• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Wetangula came up with a Statement here relating to a very serious matter. When security is withdrawn, we have to take it seriously and address it as such. My leader, Sen. Elachi, has also mentioned a case where the deputy governor is purported to have suffered the same fate. Whether it is true or not, Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Elachi, you better stop what you are doing here. This is a serious matter. If you have that issue, raise it appropriately. I think the Speaker will assist in that because we should not lose track ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The other side of the House is empty. Are we properly constituted now as we are or we have to send some of us across? view

• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied with the response from my able colleague. I want to congratulate him because this was his first assignment and duty as the new Chair.

• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we represent the people and some officers have disobeyed orders. This issue has found its way to the Floor of the House and we have been told that there is a circular. What decree can we give having discovered that this is true? I thought that the Committee could give a decree to force them to read the circular or summon them to come here. Particularly, the speaker and clerk of West Pokot should be summoned here and we read to them this circular. It looks like they do not know how to read and write ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

It is a point that has come out clearly. I do not know how many such circulars from the national Government touch on the activity and the life of Kenyans in the law structures have been ignored. So, it is a ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank my colleague, Sen. Karaba, the Chairperson of the Committee on Education. From his figures, there is a confession by the TSC and by extension the national Government, that there is a staggering shortage of 87,000 teachers in the whole Republic. Out of which, 39,000 are in the primary section while 47,000 in the post-primary institutions. In fact, there is an acute shortage of teachers in secondary schools because we have few secondary schools than primary schools in Kenya. The TSC needs to tell us the truth. According to these figures, there is a good ... view
