• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that Sen. Mungai would be the last person to interrupt me; he is my good friend. If it was my friend seated next to me here, he definitely would. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I conclude. I would like to say; let us take advantage of what President Uhuru said in his Speech, that; “nurturing a young democracy in a treacherous world of despotism---” We all know that to create a democracy in that situation is not easy. It is very, very difficult. I have been involved in despotic regimes and I know what ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Yes, he must lose his chance. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also want to be counted in this debate by saying a few words. 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
• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he has finished but I think there is a problem when I hear a learned friend like him talking about “grabbing.” I want him to explain the meaning of “grabbing.” When he says that somebody has grabbed land, how does he grab it?

• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am glad that you have given me these few minutes to say something about the Motion. I just came in and did not have the Order Paper with me.

She is wondering why the Senate cannot rescue Isiolo. The intentions of this Motion are very good. The Motion says that the Senate is expected to do more than what we are doing. This is ... view
• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also wish to contribute to this very important Bill, although the House is almost empty. The reason could be because there is no opposition to what we are talking about. view
• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not saying that. I am quite clear in my mind of what I am talking about. I was just saying that the House is almost empty. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, the Bill has been supported by almost every Member of this House and so, I find no reason for being here. I think it is important for all of us to be here. It is the job of the Whips to make sure that Members are here to listen and contribute. You cannot force anyone to contribute, but it is ... view

• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was just trying to explain that county governments must be considerate to their constituencies and the Republic of Kenya and understand the difference. Governors should know that they control between 15 to 25 per cent of the total income of this country. The President of this country controls 85 per cent. There is no way you can measure yourself with him unless something has gone wrong somewhere. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not want to continue speaking to this Motion because we are all supporting it. If the two gentlemen were still in the ... view
