• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: After President Obama, who happens to be a son of Kenya was here, we keep on getting mixed up. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: I was saying that incidentally, the USA which happens to be one of the greatest democracies has not seen it fit to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. However, I am happy to note that Kenya is the first African country to come up with a Bill that will regulate the effects of climate change in this country. The Bill, as many speakers have said before me, sets out policy framework that will adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change. There is a provision for a council to be set up. However, I have issues with this clause. I hope that ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also seek further clarification. While I thank the distinguished Senator, who is the Chair of this Committee, for bringing this answer to the House, it is inadequate. A widow has been left with children to be their father and mother, yet the circumstances under which the late officer Okindo was killed are still extremely unclear. From the report that the distinguished Chair has given us, it is quite clear that, indeed, this could not have been an incident of the officer killing himself. As the distinguished Senator for Kisii ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could I suggest that we remove the cards for the Members who are not present? view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was also present at this meeting. I thank Sen. Ndiema who pulled me to attend although I arrived there when it was almost concluding. I feel sad that our distinguished Senator from Kisii County was not at the meeting and yet he was the originator of the questions. The questions are very passionate to the delegation of Kisii County. I feel that our Committee should have called Sen. Obure to be present because the deliberations were very fruitful. As a way forward, in future, I suggest that when something like this is expected to ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Kanainza for bringing up this very important Question because it relates to the death of a very important young person. This is a woman and one of the strongest youth that we had in this country. Further, in that statement, I would also like the Chairperson of the Committee to explain how many mushrooming private clinics are in this country, how many are registered in Nairobi, if they have suitable maternal care equipment and whether they have qualified medical practitioners. view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. First, I would like to thank the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Land and Natural Resources, the distinguished Senator for Vihiga County, Sen. Khaniri for going out of his way to get a response to this statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought this statement in May, 2015. As you can see, it has taken over two and a half months to get the responses. The Senator had to issue summons to get the responses. It was actually like trying to milk a camel to get the answers. Therefore, I ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for informing me about that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answers have been given. However, as the English saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Until the foaming, the effluence and the smell that comes out of Nairobi Dam ceases, that is when we will know that something has been done. Since May, I have been passing there. Every evening, I make sure that I pass through Nairobi Dam to see efforts being done. I wish the dam can become as clean as it used to be in the 1970s when we ... view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, further to that question raised by the distinguished Senator for Vihiga, I seek further clarification. Could the Chairman in that Statement ask the governors to give a tabulation of the so-called security who I believe are militia? Which clans or wards do they come from? view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the distinguished Senator for Kakamega mumbling some words that are not English or Swahili? Is he in order to mumble words whose meaning we do not understand? view
