• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am happy that this Bill will ensure peace building where we will have early warnings when people think that conflict is likely to arise. It also proposes mechanisms for detecting any problems. Conflict will be prevented when we have this Bill in place. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: I am happy that in this country, cohesiveness is insisted on before we experience any conflict. Having this Bill in place is one of the measures that will ensure that we foresee and prevent any conflict, unlike what happened in our partner State where they had to come up with laws and mechanisms on integration and cohesion after people had suffered. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Something disturbed me when I was preparing to move this Bill. That is a clip of an MP talking loud and clear. If I may use the words that he used, he said; “Some people do not know how to fight. Some just throw stones and then their fight ends there. For us, we can sustain war.” Such people do not understand what war is all about. Maybe they should visit some of the genocide memorials to be educated, so that they can always think twice before they pronounce such words. I kept waiting to see whether any tangible action ... view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) was not in place at that particular time because I remember we discussed as the National Cohesion Committee. Its term had lapsed and there was only the secretariat and the procedure for selecting new commissioners was not properly understood. At that particular time, there was a case by the veteran activist, Mr. Okiya Omtatah, who challenged the mode that we used to select commissioners of the NCIC. We were faulted by the courts as a country because they said that we did not use the right procedure. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: This Bill seeks to establish a procedure for bringing commissioners to office. It was sad that the NCIC--- view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in supporting this Statement and condemning in the strongest terms possible the arrest of Sen. Malalah, hon. Gikaria, hon. Murunga and former CS, Echesa. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: I remember on Thursday before we adjourned, Sen. Malalah was so excited and planning for a very big function in Kakamega. In fact, he had a function called ‗Jobs Expo‘ which he holds yearly. I think it was the second time he was to do it. This is where our youth and many sponsors and supporters come in to help get jobs for our unemployed youth. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: When I heard that he had been arrested a day before that function, I wondered whether somebody somewhere was trying to sabotage the rising star in Sen. Malalah and the good work he is trying to do. Why on that eve, yet for a whole week this Senate had been discussing the attacks in Matungu? We were all concerned and a Statement had been done. He was one of the people following up on the Statement. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, be it Sen. Malalah or any other Kenyan, why would you arrest somebody on a Friday and do not even bond them out, so that you do your case? You arrest somebody and put them in until Monday, only to release them by concluding that there is no charge against them. I think we are failing our citizens as a country. Being a Senator or not, nobody deserves to be put in wrongly. I encourage Sen. Malalah to sue directly for wrongful confinement so that anybody who is vicariously liable pays for what they have done to ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we should condemn today what has happened to Sen. Malalah and say we obey the rule of the law. We have kept screaming and talking loudly as opposition about the rule of the law in this country. We were mistreated towards 2017 general elections. People were brutally, maimed and others killed by the police. However, there was so much loud silence from a lot of quarters. Therefore, we should not only come and speak when we are on the receiving end as Senators or any other person. This is because at the end of the day, the ... view
