• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: It looks like the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta is allowing foreigners to get into our ‘bedroom,’ which should stop immediately. The CS for Foreign Affairs and International Trade said that there is a joint security team and administration. That means that they are already ceding ground view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Petition and make a brief comment by saying that one of the biggest failures of the National Land Commission (NLC) is on historical land injustices. Under the Constitution, there is a specific mandate given to the NLC to address issues of historical and current land injustices. This is one of the areas that the NLC has failed to address. When it comes to the question of the Kipsigis community, I am familiar that apart from the Nandi, Kipsigis, Kikuyu and probably some of the communities at the coast, these four ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: 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
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: grandstanding or posturing about some of these problems. Let us look for practical solutions. I hope that the Jubilee Government will rise up and address some of these issues before the end of its tenure. It only has two and a half years to go. If they cannot do it, we can begin addressing it from the opposition and have it see the light at the end of the tunnel by the year 2022. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having too much knowledge can also be dangerous. I will invite the Member to go and look at a document known as the National Land Policy which I prepared, placed before the Cabinet and was passed by the National Assembly but the implementation was left to Government. Unfortunately, that National Land Policy came towards the end of the NARC Government. If you would still want to know, we were fought by huge land owners in this country who were against that National Land Policy including people in the Cabinet at that time. I said it on the ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, did you hear what Sen. Cheruiyot said; that the spokesman of the Kipsigis was not given a chance to speak? I do not know of any county known as Kipsigis. Is there a spokesman for the Kipsigis? If there is a claim for somebody being a spokesman for the Kipsigis, I deserve that title more than he does. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important matter and a very serious Statement. I commend the distinguished Senator of Bungoma for bringing this Statement to the Senate and hope that the relevant Committee will deal with it expeditiously. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical substances, and I emphasize; chemical substances, causes more than 200 diseases ranging from diarrhea, which we now and again experience, but cancers. I want to emphasize that the prevalence of cancer in this country as we witness almost every day, may be a direct consequence ... view

• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: I wish to suggest to the Senator for Bungoma that sometimes we may be calling the names of other states like Mexico, but I do not think Mexico would export contaminated maize to Kenya because they also export maize to the United States of America. Their reputation is very important. If it is from Brazil, I can say without fear or favour that the contamination is not from there because they have very strict rules. I am talking of Brazil where one of the most popular leaders who was sent to jail, a former President and my hero, Lula, is ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also support this Statement. Football is a game of the people. All over the world, there is no popular sport than football. Historically, we have produced amazing talents in this country. Unfortunately, our record at club and national level, be it Harambee Stars or whatever formation of national teams we have had before, we have not been doing well. For example, if you look at Kenya against Uganda over the years, Uganda has got a more superior football record. We never win any games against Uganda. Uganda has had so many problems. It cannot be explained ... view
