Kiswahili language has a rich history. Since it originated in Zanzibar, we could take advantage of the East African Community (EAC) institution called the Swahili Commission. This institution is domiciled in Zanzibar. This Commission was basically brought up by the EAC integration processes to ensure that Kiswahili is rooted in our partner States. We have, probably realised we, as a country, did a mistake by not embracing Kiswahili language like Tanzania. Burundi and Rwanda and other States are now learning Kiswahili language. Kiswahili language is so advanced in Tanzania. In fact, when you go there, utaona Taasisi za Wizara fulani ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving this opportunity to also support this Motion of Adjournment. This Motion would not have come at a better time because, from our last engagements with county assemblies, it begged for more time with them. When we had the Kenya Inter-county Sports Association and Cultural Association (KIKOSCA) games in Machakos we were wearing our T-shirts printed The Senate. At several points, we were asked which Senate it was. I was taken aback because I only know of one Senate in this country. I wondered whether this meant that our MCAs do not appreciate the ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not think we have anything by the name of “National Resistance Brigade”. I want to inform my sister that we never had something like that which disrupted the business of this House. It is a right to participate or not. What disrupted the business of this House - if at all - was our own resistance movement which was called the National Resistance Movement and not “National Resistance Brigade”.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I thank the delegation for a job well done. They came back with a good report to the House, at least to tell us what this forum is all about. We are happy to learn that this forum was purposely created to give women in political leadership room to ventilate on the issues that affect them. They went ahead to acknowledge many women leaders around the world and honoured them in a beautiful way. To me, that forum was more of role modeling because important leaders were called and honoured ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to celebrate my nomination to the Speaker’s Panel in style by talking about the pertinent issue of resource allocation to our counties. First, I thank the Speaker and leaders from both the Majority and Minority sides for resoundingly approving that I sit in the Speaker’s Panel. I am humbled by the submissions that were made as they were approving. I promise that I will live up to the expectations of total commitment to duty at all times. I thank you and the House for the approval. Coming to the ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to condole with Sen. Kihika and the families that have been affected in Nakuru County. I take this opportunity to also thank the Government for moving very first to give a fund. As a Committee, we were already told that the fund for settling these people is there. However, as a Committee we had requested that we continue with the search. By the time the Committee was visiting, they were told that the search had slowed down, yet we still had people who were missing and suffering families. We have appealed ...
