• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: our children frequent. I will not say I know them but they might fit such a profile of being well off. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Nothing takes away the future and dignity of our young persons than drug abuse. Sen. Madzayo will tell you this because we went with him to a methadone centre in Kwale County which is supposed to be a centre where young people can be rehabilitated. Monies allocated to that centre have never been applied to it. The donors gave their portion but the county is not doing its part. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: If you go to Mwembe Tayari and Kongowea in Mombasa, you will see young people who are just like zombies. What Kenya do we expect to have tomorrow if we allow drugs to continue being peddled? We must demand for answers as a House. If the IG nominee is approved – I am using “if” because it is not automatic; this House might decline his appointment, going against the very wise proposals of my Committee – please Members, let us take the fight against drugs seriously as a country. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: The peddlers of drugs in this country are known and they walk around with pomp, pageantry and impunity. Some of them might be in political offices or high-end businesses and some of them might be fraternizing with the leadership in this country. You might think it is okay because you assume that your child is okay. Tomorrow it might be your child who will be in that addiction. Even if your friend is involved in drugs and sells them to our children, please stand up because tomorrow it might be your child. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: We asked the nominee about the issue of welfare of our officers. As a country, we cannot stand proudly without our armed officers. We have men and women who everyday put their lives on the line, living in situations that are way below their dignity. Our police officers do so much for us. The ones who are involved in extrajudicial killings are few. It is just that the impact of what they do is big but the ones who do a good job are many and they are the majority. We told the IG nominee to reconsider and rethink the ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: I know I have a lot more time to go but I will not use it all. I urge this House; based on the centrality of the Senate in dealing with security issues – in fact, this was just an example to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) who said that the Senate does not deal with security matters. Why has the law said that we must vet the Inspector General (IG)? Why The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: should we vet the IG if we are not to be involved in national security? Article 125 of the Constitution is clear. If we had no role to play, then we would not be participating in vetting the IG. We want to change the relationship of this House with the security establishment in this country. I would urge the House to approve the nomination of Mr. Mutyambai and to join our Committee and this House in its entirety to oversight security, so that security can truly change from being a force to being a service that is being offered to ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: I beg to move and ask Sen. Pareno, who is a Member of the Committee and was present at the vetting, to second this Report. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already given my submissions on the Motion. However, on behalf of my colleagues, I welcome the students from Nairobi City County to the Senate. We are glad that they are able to witness the debate in the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Senate. I am sure that that they have seen their own Senator. They call me ‘super’ Senator. However, you said that I cannot use that on the Floor of the House as we debate. I encourage them to remain diligent in their education. I hope that I will get a chance to visit them in their school one of these days just to keep them motivated and dream that one day they will hold important trusts in this Republic. view
