  • 1 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to thank the Senator for Nandi and the petitioners for bringing up this long standing issue of historical injustice. Indeed, this community has suffered for many years and the suffering that was meted on the Talai continues to affect their descendants. This issue needs to be addressed urgently by the Government. It is unfortunate that 50 years after Independence, it has not been addressed. This is only one case. There are many others. There are certain communities in this country that were completely displaced. I have in mind a community like ... view

  • 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this meeting will be very important because for the first time we are seeing the national Treasury and the donors, particularly the World Bank, getting interested in supporting the counties after so many years of devolution.

  • 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House has passed many Motions, but we do not seem to be getting any feedback from the Committee on Implementation regarding the progress. Would I be in order to ask that, in the Order Paper, there be a provision for reporting progress made on all the Motions that have been passed by this House? There are very many, but it seems that very little has been done in terms of implementation. view
  • 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to mourn our dear friend. I do this on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Trans Nzoia. We express our deep condolences to the family of the late Juma Boy Juma. I knew the Senator whom we are eulogizing today when I was a public servant. He was an MP and for that matter, the Chief Whip. His relation to those of us in the public service was excellent and he was very cooperative. He was a passionate representative of his people. He championed the ... view
