• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I laud Sen. (Dr.) Zani for introducing this adjournment Motion as a result of the acute and urgent need to discuss the matter at hand; the lecturers and doctors strike. It is a pity that 74 days have gone by with doctors out of work. The people who need their services have not been attended to all along. These are many days compared to the number of lives at stake. It makes us look like a country that is not very serious. We cannot address the matters at hand. The leadership of the country, the President ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my colleagues, my sisters in particular, did not pay attention. I started by saying that it is a pity that the top leadership of this country is in the villages looking for votes and ignoring the problems we have at hand. I started by mentioning the President and his deputy, and then, came to the former Prime Minister who is also the leader of Opposition which is the team that is supposed to be keeping the Government on its toes. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I expected the Opposition to be in the streets forcing this Government to behave and deal with the current problems affecting Kenyans. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, which is better? Is it to allow Kenyans to die when the same leaders are very busy in the villages looking for votes? It is a very absurd agenda when we are supposed to be dealing with the doctors. Like I said, I watched the clip of Atwoli saying how the strike has been mismanaged. He said that there is a problem in Afya House and the President needs to crack the whip. What does it cost if nothing is moving? You need to reshuffle the officers or remove them. If you watch Cable News Network ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is not time to point fingers but time to give solutions and soberly view ourselves as Kenyans, including the Opposition. They need to come up with tangible engagement with the leaders of the unions; whether doctors or lecturers. That way, things will move. Drought is now causing havoc everywhere but we are not seeing that happening because nobody is talking about it. This is the time that this House and the entire nation need to pay attention. Kenya is not going anywhere. We need to pay attention and look at problems that affect all of ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you and happy new year to you and all the Senators. I concur with what Sen. (Prof) Anyang’-Nyong’o has just said; that it makes sense that the last business of 28th December, 2016 was to send the Committee to do the business they have done. It has no harm if we can wait until the document is ready and tabled here for us to discuss. You had declared that we can go up to midnight. So, there is enough time for that. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the way Sen. Murkomen has eloquently and fluently tried to tell us that there are people--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Can he name the people he purports to have seen with degrees that were purchased? You cannot dilute this House, Parliament or county assembly to that extent. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We heard you clearly when you said the leadership of this House can retreat to the back, in your office, to discuss. There is a major obstruction. We are not following the debate because of the manner they are consulting right in front of us here. view
