• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it sounded like information but I take it. Whether the cases are in court or not, what did we want to know as Kenyans? Are we fighting corruption or not? How else can we fight it unless we have such a situation? I have listened since morning to Senators as they contribute to this Motion and no one has told us exactly how the President should have behaved so that we do something. It is easy to talk about something. However, if you were given that responsibility, you would find it very difficult to deal with it. ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am sorry it is going to be only two minutes. I thought I would have more time. Anyway, this is a very important Bill which all of us accepted and we believe if this Bill was there some years ago, maybe we would have gone some miles towards protecting our environment. When you sit down and think about this country and many others critically, you see that we are looking for investors from all over the world and yet there is something here that God and nature has given to us. There is ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to submit that this Bill is very important and long overdue. When we start discussing the details of the Bill, we should also deal with the policy and its intention. I hope that the Drought Management Authority will be an institution which can be relied upon. I want the House to understand and appreciate that drought is a major problem. If we have long periods of drought, that makes the people in our country poorer than they are. When farmers are no longer in a position to produce food as a source of livelihood, ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. (Prof) Kindiki, for requesting me to say something about this Bill and also to second it. I cannot claim to have read this Bill fully but the little I have read, I am convinced that this is the best Bill which is expected to drive the civil service in the right direction and also to give opportunity to all of them, men and women, as opposed to what it is today, where you have a lot of problems like nepotism, tribalism and others. This Bill is expected ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not think I follow what you are saying. view

• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In fact--- view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I concur with your ruling. There is not much actually to say here because it is all what we ought to do. This is human; the way you can organize people and the way people are expected to behave. In fact, this may called a natural law because there is no way you can get somebody to behave the way you want. But if you can convince them and change them using a law like this one – for those who fear to be involved – maybe they might change. The electronic version of ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, its only five minutes remaining to adjournment or the interruption of the Business. Therefore, I will not have a lot to say, except to support this Bill very strongly because its intention and contents are very important. It is something we have been lacking in this country since Independence. That is why quite a large extent of exploitation of our natural resources has been going on without our knowledge. It is as if this country does not have law, or we do not understand the kind or resources that we lose or money taken out of ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This matter is not confined to Mandera. I am happy that the Senator for Mandera found it wise to move this Motion for us to have an opportunity to say something about the security of our country. This is not a local war but an international one. I think those criminals, the Al- view
