Further to what my colleagues, distinguished Senators have raised, I want to concur that the report is inadequate, bureaucratic and does not address the issues we are concerned about in Pokot and Turkana. In fact, this is a cut and paste report. Further, this report does not even address the plight of many women and vulnerable children in that region. Today, I read that almost 90 per cent of the people hurt in the incident that just occurred were women and children. We know that regarding the incident raised by the distinguished ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to seek further clarification on this matter of fertilizer, which is extremely sensitive. As I speak now, farmers have once again been issued with Mavuno fertilizer and they have started planting.

• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to commend Sen. Sang for trying to deliver this Statement. This matter really grieves me because the lives of two women are in real danger. We have been told that they have been intimidated, coerced and undue influence exercised over them. There has been undue pressure for them to resign. As I speak, Prof. Onsongo is very sick. The lady has been forced to take a lot of medicine because of the pressure and intimidation that she has been facing everyday and night. Her phone is constantly ringing and people ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also express my shock and sympathy to the families of the victims of the tragic ongoing crisis in Garissa. It is very sad that today we have lost 15 people in Garissa as at now. Out of the 15, four of them are personnel officers. A further 550 people are still unaccounted for. It grieves me that as we speak, the terrorists are profiling the hostages between Muslims and non Muslims. We have spoken about these issues of insecurity for a very long time. I know that even as ... view

• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to help you out by referring you to the Presidential Address for last year and the Report that was laid on the Table. How did we debate it with the annexes that were attached? I think that precedence will guide us on how we will conduct today’s proceedings. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to further note and support what Sen. Orengo has said. In fact, that is a really derogatory term to use. Our brothers in USA who are black like us are called African-Americans. view
