• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will stop mentioning names. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is because of the numerous points of order. I will finish in the next one or two minutes. Consent to treatment is a very important issue. I am sorry I used Sen. Mwaura who I have no doubt about the soundness of his mind in most occasions. The consent to treatment is important because many people have used it to disenfranchise people who are of sound mind by ganging up and saying: “This person is unwell and his is locked up.” Finally, let us stop this idea of when you see a person with mental illness, ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hate to interrupt Sen. M. Kajwang,’ who went to a good school called ‘The Duke of York School’. However, what he is saying is heavily loaded. He is talking about a place many of us call home.

Is he saying that it increases comparatively or it is a problem in Western Kenya? Could he be clear? view

• 29 May 2019 in Senate: This is a report by the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on the consideration of the Petition on insecurity caused by camel herders in Teri B Ranch, Taita Taveta County. My Committee visited the area and came up with this report. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is in order. Sen. Mwaruma can confirm that I personally went to meet the residents of Teri B Ranch. I interacted with the people there and heard their issues. I have stayed in touch with the new county police boss and our recommendations are far-reaching. Once these recommendations are adopted by the House, they will no longer be just an opinion of the Committee but a resolution of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya not just on Taita-Taveta County but all the areas that are faced with the issues of ranchers versus the herders and ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I noticed a bit of commotion when I walked in with this sash that has real gold. view
