in our own small way, we are able to address the person who is not serious because he is trying to explain something very serious that I agree with. view
