• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Which God do you believe in? If that order continues to be in place, the new ‘army’ that has just been recruited without training will shoot everybody dead. That will not augur well for the Government. Lastly, we need to go to the beacons we have been depending on. We need to enable the peace committees that we have to be active, instead of going there in the morning and coming back in the evening. You do not have a house in that place. I have told you to always sleep there and you do not. We must always go ... view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I request Sen. (Prof.) Anyang-Nyong’o to second. view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this serious Motion. It reminds me of Shakespeare’s play ‘ Julius Caesar,’ when somebody told Brutus: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” It would have been good contribution if we handled these very serious issues with less emotion and boisterousness, because that does not help. If we are looking for a solution, the method by which we look for that solution is in itself very important. This is a House of debate and records. We should leave emotions to the gladiators rather than the debaters. Having ... view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: It is generally right that we are trying to settle a security crisis by using the wrong methods. I would expect the Cabinet Secretary of Interior and Coordination of National Government, the Inspector General, the head of the Administration Police (AP) and the Army, not the politicians, to go to that region to investigate and find out the solution. By their very nature, politicians carry partisan labels and partisan points of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary, Sir, on a point of order. Is Sen. Murkomen in order to mislead this House that the Senator for Baringo was in Narok? He needs to confirm to this House whether he invited him or not. Lastly, if it is naming the people who were killed he should not be looking for sympathy. There were 22 people who were killed. You want us to table their names and where they come from? We need to see how we can go forward instead of raising emotions here. view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is my neighbour in order to mislead this House that nobody from his county has ever been killed in a different place? Could he confirm that a Marakwet was killed at Chepkoko The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I acknowledge what my colleagues have said. I also wish to bring to your attention the fact that Sen. Gideon Moi, the Senator for Baringo was supposed to be here, but he fell sick and is at the Aga Khan Hospital. It is, therefore, not true to say that Sen. Gideon Moi has been absent everywhere. This situation has intensified since we last met with President Uhuru Kenyatta, two weeks ago. We are, therefore, wondering why after we met with the President, the rest have gone haywire. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in noting that the meeting for tomorrow is quite important and it is in line with our role as Senators in Article 96(3) where the Senate determines allocation of national revenue among counties as provided in Article 217 and also exercises oversight over national revenue allocated to the county governments. This is our work and, therefore, every Senator has to attend because we need to be looking at the way revenue allocation to counties is done once in a while and should there be partners who want to join in beefing up and ... view
• 21 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have two statements to seek. SUPPLY OF FERTILIZER AND OTHER FARM INPUTS BY NCPB First, I wish to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the supply of fertilizer and other inputs by the National Cereal and Produce Board (NCPB) in light of the fact that agriculture is Kenya’s main driver of the economy. In the Statement, the Chairperson should; (a) Explain why NCPB has not purchased and stocked fertilizer and other farm inputs for farmers ahead of the planting season this year yet the long rains ... view
• 21 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wonder if the Chairman has a calendar that shows him, today, it is 21st February, 2017. Next Wednesday will be 1st March. The planting season starts from 1st March in the Rift Valley. Can the Chairperson shorten the days so that he can respond to this Statement in one week’s time? We are nowadays digital.
