• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: As we know very well, there are issues with Kenya Airways and the competition from the Ethiopian Airlines because Ethiopian Airlines seems to be taking over the airspaces within Africa and beyond. We in Kenya need to be quite careful because sometimes when we procure some of the aircrafts or other related equipment, people are not very keen on doing due diligence with regards to their own safety. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: It is not by conjecture or coincidence that many countries have, in quick succession, gone ahead to ban the use of the Boeing 737 aircrafts that are manufactured in Charleston in South Carolina where Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., I, and others visited last year. Therefore, the USA, obviously has got every reason to protect its own indigenous company because that is the only way countries do, the same manner the Italian Government is protecting the companies involved in Arror and Kimwarer dams. I do not know whether it is the same thing happening regarding the stories we are hearing about ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: It is a matter of fact that if countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, the whole of the European Union and others that you can mention have gone ahead to terminate contracts with Boeing Corporation because of the type of aircrafts, then it is only fair that we should have a proper investigation. Since Kenya is affected, we need to be issued with the Statement. We need to know whether there are similar jets that operate within our airspace, so that we do not end up with a similar calamity just because there is a lot of negligence. Obviously, it appears ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: cannot explain how a plane can crash within six minutes upon takeoff because that is not enough time even to return back to the runway. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Like Sen. Khaniri has said, may all the departed souls rest in peace. I also condole with the families that were affected. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not anybody’s delegate. Senate Majority Leader, that is out of order. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kiambu County is not a person. Excuse me! Let us respect each other. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I state on record that I am not anybody’s delegate. I vote for Kiambu as a County and not on behalf of anybody. Let us proceed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Petition by the distinguished Senator for Kiambu, Sen. Wamatangi, whom I ably vote for, for my county, in his absence. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I am not anybody’s delegate as Sen. Murkomen is recommending. He also does not have a delegate. The laws that are made in this country state that we have to compensate anyone who is adversely affected. I congratulate the Senator for bringing out the plight of the people of Kiambu County. This matter does not only affect the people of Kiambu; it also affects the people of Nairobi. The ‘super’ Sen. Sakaja is here and he will rise to the occasion to defend his people. We have seen cases where there is a lot of corruption when it comes to ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This matter has been canvassed well in the House. There has been perpetual complaint about the conduct of the Committee on Health, particularly the Chairperson of the Committee. Health is a devolved function and it is not good for us to be asking for a Report of a very contentious scheme that seems to be undermining devolution of health, yet it cannot be the property of the House. As we look at the Budget Policy Statement and I am not anticipating debate, we are at pains to allocate another Kshs6.2 billion for the same ... view
