• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am concerned because my brother, Sen. Cherargei, had an accident which I hope did not affect faculties in his brain. I am concerned that he may not be knowing my name. Is there a way when a Member has such an accident to clarify the aptitude that he is back? I am concerned that he will start calling us all manner of names. Sen. Cherargei, it is good to see you back. I recently saw a cartoon of you in one of the dailies where I had held you as a ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to inform Sen. Were and the House that, indeed, because I think that there is lack of clarity, and if Kenyans are listening, they might think that I am a very lazy Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. I resigned months ago, not for any bad reasons, but because I like being effective. I am the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Services and Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve will tell you that I am very effective in both the Committee on Labour and ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that the question raised is important because the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations is extremely sensitive and important. Of all the Statements that have come to this House, maybe 40 to 50 per cent are for that Committee. We know that the Chairperson of that Committee, Sen. Haji, is quite busy with the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). I would like to urge, because I can see the leadership here - Sen. Farhiya and Sen. Dullo – that they need to ensure that they get another Vice Chairperson who is as serious as ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Sen. Mwaruma will tell you that we went to Taita-Taveta on our own to sort out issues, although they recurred. I have gone to Isiolo and done like 10 county visits on security. If you cannot get another Vice Chairperson, take me back there. I will not be the Vice Chairperson, but will help for the sake of our country. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I want to assure the Members that I have listened to all their concerns including the concern of Sen. Cheruiyot despite the brief interruption by my delegation Member, Sen. Omanga. The interruption was a very welcomed disruption because of the current issues in Nairobi City County. I want to thank Sen. Mwaruma for raising this issue. It is indeed an important issue and it is what we are dealing with as a Committee. We will share a schedule, with this House, of counties that we intend to visit though we cannot go to all the ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Naomi Shiyonga has brought in an important Statement and that is why I raised the issue of the Committee that we reflect on these issues. The National Police Service changed from the National Police Force, meaning that it should be about “ Utumishi kwa wote ”. The Inspector General has really been trying to reform the police and we must give him accolades, starting with the former, Boinet and now Mutyambai. In fact, yesterday he was online talking to Kenyans about the issues there. There are a few rotten elements within the police force ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: When that incident happened, I brought the Statement to this House. After that, I spoke to the Inspector General of Police. He gave me his chief protocol officer. I went to Kiamaiko with the IG’s officers with support from the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to sit with the community and to say pole. At least, they gave something just to say pole to the family, but I told them that boy will never come back because of one rogue officer. Today, I am happy that Patrick Ndiema has been charged in court with murder. We have ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: ( Sen. Poghisio walked into the Chamber ) view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, we have a schedule of the counties that we intend to visit despite the challenge but I want to assure the Members that given the fact that the Committee has a six-month mandate, we should be able to cover all the counties. We will respond to the specific questions on Taita Taveta but as we do that, those who have been following our work know that this Committee has given seven progress reports, as of today. In our Third or Fourth Progress Report, this House resolved that every county government and the national Government will give us ... view
