• 14 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. I requested the Statement on the issue of the floods in Nairobi County but it has not been designated to the Committee. In as much as the Chair might not be there or any other Member, could it, for the record of the House, be designated to the Committee? An undertaking can also be given by the Majority Leader on when we can have a response. view

• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. This Committee has a special mandate beyond what is in the standing orders. The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act mandates this particular Committee in charge of equalization to receive a report every six months from the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) on compliance by county and national governments on the 30 per cent rule for procurement for youth, women and Persons with disability. That is not being adhered to across the country. Very few governors are giving young people, women and persons with disability contracts. I would like to request the Committee to go ... view

• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember that when this Statement was sought by Sen. Kasanga, we rode on it and further questions were asked, specifically on NHC houses in Majengo, Kamukunji Constituency, Nairobi County and the attempted eviction of my constituents. Were those riders transmitted as a question or they were for our own consumption? I have heard nothing about that being mentioned in this response. view
• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last week, I raised a concern that many of our young people who visit us in Senate, unlike what used to happen in the past, they are no longer being recognised. The tradition has been that we recognise the school or institution. If time allows, we even say something to them. Has that changed? In fact, last week, a group that had gone out was sent back in. Today, there have been two schools in the Public Gallery, but none of them were recognised. That is what I want to draw to ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the Senate Minority Leader’s adherence to the Standing Orders. Standing Order No.90(4) states that; “No Senator shall impute improper motive to any other Senator or to a Member of the National Assembly except upon a specific substantive Motion of which at least three days’ notice has been given, calling in question the conduct of that Senator or Member of the Assembly” While we appreciate all references to the two banks have been withdrawn from the record, I would like to ask that the references that were made yesterday by the ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was actually on a point of order. Even as we appreciate the good teachers of Alliance Girls’ High School who do a lot in moulding the morality of our children and creating leaders of the present and the future; there is a trend we have noticed; that students from schools who visit the Public Gallery of late are not being recognized. As we have been talking about the wonderful teachers of Alliance, there were other students seated in the Public Gallery and have been let go. I would ask that they are brought back so that ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know why a Senator is protesting when others are talking. First, I support the Statement on International Women’s Day. The women of this country have made several strides over the past few years in achieving gender parity and actually having a quota in the Constitution in terms of representation. We are far ahead of many other countries, but more needs to be done. In the last Parliament, I was an honourary member of the Kenya Women Parliamentarians Association (KEWOPA) because of the support that I give to women. I hope that in this Parliament ... view
