• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, at the same time, I recognise a very brilliant lady from Uasin Gishu, Margaret Sawe, who appeared before the Committee on Budget and Finance. She went through interviews and now represents the Senate in the Salaries and Remunerations Commission (SRC). I think it is good to recognise the great talents that we have here. Sometime back, I read the profile of one George Bush Jnr., and was surprised to read that Paul Tergat was his role model. I was surprised because in terms of the hierarchy of power, you would want to imagine that the President ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no lack of laws to ensure that we take care of our athletes. In the first instance, in the Eleventh Parliament, we passed the Heroes Act, which recognises that sports and athletics is one of the grounds through which we can identify heroes and heroines and honour them. As Sen. Wako said, if they were to be given national honours, it would also serve to sanctify this practice that people may have lost confidence in. It is a question of ensuring that we do not just glorify certain aspects of our communal prosperity and ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, when most of us go out there, people ask whether we can run – even if we are big and unable to walk – simply because we come from Kenya. It is time we harnessed these great talents that we have, not just by word, but by implementing the Heroes Act and honouring our athletes. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, allow me to say that the visit to this county is very important, because if Moses can go to the mountain, the mountain can also come to Moses. If you comparatively look at the issue of power relations, the people who have power have no knowledge and the people who have knowledge have no power. Today, we are here and have really benefited from insights of various actors within the finance sector and health sector with regards to how we can even strengthen our demands to the national Government, in order to ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Ferdinand Waititu and Gov. Mike Mbuvi Sonko can have something to learn from the young Gov. Sang; it is very important. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: This is a game changer, going forward and it also justifies the reason we need young people in the position of governor. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of extractive industries, as represented by the able Sen. Cherargei, is really the bane of Africa, where people want to have legislation or regimes that do not clearly outline how resources will be shared. As a result, communities are deprived of their own natural wealth. This has been the case for far too long. It cannot happen that Africa has actually 30 per cent of the world wealth and yet, we remain to ... view
• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to thank Sen. Olekina for allowing me to jump the queue. That is kind of him. Recently when we were at the ASAL Conference, we had some informal conversation with some people. After many governors had presented on how they are doing well in their counties, someone asked whether it is them or the counties they come from. That summed it all. We are here to approve the County Disbursement Schedule to governors who I heard Sen. Omogeni describe as “payroll masters” but I disagree with that. County governors are doing well. This morning, we ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate Sen. Outa for being nominated to serve in this Committee. I believe that this House will approve his nomination. We call him the Thur Dibuoro; Tsunami of Kisumu County. I am sure that he understands why that name is alluded to him. I served with him in the National Assembly and on several occasions, we were thrown out of the Chamber on account of standing strongly on issues. Madam Temporary Speaker, every speaker who has spoken so far has alluded to one fact; that our visibility in terms of health matters is really ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker--- view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the guilty are always afraid. I have not mentioned anybody. The only name I have mentioned is that of Sen. Dr. Abdullahi Ali who is in this House. Therefore, I do not know what the problem of the Senate Majority Leader is. There was nothing that was out of order. Let me continue because the Senate Majority Leader has the capacity to talk more than me. Let me have the space. Madam Temporary Speaker,---- view
