• 4 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank you for having noted that I am here and the fact that I am more senior than anybody in this House. A lot has been said. In fact, I had just given up, that I was not going to speak. But I am lucky that, finally, I did catch your eye. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to say a few things on this issue. We have been saying that the Senate is on trial. But what is on trial today is not the Senate. It is the Committee that we ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the first day, when we were sworn in as Senators, there was a problem of the Standing Orders which were made by the National Assembly. At that time, I said the Standing Orders that were guiding this House were not those of the Senate, because they were done outside the Senate, of course, following the due process of law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we received notification of the amendments to the Standing Orders this morning. I think that we have been following the current Standing Orders when debating for almost a year and do not see the ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand with regard to your ruling and to add some advice to it. One, this House needs to be aware or to find out whether the things which are happening all the time are politically motivated to cause this House and the Head of State to fight. If every time the Lower House will be presenting a Bill to the Head of State and it will be upon him to decide whether to sign or not, the public will expect to hear the Senate complaining. The best thing here is to ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been trying to talk to this Motion because I have a similar Motion currently which is more elaborate and not for a specific area. I think I am persuaded by the debate that I need to say something about this. I do not think we have any quarrel with the current Government or anybody because this Government has only been in office for less than eight months. Therefore, we would be out of order in a way to start criticizing the Head of State and the Deputy President over this matter. But it has ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Motion is straightforward and I do not think that we need to spend a lot of time just talking about the same thing. It is likely that we will be accused of being repetitive in a small matter like this. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, but before the closure of the debate, I would like to say the following: This is not a very new matter, because provincial boundaries were created in 1962 and in any adjustment or management review, we must have some casualties. That is why we have this problem of Nyandarua, Tharaka-Nithi, Lamu, ... view

• 3 Dec 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this scheme. Before I do so, I would like to congratulate the President for having been the pioneer of this movement because he is the one who pronounced and announced that there will be this kind of scheme and it is now becoming a reality. We are now standing here to discuss about the pros and cons of this scheme. I hope very sincerely that this scheme will prove to be a scheme where Kenyans and especially the youth and women will remain to say, thank you. I must raise ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, aware that national security is prerequisite for maintaining a stable nation state; concerned that Kenya continues to be confronted by factors that threaten national security such as terrorist attacks, road carnage, cattle rustling, inter-ethnic conflicts, food shortage and floods; further concerned that various forms of threats to national security, such as cyber-crime and terrorism, constantly mutate thereby posing a challenge to security organs; appreciating the efforts of successive governments to safeguard national security; noting with concern that despite the efforts insecurity continues to increase; further noting that no security review has been ... view
