We have just seen that CS Matiang’i has given results--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, like now, we have seen one leader who is one of the authors of this ill Bill trying to harass a certain community from their area and these are the places where if you put manual registers the ghost voters will be the ones chased away. I, therefore, object and say that digital or electronic backup is the way to go and we should not be taken back and just pass unconstitutional Bills because we are in a hurry. I oppose. view

• 23 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank my colleagues who have contributed and supported this Motion. We, as a Committee, appreciates that infrastructure is very important because it opens up many opportunities for our people. Definitely, an effective infrastructure will help us to improve our economic and social status. The Government is currently implementing devolution as it is anchored in the Constitution.

For example, we have ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to comment on this Motion. I wish to commend the team that went to the IPU Conference. This is a good practice and we should encourage it.

I am happy that the team that went took leadership positions. They were not there for joyride but they became active and participated properly. The forum ... view
• 8 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to ride on the same statement. I would like the Chairman to ask the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to tell us the precautions or measures they have taken to protect not only the women but most of the aspirants.

Could they find out who those people are and what measures have been put in place? view
