• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in supporting the sentiments of Sen. Malalah. The matter of importation of contraband goods, particularly sugar, has been with us for quite a long time and what surprises the country at the moment is that sugar that is being imported from as far as Brazil is entering the country at entry points which are undefined. From my security perspective, we are not getting any satisfactory explanation from the Government. I know that there is a health component in this matter because what we are talking about is sugar which is toxic. In ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for adding me the two minutes. I want to plead - now that we have the “handshake” - that we go back and examine our consciences and say if we want a country where we can all live together under one God and Constitution as brothers and sisters and where nobody is above the law; we can only attain that by being responsible citizens. It is the leaders who should be in the forefront of telling others how they should behave and conduct their businesses. What happens about Mr. Rai? We can call his ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also join the House and the Speaker in expressing our sense of loss and sorrow of one of us. It is a shock in the sense that Sen. Okello did not serve even a substantial fraction of his tenure because within few days when he was elected, he began to feel unwell. He comes from a County which is very dynamic and almost cosmopolitan. It has nearly every representation of the face of Kenya where many communities live. Be it people from that part of the world that you find a lot of business ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that was an excerpt. Thank you for your correction. I also know that the House plans to go there tomorrow. I hope that has been relayed because I came a little late. I am also appealing to Members to appear there because that will send a good signal in terms of what is happening to the country. Finally, our departed brother had been taken to India several times. At this stage of our development, we should be able to deal with what he was taken to India for. Whenever we travel we see so many Kenyans boarding ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, you said that the gracious lady Senator comes from near the burial ground of the Swahili Language and not from the burial ground. So, is it getting closer to me? view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. After hearing Sen. Madzayo, who was a judge in our judicial system, one cannot really say more. However, I wanted to emphasise that our constitutional democracy is based on certain foundational values, and one of them is the rule of law. Article 10 of the Constitution is very clear on this particular national foundational value and principle of governance in accordance with the Constitution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is becoming a worrying trend in the law enforcement system in the courts in the ... view
• 14 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. Before I say anything on the Bill directly, I want to repeat what the Senate Majority Leader said here earlier; that the Senate is an institution which is recognised by the Constitution. Its powers, functions and mandate are clearly spelt in the Constitution. But, more importantly, any Act which emanates from any of the Houses does not have the force of law, unless it is enacted by Parliament. There is nothing in the Constitution that talks about an Act, which has got the force of law that is enacted by the ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. There is only one issue which would come clearer when my friend, the Senator for Narok County, would address you briefly. You would look at the appendix on page 283, Paragraph 2. The water towers there are mentioned but the Mau is not mentioned. It could be an oversight, but the Mau is one of the important water towers. It would have been wrong for us to delay this Bill merely on account of that omission. However, I would invite the House at some time in the future that when an amendment is ... view
