• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to send my condolences to the people of Mombasa who were affected by this incident that we are discussing and also to those affected by past incidents.

Maybe we need to look at where this issue started. I am sure it has a starting point. The Government has ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion because as it has been said for the last one year the Parliamentary Service Commission has been not fully constituted because the two members from the public were not in place. This means that all the Members were parliamentarians from either House, a situation which might lead to them seeing things from the point of view of their respective House.

Where they occur, I know that the vaccines are mostly provided by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) like the Veterinaries’ SanFrontier ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that from what has occurred in Garissa, we realize that there are many other isolated stations like Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit and Lodwar. They are not connected to the national grid; they all run on diesel powered engines and generators. What is the Government doing in order to come up with sustainable sources of power, like the renewable green energy which will not have the same problems like the diesel engines? It is cheaper to have isolated solar power systems for those far-flung areas, knowing that even the national grid has its own problems. It is ... view

• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support this Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we know that there are organizations which have tried to carry out civic education, including Uraia, but the Motion is talking about comprehensive, well structured and systematic civic education. That is where we need to concentrate, because right now, the system has taken off and the participants, that is, the leaders and public, are not aware. That is why we have what we have now. The Governors are doing whatever they want and the MCAs are still behaving like ... view

• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would have liked to contribute to this Motion as amended. But, I just want to make one comment. I am happy to be in a country where the Constitution, national anthem and everything else starts with prayers, because that is the only way that we can recognize God so that He can assist us in whatever we are doing. But because of time, it is better if we conclude this matter and ask the Mover to reply, so that we can vote on it. view
