• 10 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to bring to your attention whether you are aware that today is the beginning of the month of Ramadhan across the world. As the third highest member of the organization of Government after the President and the Deputy President, you must take that opportunity as the Chair to wish the Muslims a healthy Ramadhan. view
• 10 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I support this Motion. Whether we like it or not, harambee has become a phenomenon that is accepted as a way of culture or a way of life in Kenya on literally every front. As the Mover of the Motion intends, we need to streamline this important industry because it is a multi-billion shilling industry that needs to have some form and order. I do believe, in addition to setting up criteria for projects that qualify for harambee contributions, we must stipulate the objects of fundraising. Fundraising must be an act of ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in Senate: I am sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir for referring to you as a temporary Speaker. I looked behind and saw Mr. Speaker leave. We need to restructure the harambee system in this country. Harambee is a Kenyan phenomenon and a lot of people have had the alternative to go through schools and universities because the harambee system gave us the opportunity. Harambees should equate the fact that there are good signs in it because we are people of endless generosity. As Kenyan people, we must stand for one another. The more classical individualist societies characterized by the western society could not ... view

• 9 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other day, we set a new standard that everybody just says “I vote yes as per the Standing Orders.” Can Sen. Kajwang, please, repeat it? view
• 4 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, once Sen. Bule has spoken, I really do not have anything to add. That said and done, I would like to support this Motion and lay down a Government philosophy of development. No Government can purport to develop a society, a community or an area by disenfranchising groups of people for whatever purpose or development.

It is because of a greedy ... view
