• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Sometimes, state institutions can pretend to take you through judicial processes. The case of the young man, Mr. Adungosi, was an extrajudicial killing. An extrajudicial killing is not about the police. Even the courts can be used, like the court system was used Jomo Kenyatta. His trial was shame. The Judiciary was not independent and was used by the colonial powers to condemn the Kapeguria Six to long terms. Thank God that those six at least came out alive. Knowing the conditions of detentions at that time, some of them could not have come out alive. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: To that extent, I hope that in passing this Report, we should come out with appropriate legislation. Also, there should be right training for our law institutions. All the Constitution says is how we should deal with crime. Commission of crime is not a basis for violating the Constitution or the Bill of rights. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the report and commend the Chairman of the Committee to which I belong. Thank you. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fully support this Petition. This is one of the things that when brought to Parliament, you get a little ashamed because they are not coming for the first time. Whenever such issues are brought before this House, we talk about them, but nothing is done. If this was an idle problem, it would not have been addressed in the Constitution. The Chapter dealing with land talks very firmly and robustly about not only historical injustices on issues relating to land, but the need to resolve those historical injustices. Parliament was required to come up with legislation ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, I would. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the most likely destination for Sen. Murkomen would have been somewhere in Saudi Arabia or Oman. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Sen. Wetangula is right on point. Without that resistance, communities such as the one that I come from would have suffered a lot. The Talai Community of Nandi that resisted were taken to Rusinga Island and Lambwe Valley. The Talai Community was displaced because of the kind of resistance they gave the colonizers. It is many years since Independence and such communities do not have any piece of land, including from the places they came from. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: It is a big shame that up to today, such communities do not have land. Their land is given to private institutions and public bodies in the Rift Valley, particularly where Laikipia is also found. Land that was previously communal is given to private entities and large-scale land owners. I know of a case in Kajiado where for two reasons, the Maa Community gave out land to create corridors for wildlife. They also donated land for public use to establish institutions, but when they demanded the land back, they were not given. That issue went to the National Assembly; it ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Therefore, Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe, do not give up on this; continue to be pushy. Although the best we can do sometimes is just talk about it, like I have heard Sen. Murkomen and Wetangula talking about it. The more you talk about it, the more some kind of resolution will come ultimately. I remember what Hon. Mwangale said when J.M. view
• 14 Oct 2021 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
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Kariuki was killed, ‘you stone’- he was addressing the Government - that although you are not talking, you have heard. view
