• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the particular responsibility I hold in this matter is, to first, welcome Precious Blood Riruta. It was the school behind the back exit of my former school; that is Lenana High School. We would pass by Riruta commonly refered to as “Rirush” and sneak to the girls school. They used to sing and win trophies alongside The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, did you notice the almost derogatory way the Senate Majority Leader singled me out casually by saying Hassan Omar, without due reference to what was given to me by the people of Mombasa as “en. Hassan Omar”? He went ahead to explain to me what renewable energy is. I am a proponent of renewable energy. After all, there is Sen. Kanainza, the Senator for Uasin Gishu, the Senator for Makueni and Sen. (Dr.) Zani. Why would he think that I am the one who needed some specific elaboration on renewable energy? view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. For the purposes of the HANSARD, he has said that Sen. Wetangula harassed him. He needs to withdraw that. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is Sen. Wamatangi in order to bring innuendos and proposals that led to excessive action by the police, by making allegations that there was somebody trying to break doors and gates or throw stones? If he cannot substantiate those claims validly, we cannot hold them on the record of this Senate. We take that as an insult, because there are ways in which those matters can be pursued by law, rather than allegations that are unsubstantiated in this Senate. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, is the Senator for Kiambu aware of Article 24 (5) (c) of the Constitution that allows every Kenyan the right to assembly, demonstration, picketing and petition? The manner and nature in which that right is exercised is the discretion of those exercising that right. Whether you decide to demonstrate by sitting on the road or picket inside the offices of the IEBC it does not disclose where you can do so. You can decide to go and picket in the very offices of the IEBC, because this Constitution has not set limits on the manner and nature ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for your clarification. There are those of the Mau Mau type and the Dedan Kimathi type who chose to die on their feet rather than live on their knees. However, we also know that there was a substantial number of people who collaborated. Unfortunately, the collaborators founded this nation. That is why we mortgage the spirit of freedom in this country. That is why this country is not only free from some of the subjugations we had. I guess that is the point Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale wanted to make. view
• 3 May 2016 in Senate: seconded. view
• 3 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I feel honoured that I am accorded this opportunity when you are seated on that seat. It might be the one and only time that you sit there. Therefore, it could be quite important for the annals of history to know that Senator No.003 accorded an opportunity to Senator No.001 to contribute to an important constitutional Bill that seeks to give force to the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a friend told me that when you hear something mentioned once, it could be an opinion or rumour. When you hear it ... view
• 3 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with Sen. M. Kajwang, my junior in all fields. He followed me to Lenana School, he followed me to Moi University, now he has followed me to the Senate. On this one, I agree with him; an Hon. Member from somewhere. We are so many. However, it is this little impact. Hon. Wanjiku Muhia has left a legacy. Unfortunately, in this country without an enforceable regime, there is almost lack of compliance. Who will ensure compliance? This Parliament cannot speak in vain. If this Parliament promulgates this law, it must not speak in vain. ... view
