• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on a purely procedural matter, I acknowledge that we have moved on to the use of technology in the House and that the Order Papers are on our iPads. I hope that the secretariat has noted that when they bring us a Supplementary Order Paper, it is not updated on the iPads, so we cannot follow. For instance, the matter that has been read out as Order No. 13 is Order No.12 and the County Boundaries Bill does not exist on the original Order Paper. I, therefore, ask that you direct that the Office of the Clerk ... view

• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you for this opportunity to contribute to this debate on retirement benefits.

I am sure that amongst them, we have people who are the trustees of our country’s posterity and ... view

• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. (Prof.) Ekal for bringing this issue. It is poetic and timely that on a day that the Senator for Turkana County has brought an issue regarding the security of his people, it is the same day that his Governor is busy talking about immunity for governors from corruption prosecutions. This shows you the difference in priorities. If resources were used well in Turkana County as said by Sen. Olekina, then we will not be dealing with some of the issues we are talking about today. Despite clear provisions in the Standing ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we had also proposed amendments to the Penal Code. The first amendment to the Penal Code indicates: “To redefine cattle rustling as a capital offence.” You cannot have a situation where cows are stolen, women are raped, houses are torched, people are killed and you tell people: “ Ita wazee waongee ”. It cannot work like that. We must call it as it is, a capital offence. As I finish, I want to commit that the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations is taking up this matter. Kindly allow us to follow it within ... view
