• 5 May 2020 in Senate: If Sen. Sakaja goes to the records, he will find whatever happened, including what the Kibaki Government did with to the people of Budalang’i. As soon as the Jubilee Government took over, when the President went there, even a bridge that they tried to build crashed. Hiyo ndio sura ya Jubilee kwaukweli. You must wake up. This is the time to wake up. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: The only problem is that even when the handshake happened, they were asleep and were not aware, including Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura. This is the problem that they have. Wake up! That is all that I am telling you. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Statement. The last component of that Statement is very important. It is on the question of compliance with court orders. One of the fundamental provisions of the Constitution is the rule of law. The moment a Government does not comply with or obey the court orders that Government could not sit and preside over the affairs of a constitutionally or democratically elected Government. I sit in that Committee with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. we should come out with a firm answer. That answer should come from the top to tell us why it is ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: As a Chairperson of committees and the leadership of the side opposite, we should come out with these answers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg you that we should have these answers next week. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., you are going to go very far in being in the frontline of fighting for the rule of law and democracy. My son, you will achieve the top. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also thank Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this timely Statement. I congratulate him similarly for quite often coming up with Statements like this which are very important. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the President spoke to the nation on 25th March, 2020, on that particular, they identified 28 cases of COVID-19 infections. Worldwide, there were over 400,000 cases. Today, in Kenya, the figure is approaching 370 and worldwide, it is now over three million. As we face this crisis, there are countries which are going in the opposite direction. In New Zealand, today ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: When is the Kenya Government going to be in a position to give for once, something free, although it is not that free because it is coming from the taxpayers’ money? 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
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: In Kenya, we are giving out one mask a day while Senegal and some countries like South Africa and Ghana are paying rent for their citizens in the major towns. At least in Kenya, we should be able to make a social response, an intervention on behalf of the people of Kenya. Otherwise, saying that we have allocated Kshs40 billion and there is nothing to show for it on the ground, I think that the country is not going to believe what is happening. It is high time that we lived to the country’s expectations. I am delighted to note ... view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just wondering, the distinguished Senator for Kakamega seems to be having distinguished cousins and others who are not distinguished. This is the mischief that I think, Chair, you are trying to repair. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Chair should not be speaking in vain. Whenever the Chair gives a directive, the Clerks must make sure that that matter is reflected on the Order Paper. If Sen. Wetangula had not risen to bring that to our attention, it could have simply disappeared. Once the Chair has given a directive, the matter belongs to the House and should appear on the Order Paper. view
