• 24 Jun 2014 in Senate: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very grateful to the request that has been made to the House and the Speaker by the Senate Majority Leader. I had also made a similar request which is entirely in the same terms as articulated by the Senate Majority Leader. That request is in compliance with Standing Order No.33(1) and 33(2). In the circumstances, I wish to seek your direction, not that I want to be seen to be compromising the Motion that my learned friend is going to move, but just for purposes of completeness and record. I wonder if you could give ... view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to say from the outset that what happened in Lamu was a massacre of a criminal nature. No amount of language can be used to try and characterize what happened in Lamu other than it being a crime against the people of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to advance your argument that, really, there is nothing like “political crimes”. Crimes are crimes, and they are punishable under the law. So, nobody should hide behind the politics that are happening in any other area, including Lamu, to commit crimes against the people ... view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: It is not an offence either; I can call you whatever I like besides calling you Senator. But I think you are fed up--- I think power has gone into your head and you think--- view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: No, Mr. Speaker, Sir; we have been here. There was a time when me, personally, I was prosecuted for being elected as president of the students union; and the law was saying that there was only one President in this country. These are the little minds that made Kenya become a dictatorship! view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: No, Mr. Speaker, Sir; I was prosecuted by the magistrate that I appeared before. He was saying that although under the Constitution, there was the President of the Republic of Kenya, but I was the president of the students union and there was no offence. Mark you; I was being prosecuted by an Attorney-General. view
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: By that time, the Attorney-General Emeritus was not one of them. I was with him at Alliance High School. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I would plead – and I want to take the Senate Majority Leader on this one – that casting aspersions on Senators like us – and I know he means this – will not take you anywhere. We have been there on that road; even Sen. Beth Mugo has been there with me on that road when she was there on the streets and when you were a toddler at the university, I was there on ... view
• 17 Jun 2014 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
• 17 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the loss of lives in Lamu must be fully investigated. If the President says it is political, let that case be made out because he has been given those instruments. The executive authority is bestowed on the President, and if he is misleading us, like the former President misled us at one time that Hon. J.M. Kariuki had travelled to Lusaka, Zambia, when he was lying dead in Ngong Hills, then let it be; we have heard those lies before. If it is political and he knows that it is political---. What happened in Lamu was not ... view
