• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what you have decided before you called me. What I was trying to say from the beginning is that we have had this matter since yesterday and you made a decision which was clear to all of us. No one said the President should not be criticized. You can critique the President’s statement and offer some alternative. If it is criticizing, anybody can do that and that is why we have Standing Orders here. Do not just walk in and start criticizing others and then get away with it just because of what ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, the debate be adjourned. This debate is very important and it does not matter how much it will take us to conclude, but I think it is important for many Members to be present when we debate it. So, I stand under Standing Order No.99(1) to request that we adjourn this debate to tomorrow when we will have everybody here.

• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, statements which are based on hearsay, a newspaper or individual policeman will tell you this figure was not correct. He should not imply that the President said a lie to the nation. It is important for my friend there to accept that it is a mistake to witch-hunt for any information in his head thinking he will offload it here.

• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first of all, I thank you for allowing me to contribute. Secondly, we all know why we are here. The late Gov. Gachagua worked with so many of the people here, especially hon. Members when he was working in Mombasa and when he became a Member of Parliament (MP). I have never worked with him personally but I like his name. He had a very good name out there despite the problem he has been facing with the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) just like any other county government. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you gave ... view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to thank Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for being very courageous to bring this Motion here today because touching those areas is like you are touching something that you have never heard. Since we do not have enough time, this matter cannot be solved by the sitting Senate or by any Government unless there is a change of their conduct. West Pokot, Samburu and Laikipia are now in trouble, and nobody wants to touch Laikipia. All the tribes you have just mentioned come to steal livestock from Laikipia after they finish theirs. Let me come to ... view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, anybody who has influence in this, any other system or even in international governments should offer solutions. Let us show ourselves as a free country that can do things on its own. We have a small problem between the Pokots and Samburus. We cannot solve it yet we are just buying armored vehicles. If I had to support these people with the equipment, I could not buy those kinds of things. These bandits get equipment from our neighbours. They get the best. Of course, the Government is trying to get the best. We must know that ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, mine is just a comment. We have taken too long in the Committee stage. I think we shall have another occasion in the Third Reading. If we proceed this way, we will stay here the whole night. What is the idea? Is it to have everybody speak? People have repeatedly spoken since I came here and they want to continue doing so. Could we vote and then move on? The amendment itself is good, but there is no way we can support that side because time has gone. Thank you. view
