• 26 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this timely Motion brought by Sen. Billow. There is this monster called terrorism. It is tearing our country apart. It is also tearing the whole world apart. It is a pity that it seems to have found a soft landing place in our country. Many parts of the country have suffered. Innocent Kenyans have been invaded; they have lost lives and property. Most Kenyans are now confused as we have seen in Mandera and they do not know what to do next. They have packed their ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. First and foremost, I wish to sincerely convey my heartfelt condolences to the late Sen. Gerald Otieno Kajwang’s family and friends. I received this message at around 6.00 a.m. This is because towards 12.00 a.m., I started receiving text messages and thought that they were the usual Safaricom messages. I was wondering why they were harassing me or which clients of mine they were. In the morning, I received a message from my brother, who is it at home in Siaya, saying:- “Poleni sana for losing Sen. Kajwang.” I ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: No, do I have to respond in Swahili? view
• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was of the opinion that the last time we talked, we were to have a retreat and that is what we have been pursuing with the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure. The Senators who attended the Committee meeting requested for that and the Cabinet Secretary agreed. All the other issues were supposed to be articulated during the meeting. However, if the Senator requires an answer before that, because we are working on a date and I have been following it up, I would request for at least one week because I know a few Committee ... view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, indeed, all these concerns that have been raised now were raised yesterday apart from the additional part that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has brought regarding the requirement of a report. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I request that they be given, at least one month so that they come up with a comprehensive report the way it is expected since this will involve many departments. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, two weeks is short for the kind of report that they want. One month is quite reasonable unless they want me to come again and ask for more time. view
• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I heard Sen. Wamatangi correctly, he says we need to go to the ground and ascertain or evaluate the situation. I think we can do it within two weeks. He is a member of our committee. I am sure he will facilitate that and we can report back to the Senate after two weeks. We are also meeting the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. We did not succeed last time, but we are going to do so this week. I am sure that we will get all the response within two weeks. view
• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in as much as I have said that within two weeks, it does not necessarily mean that we will wait for two weeks. We can facilitate even earlier than that. We can be practical. We need to--- view
