• 30 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I would like to join my fellow Senators in congratulating Sen. Zipporah Kittony for coming up with this very important Motion because as we say, ‘Water is life.’ But for some of the residents of the arid regions of this country, searching for water itself – leave alone water being important for living – is a full time job. Where I come from, sometimes mothers will leave home at The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ... view
• 30 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, I would like to thank the Members of the Education, Communications and Technology Committee for having taken their mandate seriously. I hope that this will be emulated by the other committees of this House. We cannot fulfill our duties in this country if we do not go round and take stock of what we are going through. That would make it easy for us to legislate based on the situation we are in and where we want our people to be. The report is ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I would also like to thank the Mover of this Motion. I support the Motion with some amendments because the initial Motion would have left a lot of burden on the county governments. However, we now have an exit where the national Government has some ways of disposing of those who will not be absorbed by the county governments. I would like to follow up on what some Senators have contributed with regard to the TA. We are giving this job to the TA ... view

Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue at hand affects Kenyans who, out of the situation they were in at that particular time, without even knowing what that meant to them, chose whether to stay hungry in their villages or go to a camp which had been opened, where there were many humanitarian organizations. Maybe, they did not even think about how that would affect their nationality. They just saw it as ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, vegetation is very important in the arid areas, and the kind of vegetation which grows there is very hardy and that is what the communities from around there have adopted. Similarly, animals in those areas also rely on such vegetation. But in this case, we have a crop or a plant which was introduced and which, along the way, is now becoming a problem by causing some ecological imbalances by trying to conquer the plants, weeds and grass which ... view

• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion knowing that we are in a new dispensation where we have the devolved governments and these are some of the problems we should expect. We all acknowledge that we are new to this but I do not think some of the issues which are being raised are because of that. From what happened between the executive and the county assembly, there is a problem of the budget making process at the county level. We have a case where the executive submits its budget, ... view
