• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join you in welcoming our counterparts of the Committee on Delegated Legislation from the county assemblies. We met and we had a very fruitful deliberation. They have learnt a lot from us. We too have learnt from them. I can assure the Senate that this is a very competent and hardworking lot. We stand to gain a lot. I am sure the people they represent are happy with their work. What we have learnt mostly is that we need to collaborate and meet more often. We should also look for resources to give ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity and Sen. Adan for donating your precious time to me and more so, for bringing this Motion. This is well thought and thank God it had to come from a woman. This means you have really thought and emphathised with the situation of our fellow citizens who find themselves on the wrong side of the law and some quarters which are probably unfamiliar. I have had the opportunity to visit a few prisons especially when the Vice President and our party leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, was in charge of prisons ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the court cannot rule then, a date was given where they were going to be given a hearing. I did not follow up, the court needed to interrogate why they did not want to go free. At times, prisoners will always say that they are not sure of their security and et cetera. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to thank you for the cooperation that we are getting from the National Assembly. My only concern is that there is an issue of gender in the membership of the Committee. It would be more appropriate if a lady would be selected. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also congratulate the Senator who has brought this Petition. I urge the Committee to pay special attention to women because women have very unique issues and Sen. M. Kajwang has mentioned that. For the few that I have interacted with, you will find that their parents were born and brought up here in Nairobi and they have never regularised their documentation. They are also married to young men of Nairobi who do not have proper identification. When they apply for identification (ID) cards, they are required to have affidavits, their fathers ID cards and other ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to join you to welcome the visitors from Tangaza University College. I am more delighted because I can see most of them, if not all, are ladies. I know that when you educate a lady, you educate the whole nation. I know that they shall intervene in a very special manner giving it a ladies and a spiritual touch. Welcome and God bless you. view
• 6 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the Speaker’s Office is proactive, there is nothing wrong with that. We should appreciate that. view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Petition and applaud them because these Kenyans have chosen to follow the right channel; non- violent and very professional ways of solving their problems. I am sure after this Petition is determined in detail, these problems will be sorted out once and for all. The people will be given a chance to consider the challenges NEMA is experiencing, if any. This is dealing directly with wananchi or what we call “Wanjiku”. It looks at their health, economic and social status which cannot be ignored because we are pro-poverty. We are ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Land is man’s most valuable resource that wholly deals with the 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
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need to comment on the answer. Personally, I am not satisfied even though I am not the one who asked the question. It is on record that the teachers are found guilty of molesting the children sexually. The Sexual Offences Act is clear. I do not see why transfers and deregistering and re-registering should be the punishment. The TSC should take the offence more seriously. They should give more serious punishment to the offenders which should work as a deterrent. Otherwise, they will be playing around with the children and endangering their lives knowing that they ... view
