• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I truly sympathize with the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources in this House. As Sen. Murkomen pointed out, this Committee has pending land issues. It has a lot of petitions and Statements because of the nature of land questions. Many times have I suggested that the mandate of that Committee be divided into other Committees or sub committees, but it is what it is. If the late Dedan Kimathi, the late Mau Mau fighters, Maasais and Samburus, who were fighting for independence were to rise up from the dead, they would tell you that we ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is public land. Are these Samburu people not the public? Are they not Kenyans? Why is it that the people of Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe are considered by others as second class citizens, and we give preferential treatment to other sections of our society? If we are serious about this--- I can see the prayers by Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe’s people about titles, compensation and historical wrongdoings. There is an entire report, the Ndung’u Land Report, that talks about this area. I do not know what Sen. Githiomi will do about that. It is not that I lack ... view

• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Orengo has been the Minister for Lands, and the issue he was talking about has been there and will be there. The next Senator for Samburu will bring this again. The next one will also bring it again. Therefore, let us deal with other issues. I would rather that this Committee helps me with the issue of Martin Luther Primary School in Makadara, which I brought yesterday, and other matters that can be sorted out quickly, and not in a report that has already been passed by this House. We commiserate with Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe and ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to follow what Sen. Wetangula has said. The discussion of this debt, which is at Kshs7.4 trillion and now 69 per cent of the view

• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Gross Domestic Product (GDP), is not a matter that the Senators from this side need to be encouraged to attend. Rest assured that we are as concerned as the Senators on the other side of the House. We shall come and debate it. That should not have been left unchallenged. We do not need encouragement, we are here. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Farhiya’s statement is very strange that we should support the candidate who has a woman running mate instead of saying we should support a woman candidate for president. Anyway, that notwithstanding, I truly support this Statement on International Day of the Girl Child in as much as it has come late. I truly support all efforts that have come to this House to equalize opportunities for both our boys and girls. As a father of both boys and girls, I support this Statement and this position. I really want to follow up on what Sen. Wetangula ... view

• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: charged. You cannot be in a police cell for all this time after making a confession. People have been charged for much less, especially on political issues. However, this man has confessed that he has killed 14 children and yet he is still in a cell in Jogoo Road. The parents of these children many of whom are from Nairobi demand justice. As a Member of that Committee, I will ask our chairperson to summon the DCI and the DPP for us to know where in the criminal justice chain this has fallen off. Is that the DCI has not ... view
