• 6 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate that statement from Sen. Kwamboka who is part of the Nairobi City County Delegation. The City County of Nairobi is one of the most affected by this collapsing of buildings. We have lost very many lives over the years in the city. As we mentioned yesterday, it is just a sign of impunity and corruption. A few years ago we lost 40 people in a building collapse that was seven stories high and had been put up in five months. It was extremely painful hearing the harrowing stories when we were there. ... view
• 5 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank Sen. Kihika for bringing this Motion to the House, touching on the issues of Solai Dam. I want to accept my nomination as a Member to the proposed Select Committee to investigate the circumstances that led to the Solai Dam tragedy. I do not know why Sen. Susan Kihika thought that I should support her in this work. Immediately after this tragedy happened, my able Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations led and his team swung into action. That team was the team was led ... view

• 5 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the good Senator, Sen. Malalah who, it has been reported to me also calls himself “Super Senator” in Kakamega County, should know that he can be an additional member of the Committee if he wants. He does not gain by removing the real “Super Senator” from the Committee. In as much as we may look alike, we can both serve in the Committee. view
• 5 Jun 2018 in Senate: Bw. Naibu Spika, nina hoja ya nidhamu. Umempongeza Sen. Kinyua kwa kutumia misemo ya Kiswahili lakini ile aliyomalizia sio msemo wa Kiswahili. Ni msemo wa Kiingereza ambao ametafsiri na akasema ni Mswahili alisema. Naomba atueleze ni Mswahili yupi aliyesema ama Wahenga walionena kwa sababu hiyo ni kwa Kiingereza wanasema; prevention is better than cure wala sio ni bora kuzuia kuliko kutibu. view

• 5 Jun 2018 in Senate: Bw. Naibu Spika, nilikuwa na hoja ya nidhamu wakati Sen. Khaniri alikuwa anazungumza lakini nakubaliana na vile ulisema. Wahenga walisema kupanda mchongoma, kushuka ndio ngoma. Alipoanza alikuwa na ari ya kuzungumza Kiswahili lakini akapata hitilafu baadaye. Kiswahili kinafaa kutukuzwa na Wakenya wamefurahia kwa sababu amejaribu. Naomba tutenge siku moja kwa wiki iwe siku ya Kiswahili ili Maseneta wote wajaribu kupata umaarufu wa kuzungumza Kiswahili. view

• 5 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me stick to the contents of the Bill. The Bill was read the first time in the Senate on 6th August, 2014. However, the Bill was lost during the second reading on 28th July, 2015. Consequently, the Senate Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare in the Eleventh Parliament embarked on a process of coming up with a new Bill for introduction in the Senate as per the recommendations of the Intelligence Technical Committee. This Committee had all the stakeholders involved. I will request that we attach that to the report that is being circulated. All ... view
• 5 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to assure Members, because I have seen that their faces have dropped, that I will not take all that time, especially as the Mover of the Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Bill provides for the membership of the Scheme without a sponsor, the vesting of benefits and withdrawal from the retirement savings account and retirement from the service, among others. It also sets out the prohibited payments from the Scheme. Clause 22(2)(a) provides that- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
