• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Senator has his own opinion and interpretation of the situation. My interpretation is exactly what I said. We were told by the Senate Minority Leader that people were stopped from coming to the meeting and that is why they failed. I am asking a question here: Did they expect the Government to campaign for the meeting or mobilize people for them? Another big question is this; if you tell the whole nation that you will attempt--- view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I learnt from the other side was nothing, but reckless talk. It was totally reckless. It was not giving any message to this nation. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Yes, let him just go on. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was standing to let my brother pass, but not to speak. But--- view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am saying this because of my sister over there. If I am out of order, I am sorry. But let me continue. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, unfortunately we did not have a lot of time to look at this Bill. It is not because of the management of the Senate or the Mover of this Bill, but our reluctance sometimes to take some things very seriously. That is why I feel guilty that I did not have enough time to look at this Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, given the little that I have gone through the Bill, it is very important that it is being moved by a Senator that we respect in terms of the management of law in this ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think he sneaked in the thing here because we have an existing law and he is trying to amend it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know why Kenyans are ashamed to talk about IDPs. I really do not know why we are so ashamed to say that 1,000 Luos have been chased away from Laikipia. We have just been talking as if it was only one community that was affected. When are we going to be open to each other and say that 50 Kikuyus have been killed; or 45 Luos have been ... view
• 24 Jun 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, just like my honorable colleagues on the other side, I was thinking whether I should contribute to this Motion or not having talked about security for the whole of last week. In fact, every other day, we talk about security. The big question is: Does whatever we talk here have any bearing on what is happening? I get very disturbed. I appreciate the attitude this afternoon from the Senators that they appear to be thinking very critically about this nation. I think this should continue. The time for making statements just to be heard should now stop; ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to send my condolences to the family of Gen. Mulinge and the people of Ukambani for the loss of a great man. I did not work with him for a long time, but the little time I knew him, he was a man of his word. During the coup, I was very close to him and saw how the Government was reorganized. One thing I continue remembering is when after Kenyatta’s death, he waited until 2.00 p.m. before pronouncing a new President. Gen. Mulinge came and asked us “suppose another person declares himself the ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to say what I think I should say on this Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, while I support all the efforts that the Senators are making, to make sure that this country has an improved security network, there are many other things that we need to consider. We are now thinking of devolving the national Government in terms of security. But in the national Government today, no one can say that they are quite ready to be devolved. This is because they have not done what is supposed to ... view
