• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on behalf of Sen. Ongoro, I beg to reply. I thank all the Senators who contributed to this Motion. They made very useful contributions which we have noted. The ideas that have been spoken about should be put into the Bill that is being worked on in the National Assembly. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the one-third gender principle is an issue that is enshrined in the Kenyan Constitution. It is an issue we cannot wish away and leave it hanging. We have no choice, but must put it into practice. It is the only way that ... view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I would like to thank your office and the Office of the Clerk for setting up this elaborate programme of training members and staff of the county assemblies. Just like our leader of Delegation, Sen. Obure, said, I am also very delighted to see Members of the County Assembly of Nyamira, which is the sister county to Kisii County.

I want to commend the County Assembly of Homa Bay for the great oversight role they are doing, particularly on matters pertaining to the management of resources in the government of Homa Bay, together with their distinguished Senator.

• 1 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir; I would like to ride on that question. Further, I would like to know why the economy is under-performing, why we have an unsustainable public finances? Why is our public finance doubling to unsustainable 10 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP); 18 per cent of our revenue?

• 1 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is unacceptable that we do not have a statement with regard to the question that Sen. Okongo asked on the case of Don Bosco. This is a young man who was incarcerated over two and a half years ago, as I speak now, in Tanzania, without any complainant being raised. It is a serious matter. This young man has a family that has been suffering without having the benefits of having a bread winner. He is a young man who had great businesses in this country which have been disrupted. ... view
