• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to inform Sen. (Dr.) Zani that as far AS we know, the strongest candidates in a nomination are delivered by their own individual parties. Likewise, the respective Senators are elected in their counties. For that reason, our nominated colleagues are here strongly to safeguard the interests of the institutions that we stand for. Therefore, any other person that may purport to imagine that people come here through a different process is really misled. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, noting that we are in devolution now, where we have elected Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs), Members of the National Assembly, Women Representatives, Governors and Senators, could the Chairperson table a document that shows how these respective offices get to know how many women groups in their respective constituencies have benefitted per year? view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, over a week ago, one police man went berserk and killed his colleagues in Kapenguria Police Headquarters. It is alleged that he was an Al Shabaab sympathizer. He has served for two years in the police service. Could the Chairperson tell us what stringent criteria have been put in place to identify apriori these Kenyans that are already in these vices so that they do not find themselves in the police service? They could be more dangerous in future. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I enjoyed listening to Sen. M. Kajwang. If an honorary title was to be awarded today, we would award him for supporting women vigorously. I also rise to support this Bill which is quite interesting. As my colleague Sen. M. Kajwang has said, amendments will be suggested when it moves to the next stage. I congratulate Sen. Sijeny for being bold enough to raise these issues in the Constitution, particularly Articles 81, 90, 97 and 98. They dwell majorly on nominations with regard to gender and persons living with disabilities at all levels; the county assembly, ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it now needs to come into the minds of Kenyans that we should not force things onto others whenever we have an idea that may be appealing to you. Do not misuse a position, particularly when you are a person in charge. Article 81 (e) says:- “Elections must be free and fair”. I suppose this is why we now have this agitation of wanting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to be reformed which is true because if the players and the users of the decision of the IEBC are not comfortable, then it requires ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for reminding my neighbour that he is the next one in line. We need to remind him that I am the other small king. When you see Sen. Murungi here--- 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
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the “bull fighter” is not in good sports. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Clause talking about a maximum of two terms is essential. Let us not curtail people too much. It does not have to be that when you have served for two terms, you are automatically supposed to be elected. As we said, it should be competitive. Lastly, if you read the history and books, particularly where we have seen the emergence of female leaders, you will find that they are not curtailed. They just emerge and automatically find themselves performing quite well. So, we need to encourage our sisters that it is their time. I support. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join you in recognizing the students who are seated at the public gallery. They are from my university. I was a lecturer there on a sabbatical leave now. Egerton is a very renowned university. It is the only university with a distinction, North of River Limpopo and south of Sahara. I did my two degrees there. The students there might end up in all spheres of life, politics being one of them. I congratulate the students and urge them to be role models in our counties and country. They should ... view
