• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, I would like to pass my condolences to the people of Garissa and the Kenyans whose children’s lives have been taken away by ruthless men and women of this world. Madam Temporary Speaker, when we talk about security in this House, the first thing that we need to do is to support and encourage those who are in security management and the Defence Forces, so that they know that they have a House which supports them. We speak here without knowing what kind of facilities our forces have. We are not sure that they ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if it hurts anyone, I beg to apologize. We need to be extremely careful with the Statements we are making here because we are addressing the people of Kenya and not ourselves. I just wanted to say that there is another kind of terrorism going on in this country and we are taking it so easy. For example, cattle rustling in Baringo, Laikipia and other areas, it is totally unmanageable and the militias are doing whatever they want without any fear. I know the Government is taking some steps to make sure that their presence is understood ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it really in order for a Member of this House to go and pick political documents wherever he can find them and try to make them authentic documents that can be presented in this House? view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I listened to the debate from the time we started in the morning up to now but I think anybody out there following what we are saying will probably find almost the whole House confused. We are saying this while others are saying that, which is all not relevant to the document which we came to approve or to reject. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: In the situation we are in Kenya, our national interest is to secure this country from foreign invasion, poverty and all other evils that might interrupt the development of this nation. We have been talking about people being mentioned in this report as corrupt. I cannot understand why Members of this august House are forgetting that what the President did was very simple. The whole country has been talking against the Government because it appeared as if it was not ready to fight corruption. That is the assumption that many people have. But the time has come when the President ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the honorable Members who have already spoken should not be allowed to hold another meeting inside the Chamber. It is not a good example. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: I beg your pardon? view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: No, let me continue. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: I am not sure that he is more informed than me on matters of this country. It is the war that the President just came in and said “you in this Parliament have been saying that the Government is not fighting corruption. Now, here you are; this is the list, deal with it and it is your responsibility.” He did not ask us to pass it or to accept it; he just brought it for our information, that these things are happening and those who are mentioned, if they are public officers, are required to step aside. Stepping aside is ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I take that as a point of information which I am glad to receive. view
