• 9 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not the spirit of the Government and conservation. I want you to compel him to withdraw those remarks because they are against the Government policy and conservation policies of this Government in which he serves. view
• 9 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the most absurd answer I have heard from this senior. If you may recall, his Vice Chair came with this answer and we sent him away because in the answer, he is insisting that two people were shot. I brought evidence of four people who were shot; their names, where they were treated and I tabled that information here. The Chairman is still insisting in his reply that only two people were shot. Can he tell us about these other two? Your Vice Chair came up with this answer, I raised the issues I am ... view
• 9 May 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to defend myself because he said he read dishonesty in me. It is true and you were in the Chair when Sen. Sakaja who is his Vice Chair came with the same exact answer and you ruled that it was inadequate. So, it is wrong for him to claim that I am dishonest. The Speaker ruled that this answer was inadequate and Sen. Sakaja, your Vice Chair, was asked to come up with a more elaborate answer. Be that as it may, we have raised questions here but he ... view
• 8 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I was not in when you presented this Petition and was not going to make a comment until I listened to Sen. M. Kajwang’. He made a contribution to the effect that maybe this Petition does not merit being one; that maybe it qualifies to be a police case or something of the sort. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I state categorically that, first of all, I hail and commend the patriotic residents of West Pokot, who have petitioned this House on this matter. Health is a fundamental right as provided for in our Constitution. It ... view

• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I plead with you. Now that we are on the Notices of Motions and there is only one other, allow me to give my notice of Motion and then we go by the ruling that you have made. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for your indulgence. I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, WHEREAS Kenya’s disaster profile is dominated by droughts, fire, floods, terrorism, diseases and epidemics that disrupt livelihoods, destroy infrastructure, divert planned use of resources, interrupt economic activities and retard development; FURTHER WHEREAS the government, through its various agencies, is ultimately responsible for disaster reduction, preparedness and management; COGNIZANT of the fact that government agencies involved in disaster management are usually overwhelmed when called upon to provide response services during disasters and emergencies; AWARE that the Kenya Red Cross Society Act, Cap ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I want to support that position; that there is no provision in the Standing Orders on this matter. However, we established a tradition or practice, as has been stated by the Senator for Makueni County, that a Statement is only issued when the Senator who requested the Statement is present. That has been the practice, unless for the reasons that have been advanced by the Senator for Makueni County. Otherwise, we should not deviate from that practice. view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity. I have two clarifications that I wish to seek from the Chairperson. However, just before I do that, it is regrettable that this answer has taken almost a whole month to come to the Floor of this House. Nevertheless, I thank the Chairperson for his effort and the very comprehensive statement that he has made. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this issue is at the core of the Senate, and if we look at Article 96(1) of our Constitution, it states:- “The Senate represents the counties, and serves to protect the ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, I want my kid brother, the Senator for Kericho, to look at this schedule in its entirety. view
