• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to pass my condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. When these incidents usually happen, we normally have prior information, especially in the so-called marginalized and arid areas. These people come on foot and it takes them weeks to even prepare and even herdsmen see them and report to the village elders. Now it has come all the way to Nairobi where the Senator has even reported on the Floor of the House of this impending attack against his people. I support what Sen. Munyes is saying that the oil exploration should ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion because I know where my colleague, Sen. Mositet, is coming from. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know very well that after the passing of the new Constitution, roads have been clearly demarcated between the national Government and county governments. But, unfortunately, to date the roads maintenance structure in this country has not changed and realigned to reflect the new Constitution, as indicated in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, which clearly indicates that there are national trunk roads, under the national Government and county roads under the county ... view

• 25 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank my sister Sen. Mohamud for bringing up this Motion because this is actually a solution to a problem we have all known and have been trying to address. We are saying these issues because the Government has a responsibility. The literacy levels in this country are so varied. That is why the Government should put in place an affirmative action and build these schools because inequalities in education opportunities result in inequalities in social mobility. People in these areas are still lagging behind because they have not got what ... view
• 24 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. We, as the Senate, are here to defend the counties and ensure that they take off. But what we are discussing is what is required before anything can take off. Without security, we will have no country, counties and there will be no development. Those of us who come from those areas which at times become insecure know that when the security of a human being is threatened, he or she forgets everything and ends up protecting himself or herself. Maybe that is ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I stand to support this Motion as it is. I saw it in the first Order Paper and it was limited to Nairobi and I prefer it that way--- view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the adoption of the Report of the Sessional Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, taking into account the issue of time, I would like to raise a few points. The first one is the issue of transfer of functions. I think that we should not forget that the last time we had a meeting with the Transition Authority (TA), they explained to us what they are going through. So, it is better to make sure that the Transition Authority The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. It is good for us, as a neighbour, to contribute to the stability and security of a country like South Sudan. We know very well that if it is stable, our northern parts like Turkana County will be peaceful. The last time that the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) were deployed to Marsabit and Samburu counties, I do not think an approval was sought from the Senate. I do not know why that did not happen. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Thank you, hon. Senator, for the clarification. Mine was to mention something about southern Sudan. Our men and women are mistreated when they go there. Since we take good care of their people, they should also reciprocate and allow us to benefit from the peace in the region. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As much as the problem is clear, from the Mover of the Motion, we now know that the hindrance is with the teaching personnel and how we can have a policy to recruit teachers. In any institution of learning, teachers are a very important component. Without teachers being in place, trained well and being remunerated properly, then the systems would not perform. That is why we have been having the adult education department for a long term but with no visible fruits. According to our Kenya Nation Adult Education Survey of 2007, 38.5 per ... view
