• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I congratulate Sen. Wetangula, our Senate Minority Leader for bringing up this very important issue. South Sudan was really the hope and dream of Africa. It proved that we, as Africans, had come of age and were able to give birth to a new nation. In my further request, the chairperson should tell us what the Jubilee Government is doing with regard to Kenyans living in South Sudan, particularly truck drivers. What is their welfare? What has been done in evacuating them? We would also like to know in that statement what the state ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I also commend the Senator for Murang’a for bringing this important matter to the House. Security is as strong as its weakest link. Our security is very paramount in this Parliament. I am particularly horrified that the weakest link to our security here is the Senator’s entrance.

• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I am not being repetitive. I echo the same words that Sen. Kembi-Gitura said. Since the distinguished Chairman had already indicated in this House that he was ready to proceed, and it was only that Sen. Mbuvi was not in the House, it behooves the Chairperson to apologise to this House for misleading you and the entire Senate. Secondly, we would also like the record to clearly show that it was not because Sen. Mbuvi was not present that the Statement was not read. I have a right to repeat because we want this matter to be ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education regarding recent burning of secondary schools in Kisii County namely; Nyamache Boys Secondary School, St. Andrews Kagwi Boys High School, Nyakoiro High School, Itierio Boys High, Mochenwa, Riambase and Nyamonye SDA Secondary Schools.

• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, may I request through your Chair that the Chairperson of the Committee on Education would call the Senator for Kisii County and as members of that delegation which I am the Vice-chairperson, be present when the CS for Education is called. view
