  • 23 Jul 2014 in Senate: I thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. First, is to recognize that despite whatever criticism will be directed against Rwanda, they have done a lot to bring that country to a situation of stability where institutions are working. In saying this, I also want to remember that when the first military coup was conducted in Rwanda and the King was overthrown, he together with his family and associates lived in Kenya for a very long time. Kenya became a safe haven for the Rwandese for quite a number of years. I also want ... view
  • 22 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I seek the following Statement from the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, relating to compliance with Article 231(4) of the Constitution in the following terms:- (1) What is the national Government doing to ensure that notes and coins issued as currency by the Central Bank of Kenya comply with the provisions of Article 231(4) of the Constitution and why there is delay in compliance? (2) Can the Chairman confirm or deny that there is a serious scheme on the part of the national Government to go round ... view
  • 22 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, two weeks will be sufficient because this is a straight forward question. He can give an answer on the 31st July, 2014, but if it is possible he can do so within two weeks before we go on recess, I will not have any objections. view
  • 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. There was reference to the word “bull of Elgeyo-Marakwet.” I do not know what that means or whether there is a Member of Parliament (MP) with that name. But I know that from Elgeyo-Marakwet, there was the “bull of Oakland,” who was the total man; and this one is not one! view

  • 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will carry it. I am so sorry. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for bringing this Bill because it is an important Bill. I want to point out from the outset that if you look at what the Constitution requires of political parties, so as to reflect the national character; and also if you look at the Political Parties Act in terms of what the Constitution requires in Section 7 of the Act, you will realize the importance of this Bill. It says that a political party is required to recruit fully ... view
  • 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We also have the Zanakis of the Kuria Tribe. Kenya is a bit far from that situation. I want to support what Sen. Omar was saying that the strength of our democracy and parties will be shown one day when the bigger parties will have somebody from a minority leading them and stepping in State House. Probably then, we will say that we have dealt with the problem of ethnicity. If we require political parties to do what even a Government is not doing, with regard to inclusivity--- Sen. (DR.) Khalwale has been making this ... view
  • 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is disabusing the question of ethnicity. Ethnicity exists in the minds of the ruling clique. The truth of the matter is that former President Moi’s Government, in terms of inclusivity, did better than the current Government. 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
  • 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I meant is that people thinking that the current Government is a coalition between the Kalenjins and the Kikuyus, this is further from the truth. The truth of the matter is that those who are in power today are pretending and posturing as if they are a Government of these two communities. If you go out there in the streets today, you will find people from those two communities making the same noises that other communities are making about living standards and security. If you go to Mpeketoni, you will find very few Samburus making ... view
  • 24 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First of all, I want to appreciate the by-partisan manner in which this debate is being held because unless we do that, we are not going to resolve the more important problems that confront the nation today. If you look at Article 238 of the Constitution, it requires of the national security organs of the state to protect the territorial integrity of Kenya against external and internal threats, and also protect the people. On that account alone, it must be admitted that ... view
