• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairperson saying that there were no women who showed interest whatsoever in these positions? Lastly, I think he put it correctly that TA and the Senate should look at how to make the Act more accommodative. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the clarification which I want to seek is whether there is a different procedure contrary to what is written in the 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
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Vice- Chair for the answer to the supplementary question. However, in the answer, she is specifically talking about a special District Officer (DO). This House needs to know that a special DO was assigned to do patrols at the border between Pokot and Turkana counties. But it is wrong for the Vice-Chair to state that there is a vehicle that is shared between the DO and the Administration Police. I was there for three days, from Saturday until yesterday, and saw that the DO is in dire need of a vehicle. ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in thanking the Rt. Hon. President of the Senate of Rwanda, whose name is longer than mine. I thought mine was the longest. His name is Ntawukuliryayo. The Address by the President of the Senate of Rwanda brought a lot of commendations and greetings to our country. He indicated to us how close the people of Rwanda are to us. He also reminded us of the long lasting friendship and co-operation that has existed between our two nations. Therefore, it was good that we heard how they regard us highly ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I mentioned that due to long delays, the Rwandan Government decided to do a thorough research as to what causes the delay. Therefore, they assigned an officer to sit in the lorry. They counted the number of roadblocks which then were behaving like toll stations because one would delay for a long time. I am told that the behaviour has been reduced to the extent that goods can move by road from Mombasa to their destination in a fairly shorter time. I am aware that there is this new initiative to build a railway all the ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Yes, I withdraw the word “fellow” and say these are the people we call wazee wa mtaa in Kiswahili. In English, these are elders who have been identified to be in charge of a group of people and now we call them the head of view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: I asked whether that happens even when the President comes and they told me yes. They told me that even the head of state cannot address any meeting in a village until the meeting is opened by that fellow, whether educated or not. This really touched me and I realized why things have been managed in some of these countries like Rwanda and Uganda. The level of security awareness is very high because the people on the ground in the villages are the ones who run and man the show. They even had to call Kampala to inform them that ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I just want to bring some information forward. I think Sen. Muthama is out of order to talk about issues that are not before us. If he has any issues to raise, he should do so through a substantive Motion for us to debate. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, although Sen. Khalwale is right to raise any query here, it would be in order to know that most of these projects started sometime ago before this Government came into place. I was a Permanent Secretary and so, I know. But he is in order to ask – just as I am going to ask – when the other regions are going to be considered. view
