• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, the CS came here and confessed that they have Kshs180 million for infrastructure. When such an emergency arises, it would be as easy as what the Chairman has actually indicated. The Chairman would quickly take this serious matter that the House has agreed upon and go and allocate a little money to restore the schools. Alternatively, they could divide the Kshs180 million among the 47 counties. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Chairperson for the detailed answer she has given to the effect that the bandits were repulsed and animals returned. However, many a times when cattle-rustling takes place there, I and Sen. Munyes, have always asked about the problems we have at the border and the quick answer the Government gives is that the Pokot and Turkana are competing for pasture and water. I want to say here that these conflicts have nothing to do with resources. Could they give us the true picture that we are asking for? We want ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Further, to sort out this issue, can the Committee kindly visit this area so that we can show you where the active points are so that you can station your officers there? This way, the bandits can be removed. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Vice Chairperson for the detailed and comprehensive answer to the Statement I sought. But in as much as he has tried to give the facts and the details, he has not satisfied me. I am concerned that the people in my county have been unable to take their children to school for failure to sell their livestock. The people of West Pokot primarily depend on cows, sheep and goats for their day to day survival. It is now two months down the line and the Chairperson is still giving an ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Vice Chairperson is evading answering the question. Right now, he has no problem in Trans-Nzoia, because the Government has subsidized fertilizer from Kshs3,500 to Kshs1,800. So, he is so comfortable because he has been assisted, but I am not comfortable. Even my neighbours - Turkana and Baringo counties - are in the same scenario. Could he further clarify when the people of my county will be assisted with this subsidy of fees payment the way he has been assisted in terms of provision of cheap fertilizers? view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was equally shocked when I read that pronouncement from somebody who is responsible and who is trying to incite Kenyans. Hon. Senators should have realized that any time that House has problems and black smoke begins to come out, they always divert attention by shouting “Senate”.

• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that we lead Kenyans as per the mandate we were given. To mislead Kenyans is an offence and that person must take responsibility. Thank you. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is strange that we are discussing about Mandera again when we talked about it last year. I was told that from Lamu to El Wak, we are covered by our KDF who are in Somalia. However, between El Wak and Mandera, this is a porous area. This is an area where we are being The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in congratulating and thanking Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o for being keen enough to know what is taking place outside Kenya, that has a lot of significance and impact in the lives of Kenyans. Prof. Micere Mugo would easily not be recognized at home, just as many have been forgotten. But what a pity for us that bells are ringing outside Kenya in celebrating a Kenyan while here, we are not doing so. It is a challenge to us that we need to be keen to know what Kenyans have done ... view
