• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Why are you telling us to create a fund of Kshs10billion, when we know that you have properties spread across this country and the Forbes Magazine put some of you as the wealthiest people in this region? view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, some people have mind-boggling wealth and if you try to pursue the structure of that wealth, it was acquired in the most illegal of manners. Today, they are able to win advantage over the peasant populations, basically because they have sustained a policy of preservation. We need to open an audit. That is what the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) report says. If there is a place in the TJRC Report that was doctored, it is the chapter on lands. It was further doctored by the National Assembly. So, the TJRC Report is a watered down ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, like the previous speakers before me, I also want to congratulate the First Lady for the initiative she has taken. I also had the opportunity to attend the Beyond Zero Marathon this year as testimony of our support for the issues she has highlighted. The First Lady does not only support but advocates around these issues and, therefore, it is inherent on this Government to take cue and implement policies that make this system sustainable. I do not think we can run for the next 10 years simply to sustain these initiatives; eventually, there must be things ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have come with a lot of weighty requests for statements to this House. We know that after the lapse of a session, the questions also lapse. Since these were pertinent issues, you must give direction. Twice, my questions have been frustrated by passage of sessions. So, I think because of the intricate nature of that issue, you must direct that we have a closure on the matter before we can proceed. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Musila made it very clear that – in fact, I do not know where he is – that in the first Division, he did not realize that his machine had not responded to the vote, then he voted manually. view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I am aware that the petitioners, at some point came before the two Standing Committees of the Senate; the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and the Standing Committee on Broadcasting. I have listened to some of the issues in the petition and there is a general sense in which that fair competition talked about in the petition tends to give a certain advantage to foreign investors over local ones. We know that this country where a local investor is able to invest over and above any foreign investor, then ... view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In terms of decorum and as has always been the tradition whenever there is a Motion that is agreed upon in the RBC, which captures the objectives of this House, Sen. Keter would have just asked our Senate Deputy Minority Leader to second this Motion. I would ask Sen. Keter to rise up and apologize and them we go ahead and live with the traditions. view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As you are also telling Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to do the honorable thing, Sen. Billow, has even done worse. He said all these looting, raping and stealing emanate from your side because he heard his leader somewhere bumbling in a public rally and those types of things which are totally unsubstantiated. If we are dealing with emotions, let us also make sure that you regulate that side, if they are asking for decorum, then, they should also exercise it because if he started it, somebody has to stop it. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope to stick within the two minutes, but because of the length of the Report --- view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, allow me two more minutes. I do not know how to respond to this because there is a response to my question and, at the same time, Sen. Billow Kerrow referred very broadly to the substance of the Report.So, I will be a bit more specific because this Report actually validates a lot of the things we have been saying. It makes very scary assertions --- view
