• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am seeking further clarification. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if you go to Kipini and you see the amount of fresh water that is flowing into the Indian Ocean, you will want to cry. We want the Ministry to tell us what they are doing to harvest the huge amounts of fresh water flowing into the Indian Ocean through Kipini. Tana River alone has a conflict between the farmers and the herders – I was there myself when I chaired the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity in the National Assembly – yet the water is going into the Indian Ocean. We also need clarification ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to plead with the Clerk’s Office. We are really being mistreated, as Chairpersons of Committees, because when we come to give responses, we find 30 responses on the Order Paper. We, therefore, sit until 5 o’clock only to be told that the responses will be given next week. We have been walking around this Parliament with files upon files of answers to questions. Can we, at least, be scheduling and know that, for example today, there will only be four or five responses? We cannot go from Statement (a) to (z); to (aa), (bb), (cc) ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take the cue from where Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has left off by quoting the Bible in the book of Genesis 11:6, the Lord says; “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.” That one language includes having one flag. I will quote Sen. Pauline Hanson of Australia who says that:- “To survive in peace and harmony, united and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag.” I am very proud today to second this ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I went to that very prominent--- view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not see many people who can challenge that statement. They did not go to the Duke of York School, Lenana School. I am very glad that Amb. Kimani is now leading this reconciliation process together with Lawyer Paul Mwangi. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not use my entire provision of time though I still have five minutes left. I will not use all of it. This matter is very close to my heart. The first time I left this country was not when I was very young. I first left this country in my twenties and went to The Hague in Netherlands to support Uhuru Kenyatta who had a case at that time. It was my first time out of Kenya. I had never travelled out of this country. I am glad and proud that that was my ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just very quickly, I thank the Petitioners, especially, the immediate former Senator for Kajiado, Sen., Mositet, for still engaging with this House on such matters. In as much as we also have similar concerns in Nairobi County, I just want to stress on the issue of standardisation and a standard for compensation. Only yesterday, close to 200 households of my residents in Imara Daima in a place called Riara Village were evicted rightfully because they were under the Kenya Power and Lightning Company (KPLC) electricity lines. I agree that they should not have been there ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just for clarity, is the Report being tabled or discussed? view
