• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to share a few remarks as we come to the end of this Senate. This is one of the Houses that has had a number of challenges. When I try to see the far that we have come, it took the hand of God. I thank God and the people of Uasin Gishu County for giving me an opportunity to serve as their first Senator and to God, again, for his grace that we have life until this day. I want to thank Members who I cannot mention with ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I want to give an example of what Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o said. The Senator for Kisumu said that he is able to watch Manchester United play Liverpool while at his home in Kisumu and that is only possible through technology. Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'- Nyong'o said that he can watch Liverpool play Manchester United in Kisumu through technology which I agree. However, the electric power could go off in Kisumu but he could be able to watch the same football if he has a solar panel or a ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, there is this issue that is coming up again on the complementary back up. I should be very clear that the complementary back up is not a manual system, not necessarily. Secondly, if you read the submission by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) it says:- “The commission shall in consultation with the relevant agencies, institution and shareholders make regulations.” I am sure these regulations will be tabled at the Senate and Members will have time to ventilate. The question as to which complementary, we cannot answer now because the technical people who are the IEBC ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a minute is not enough but I will try. I want to point out two issues. First, the public is watching. It is now very clear who is promoting corruption in this country. It is saddening and unfortunate that this Committee of the Senate having struggled all this time to ensure that we have money to oversight, has lost it. I encourage them to move forward because we still have time. My worry is about the Senate that is coming after this Senate. If we are unable to fix this problem as at now, then the subsequent ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Allow me to also join my colleagues in congratulating the lecturers and the students of the School of Education from Eldoret University for having time to come to the Senate and learn a few things. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform them that this is a House of people rich in wisdom. They have an opportunity to interact and see great minds discussing ideas. I want to appeal to them to take their education seriously. This is a lifetime opportunity for them. Not all young people have made it to the university. ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate today, Wednesday, 6th July, 2016:- Report on the East Africa Community Inter-Parliamentary Games held in Kigali, Rwanda from 4th to 11th December, 2015. view

• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill by Sen. Obure. Let me echo the words of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and the words of the former President of South Africa, the late Nelson Mandela who once said education is a great equalizer. The child of a President and a child of a peasant farmer, whether from Bungoma or Uasin Gishu, are able to come together and reason. It is only education that brings them together. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, while those words are true, we are today witnessing devastating effects of cheating in examinations. First, the ... view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues have put it, I want to congratulate the Senator for Kisumu, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o, for bringing this wonderful Motion. From the outset, I want to congratulate Sen. Harold Kipchumba for being the 2015 United Nations (UN) Person of the Year. Such awards do not come as easy as we may think. Sen. Kipchumba is a champion of people living with disabilities. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
