• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Kuti has made serious allegations against the leader of this robust coalition as a “Jet-set” individual, I think, insinuating that he was never available. Could he substantiate or withdraw and apologise to our leader? view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for this opportunity. As much as I do comprehend the Kiswahili language, I think that my senior and elder, the Senator for Kwale, has actually given the context and he literally spoke to some of the points that I have put together. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, is just a cautionary or advisory note to the Committee. I think that that the Committees of this Senate must not operate like the traditional Committees that we have known. The Committees of this Senate must try to go deeper in terms ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did make an allegation to that effect, but did not say which railway it went into paying that commission. But that said and done, Sen. Keter, my initial point, if you were listening to me without the emotions of the Coalition, was that if similar investments can be made so sporadically to build some of the most modern infrastructure or means of communication, what stops any successive Government, including this Government that is in power right now, to commit equal money to save the Kenya Refinery Limited? view

• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to make cognizance that a lot of time was taken in that--- view
• 19 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it unsettles me to know that it is very easy to intimidate Sen. (Dr.) Kuti. But that said and done, I would like to say that this Committee must address itself to how they can salvage Kenya from this sorry state we find ourselves in. I have seen certain robust proposals about the potential transformation of the usage of the Kenya Petroleum Refinery Limited (KPRL). However, my view is that there should be substantial investment to secure fully the operations of this refinery. Sen. Melly, Sen. Wangare and the Speaker, Hon. Ethuro, and I, visited an ... view

• 18 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity. Mine is also to come here and to support this Motion by Sen. (Dr.) Zani which is extremely timely. The Motion comes at a time when the Senate must address itself to the holistic approach to adult education; universities being just one of the many components of education. That is not in doubt. Our universities have been commercialized such that the quality and standards have been compromised.
