• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order when Sen. Cheruiyot is making a very important point that Sen. Cherargei is on his feet throughout and engaging two Senators? In fact, I have noticed that whenever Sen. Cherargei is speaking, Sen. Cheruiyot is always dead quiet. I do not know what he has against the Senator of Kericho, that as soon as he starts speaking, he feels that he must talk to somebody. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: No, it cannot be a border issue and he cannot be bonding unless he is firmly in bed with somebody. Sometimes when there are rules in the House, it is good to obey them. Sen. Cherargei was on his feet throughout and talking. Even Sen. Murkomen who started listening was drawn away by Sen. Cherargei and I think that was not right. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I think the issues being raised by the Senator of Samburu are very serious. I am very much concerned that instead of discussing the issue, we are discussing the Committee. This is a great disservice to the people of Laikipia. view
• 16 Sep 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
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: In fact, the problem in Laikipia is so serious that I would have thought that given this opportunity, we would not be talking about ourselves. We should be talking about what is taking place in Laikipia. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: The problem is so serious because it is not happening for the first time. It has been persistent to the extent that the Committee and the Senate as a whole should determine the root causes of the problems in Laikipia. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: This is my problem, which, in fact, I think it is the entire triangle. There is a great provision in the Constitution – and this I am talking to the security forces - that in carrying out their activities, they must do it in accordance with the Bill of Rights. The police and security have no basis for violating the Bill of Rights on the basis of carrying out a security operation. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: That is the time when a good government is distinguished from a bad one. Even in war, it should be respecting human rights. I am so scared that in carrying out this security operation, property is still being destroyed. Is that compliance with the Constitution? People and animals are being killed. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: This problem in Laikipia is not about the Senate because we know where those responsibilities lie. A Committee of this Senate and the Senate cannot carry out a war or go there to fight in defense of the Nation. There are proper institutions that are answerable. I am seeking an answer because the problem of Laikipia is not coming up today. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: If in this crescent of Baringo, Samburu and Laikipia over the years--- It is not a matter of this thing happening this month or for the last two months. For the last 20 years, the problems have persisted in Laikipia. Are we using the appropriate tools? Sometimes guns do not work. You can go there with tanks and guns. Even the Americans with best war machines in the world have known that and left Afghanistan. view
