• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I note that the Bill was first introduced to the Senate in 2014 and that is why it is called “Senate Bill No.1 of 2014.” If you look at the dates, after it was introduced in this House it went to the National Assembly and was rejected on 6th August, 2015; more than a year later. It is now here today after mediation. After we have discussed the Bill it will go back to the National Assembly. This critical Bill was supposed to be transacted in this House for ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am worried about the rate at which we transact and deal with Bills. Our colleagues in the “Lower House” have mishandled some of the Bills. By the time they are enacted into law a lot of damage will have been done. I do not know what will happen in some county headquarters where, as I have said, all the space is occupied by buildings. We now have 47 headquarters for the county governments. Ideally, these headquarters should be designated as cities. How long will it take us to upgrade these headquarters to cities? We should ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in recognizing that this is your first time on the “big seat” in the House. I wish you well as you discharge your duties. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my eyes have seen you today and I am happy. I congratulate my colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., for bringing the County Outdoor Advertising Control Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2015). Although this Bill is late, it is better late than never. I say this because some of our county headquarters, towns, shops and roads are saturated with a lot of advertisements, particularly billboards that have been put up haphazardly in some areas. This Bill, therefore, will control outdoor advertisement and protect the environment in the counties. As you enter some towns and cities like Nakuru, ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my neighbour and leader is excited over nothing. I am explaining and you have to get what I am saying. He is very good at doing that himself. I do not know why he has raised the issue when he is very good at expressing himself using his fingers. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whatever my fingers were doing came from the heart. It is normal for that to happen when you want to express a point. You also know that I am a teacher. I was saying that in some airports, for example, Amsterdam, many planes land per day. Suppose all airlines were allowed to erect billboards, it will be impossible to get space. Therefore, it is good to manage advertisement by putting in place a system that can control and manage the information that is shared. Kenya is a religious nation of Christians and Muslims. New churches are ... view

• 16 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in saying that this Constitution is very clear. Everybody has a copy. In fact, we found them in our pigeon holes. I suppose the same applies to the pigeon hole for the Speaker of the National Assembly. It defeats logic that we have been given the story that you have just The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view

• 11 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. Sen. Sang has shown distinguished leadership in this House. I am hoping that as he comes to join the panel, he will serve with dedication and zeal the way he has always done. Further, just as the way Sen. Murkomen dedicated himself, I hope he steps in his shoes. I am sure that he is capable of doing it. I thank Sen. Murkomen for the service he showed in the panel. I support. view
