• 25 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on that light moment, I wish to support this Motion. I can tell you, when the Professor comes up with a few remarks time and again, you could actually lose your train of thought, but I have remained steady despite that disruption. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in Senate: I beg to support and ask Sen. Kagwe to bring the robust enabling legislation so that we can realize the aspirations of this Senate in this country. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. Like all those who have spoken before me, on behalf of Mombasa County and, in fact, on my own behalf and that of my family, I want to send my sincere condolences to all the bereaved families and those who have sustained injuries. I also want to commend the actions of our security forces which are ongoing in terms of reclamation of the Westgate Mall and to ensure that more lives are not lost. Everything has been said and so repeating will not be a good thing. However, we also have to ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Islam. At that point in time, some of us were at our formative ages and that is why in many of the terrorist actions you can pin point a family or an individual that you know. Some of the people on the most wanted list were young men we grew up with in our neighbourhoods. So, when I talk about terrorism, it has affected us real time.

• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Senator for Baringo County, who is the Chair of that Committee for his answer. I remember during the time that I was at the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), we had done extensive work on demolitions and evictions. We had adopted the best practices in terms of the UN Guidelines on Evictions. That was prepared as a paper which was partly included in our land policy on the best practices in terms of the UN Guidelines on Evictions that now serve as a guide to how evictions must ... view

• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. Khaniri to use an entrance other than the one designated by the Senate? Did you not see him walk from this side? view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, many of us, including those from Mombasa, despite the fact that it is Kenya’s second capital and, probably, the second biggest contributor to the country’s economy, have been brought up knowing that we have been marginalized. I did expect that Mombasa would qualify for that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, but that notwithstanding, if we follow Article 204(4) of the Constitution, I think it is partly the work of this Senate to debate on the appropriation of the Equalisation Fund. My view to the Committee on Devolved Government would be that maybe we need to subject this ... view
