• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are his own conclusions. He is too much ahead of me because that is not my thought. I am only stating what has happened in this country. We have had brutal killings and attacks by the police in the past and we should be so loud and caring. That is all I am saying. It is me today and you tomorrow. Therefore, nobody should come out thinking that at the end, we are happy that anybody was hurt. So, can we stop it once and for all and speak as loudly as possible at all times? ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Bill. I thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Sakaja for co-sponsoring it. Of course, it is long overdue, considering what we have gone through as a Senate in the recent happenings in the debate in the National Assembly about which Bills should be in the Senate, which ones are money Bills and which ones should be in the National Assembly. This is also crucial considering that last week, we were all lamenting about our Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader being in a function where they ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: the Bill that was assented to by the President was a Bill on health, which is a devolved function and should have been handled by the Senate. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: This Bill is an answer to the problems that we have had with regard to the handling of Bills and the nature of their determinations by our Speakers. It is sad that we have come to an extent of doing a Bill to sort ourselves out. For a long time, we have wondered whether our two Speakers, according to the constitutional provisions, sit down to concur and agree on which Bill should go to the Senate or the National Assembly. If they have been sitting to get concurrence, it means that we have not felt that being implemented and the ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to contribute to this very important debate. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the name that was given to this Commission – the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission – and the Report itself speaks for itself. Here we are talking about the truth about ourselves, as Kenyans. What did we do to each other? How did we harm each other? Where did we go wrong, as a country, against each other? We need that truth to come out if we are serious about taking this country forward. We must also talk about justice. Justice for who and against who? It is justice for this country for those who were wronged ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the person sitting on the TJRC Report is the enemy number one for this country. If we are serious, then we would want to stay on truth path. We would want to have justice for each other and live in harmony in this country. If we care about our cohesiveness, we should then go down in history as having implemented to the letter what the TJRC came up with. 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
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the commission‘s name also contains the word ―reconciliation.‖ We need to reconcile ourselves, as a nation. Once we forgive each other, then we will live together and work together for the sake of this country. However, if we just shelve the decisions and recommendations that had been arrived at in this Report and nobody bothers to implement them, then it means that we do not care about our future. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is Report is connected to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). We are out to build bridges for this country and we must say sorry to each other. We should bring this together with the BBI and have the Committee look at it. We will then pick out the recommendations and link them to the BBI. This is the only way we will take this country forward. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Report needs urgent attention in view of the mood in the country because of the BBI. We need to come up with a permanent solution, once and for all. view
