• 4 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Senator for Kajiado County for raising this issue. Besides the issue of substandard services and cases of no signals in some parts of the country, there is also the issue that Sen. (Dr.) Machage has alluded to. These are the exorbitant rates that are charged by these mobile service providers, particularly, Safaricom. I guess they do this because of the monopoly that they enjoy. What action is the Ministry taking to ensure that calling charges are within reach to the general populace of Kenya? view

• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although the Statement is directed to my Committee, you notice that it is cross-cutting. The Senator wants to know some issues about the road network and about the control of hippos by the KWS.

• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my request is for four weeks but should we have the Statement ready even in two weeks, then we will notify the Chair and be allocated time to issue it. view
• 21 Oct 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With a lot of due respect to His Excellency the President, the Senate Majority Leader and the Rules and Business Committee, the Speech of His Excellency the President, according to me, is a matter that has been overtaken by time. I want to believe that this is improper use of our time. The President made a speech, travelled, came back and is continuing with his duties. I want to move that this particular Motion has been overtaken by events. We have a lot of business that is pending. We are not ... view

• 21 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the relevant Standing Order that you are referring to; which is Standing Order No. 24(6) states: “A Senator may give a notice of Motion, that “The Thanks of the Senate be recorded for the exposition of public policy contained in the Address of the President” but debate on the Address shall not exceed three sitting days.” This indicates that it is not mandatory. In my opinion, this matter has been overtaken by events and it is not mandatory that we discuss it. view
• 21 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not research on this. I stand guided by you but I strongly believe that it does not change my believe that we are not adding any value.
