• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the questions being raised about the census are legitimate. The reason why the population census is important is because planning and allocation of resources depend on populations in regions, counties and sub-counties and so on, and so forth. Therefore, it is not without reason that a census takes place regularly. If people have no confidence in the population census, then it is an exercise in futility. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: I do not know whether Nigeria has carried out a census recently. For many years, it was impossible to carry out a census in Nigeria because nobody would accept the figures for good reasons. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: This is because most of the figures were being fraudulently altered. When it came to the contest of who are more, between the Yoruba and the Hausa, it was a big political The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: question. Therefore, there are some regions where, honestly, some questions should be answered by the responsible State agency. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Having said that, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the request of this Statement is on matters which do not necessarily do with the global figures, as it were, for regions or counties. I think it is talking about rural-urban population and also the number of domestic animals. These are our important figures to have for planners and even leaders. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: I support this Statement, and I hope that when the Committee comes with it, we will have these statistics which will guide us in many ways in planning and development. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious issue which has come before the Senate many times. It was there in the previous Senate, and it is now in this Senate. I remember that in the last Session, I brought a similar question, and Sen. Sakaja, who is sitting across, was involved in the process of trying to seek answers from the Executive on the Status of Migingo in so far as the Kenya Government was concerned. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: For all of us, as Sen. Wetangula has said, Migingo is in Kenya. When we were in the Joint Committee of Kenya and Uganda, looking into the question of Migingo, we visited that island with more than four Kenyan CSs and six Ugandan CSs, and a foreign affairs Minister who was a good friend of Sen. Wetangula. It took the Ugandan Ministers more than eight hours to get to Migingo. The fastest way for them to get there was to go through Kenya by road up to Migingo. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: To go to Migingo Island from Muhuru Trading Centre can take you about 30 minutes by small boat. Under International law, it is recognized that you can acquire a territory and declare sovereignty through conquest or occupation. That is an international law principle that is recognized worldwide. It would appear that by conduct, the Kenya Government is ceding sovereignty to the Republic of Uganda of our territory. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the Kenya Government cannot protect a small island which is less than an acre, how can they protect the sovereignty of the entire country? I The electronic version ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: hope that this time round, if this matter is referred to the relevant Committee, it may require the relevant Ministries led by the CSs to appear in a Committee of the Whole. This is because this matter had been going on for far too long. Under the Grand Coalition Government and the Cabinet team that was essentially led by Sen. Wetangula and the late Minister Saitoti, we were just about to get there. In fact, we got colonial records, including old maps done by military officers who were deployed by the colonial army. Those maps were showing clearly that those ... view
