• 26 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a straight forward Motion and I think it should not be subjected to any amendment. This is an opportunity for this House to air its views and what the problem would be in the next one year. It shows that the management of the Senate is doing a very good job because we can see them planning. If we do not plan today, we may remain unplanned. Therefore, it is important for us to appreciate what the Senate Majority Leader has put forward to us. I hope that during recess, there will be no ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this matter is very serious. I think this Parliament and all the people involved in the leadership of this country need to know that we are heading to a very serious problem. That problem is coming. The issue of terrorism started in the 1980s in Palestine, came down to Beirut and now it is everywhere else. Anybody who is telling you that you have the capability of stopping these people from what they are doing, I think you need to think twice. Our security system needs to be reviewed so that we can see what was ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not think it is fair for you to stop me from explaining. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can sit down but you had given me the permission to speak and it is my prerogative to sit. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to continue by saying what I will remember because most of the things have escaped my mind. Radicalisation is a matter that we need to think about very critically. Whatever is happening in Mombasa will spread elsewhere. When I say that, it is not because I know that it will spread but because I know that this has not been stopped from the source. If you have not stopped something from the source, then you expect it to spread. I support the leadership in Mombasa; those who condemned this incident and sent their ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I was going to say is that I was going to congratulate our friend. First, this Motion is very clear because it is urging the national Government to prepare a comprehensive programme where the elderly would be getting their dues or support from the national Government or any other quarter which will be accepted by the national policy. These people are not so many. In this country, the people who are 60 years and above are estimated to be about 1.2 million. I think 1.2 million are not so many for this nation to sit ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: We are referring to the census of July, 2014. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is over 45 million. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: I do not think there is need for any information. I avoided going into details because I do not have the time. I said the population is about 45 million people. I have the correct figure. Out of the 45 million, 17 million are destitute and poor people who need the support of this nation. Those are not elderly people. Here, we are specifically dealing with the old people. The old people can be helped because they are not many. The Government has attempted – I am not speaking for the Government but quoting what is in the record – ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was not prepared to speak, but since we still have the time, I will speak for some minutes. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first of all, I need to thank the Mover of this Motion. It does not take a lot time to think about a Motion and see the effects of that Motion in case it goes through. But I have been in Parliament for sometime and know that it is not a simple job to draft a Motion. You have to gather material and understand the mission that you are going to undertake. Mr. ... view
