• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I recall what the Constitution of Kenya provides about the mandate of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), under Article 127, it is for the PSC to take care of the welfare of Members. Sen. Khaniri has been given that mandate by this House, to take care of the welfare of Members. I am informed that he is the Chairman of the Committee on Security and Welfare of the PSC. Is it in order for Sen. Khaniri to enjoy sitting at the PSC and raise issues to do with affairs that touch on his mandate as a ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. I am one of the happiest Senators this evening after defeating the adjournment Motion because it is said that as leaders, we had better make wrong decisions than fail to make any at all.

This is because if we have to faithfully follow what you have directed, it appears then that it will come to a time when we will be required to take certain positions as this House, either for or against.

• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. I rise to support the Petition. It has taken time and Kenyans have understood how painful it is not to have a functional land registry and how costly it is for business not to have the opportunity to charge or create securities for those that want to do business, especially at this period of COVID-19 when money is urgently required for ease of doing business. As the Committee looks into this, I would want to ask other Kenyans listening and those in authority to understand that it is not easy to realise the gains of ... view

• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Anybody that means well for this country and has an opportunity to play any role to ensure that the economy moves the right way, let him or her do a part. I urge the Committee to quickly get into this matter and make a report and see how we can facilitate those people that are frequent users of land registries to continue and ensure they are in business. view
