• 13 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join in sympathising with the situation of Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. I applaud your decision and direction. However, it is very important that this matter be investigated further to its conclusion. This is because we are told that it was a police officer who served him with the summons, but we are not really sure whether it was a police officer or not. In future, it can also happen that somebody will come here masquerading as a police officer when it could be a criminal. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that there is a relevant committee ... view

• 13 May 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill, which I support provided that the necessary amendments are brought into place at the appropriate time. The role of the audit office cannot be overemphasized in this time and era. A financial system cannot be effective without an efficient and capable audit office. The task of the auditor is enormous especially now, because previously the Auditor-General was dealing with limited funds to audit, he was also auditing one Government but we now have 48 governments and it is the same Auditor-General who is ... view

• 7 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue here is; the Committee has done its work, it has been assured and once a resolution has been made, I seek guidance whether it will be the duty of this Committee or the Committee on Implementation which should take over the matter to ensure that, that decision is implemented. view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. First of all, I thank Sen. Murungi for coming up with this Bill, which I fully support as it seeks to establish structures and streamline certain things with the purpose of improving on the functionality of the Senate. The Bill seeks to address the needs of the Senate and the National Assembly. Madam Temporary Speaker, we all know that the Senate is new. The Constitution has a lot of weaknesses which previous speakers have highlighted. As we know, it is now two years since we have been in this Senate. We are ... view
• 6 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join my colleagues in contributing to this Petition. It is the right of the petitioner and, indeed, the people of that county to feel that the manner in which they were dispossessed of the land was not just. In view of the coming expiry of the leases, it is now time that they took back their land. It is a feeling that is natural because that, indeed, is their land. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can talk about the same elsewhere. In Trans Nzoia County when the British came some indigenous communities were dispossessed ... view

• 6 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whatever the case, even when the land was repossessed by the Government in some counties like Trans Nzoia, the losers did not benefit. This is subject to the issue of historical injustices that have been discussed. I think that the solution will finally come out of the action on the report on historical injustices. As I speak now, in Trans Nzoia County, we still have land on leases, for example, the ADC farms and the original owners still exist. Perhaps, it is time that the Government took bold action to ensure that if they are not returnable ... view
• 5 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to issue a Statement sought by the Sen. Fatuma Dullo Adan in respect to Malka Daka Irrigation Project in Garbatula Isiolo County. She had sought a Statement on whether a needs analysis was conducted before initiation of the project. She also wanted the Chair to explain why the affected community and the County Government of Isiolo were not involved in the design and implementation of the project. Thirdly, she wanted to know how much money was allocated for the two phases of the project and the duration to completion of each phase of the project. ... view
