• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to, first of all, congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani and the Members of the Ad hoc Committee who took the trouble of going round the world to see how other communities handle benefitting from the natural resources and came up with these well thought out Bill. For a long time, since the colonialists came, our resources have been up for grabs. Anybody who thought that they had an idea on how to exploit it would grab and sit on it.

• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek a clarification. The only national school in upper eastern has gone down completely. Why has the Government taken very long to address the issue? They have been declining even in national examinations. Why is it taking long to revive that kind of a school? view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to send my condolences to the relatives of the victims of various attacks in Mandera and parts of this country and also to empathize with the Senator for Mandera and the residents of Mandera for all they are going through. I had the opportunity of working in Mandera since the year 2006. I was there as a roads engineer and by virtue of my job, I had to travel a lot. I know what the people of Mandera are going through.It ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. Fundraising is a very noble way of assisting the needy in this country. It is good that the Bill does not do away with harambees especially when it is coming from politicians who, as the Senator who has just spoken before me has said, have been held hostage by this system. The public might think that we are running away from responsibility, but as he said, it is not our responsibility. As members of the public, we have to be sensitive and assist ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the list of the deceased persons, this is a security issue because all of them are either civilians or police reservists. This shows that the Government security presence in the area is very minimal. I would like the Chairperson to clarify what the Government is doing about the cause of the conflict, because we know that it is mainly a border issue. We are just addressing the results, but what is the Government doing about the cause of these county border disputes which are causing all these deaths? view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for coming up with these amendments to the National Police Service Act. As him, I come from an area where that is the only known law; maintenance of the system that we have. With this kind of an improvement, where the KPRs are trained, uniformed and have some incentive in terms of remuneration, I think that people in those areas will have better security. Right now, the main issue has been that the Government system has not streamlined the sector of the KPRs. For a long ... view
• 11 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, towards the end of the last Session, I had requested for two Statements from the Chairpersons of two Committees; the Standing Committee on Energy and the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources. I am still interested in getting the answers to those questions. I am seeking guidance on how I can get those Statements given, since this is now a new Session. Do I have to seek the Statements afresh or they will be carried over? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 11 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand guided. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I sought a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Energy and he promised to issue it today. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, the amendment which you have proposed to Clause 2, some of them may not be possible to meet like saying that a police reservist should be able to read and write. These are people who work within communities who are illiterate; 80 per cent illiteracy levels. They are actually taking this responsibility for their own security. Most of them have not gone to school, they are just herdsmen. So, this clause will not apply. So, we are putting in a law which will not be implementable on the ground. Even the age of 30 years age, ... view
