• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support the Universities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.31 of 2014) which was brought here by my sister, Sen. Mohamud who is also a beneficiary of university education. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the essence of this Bill is to help the CUE be compliant with the requirements of the Constitution and the resolutions that have been passed by this Senate. Since our role is to defend devolution, there will be many amendments to Acts which will be brought here, so that we realign them. This amendment will assist ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issues raised in the petition from Busia County are cross-cutting. Most counties have flouted the fundamentals in the Constitution, especially that of public participation. This is because of the fact that the county executives are the exchequer for the county assemblies, thereby; the Members of County Assembly (MCA) who support those executives become an appendage. They take those MCAs to some hotel outside the county and pass very frivolous budget estimates. When giving your directions, it is important that this House and the relevant Committee take appropriate actions to arrest this kind of situation. view

• 23 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me from the outset support this Motion. Some of us have been captured on the HANSARD talking about issues of the Senate.

As it is written in the book of Matthew: “Do unto others what you expect them to do ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a bit confused regarding the Order Paper. I heard Sen. Sang asking the Speaker to leave the Chair and then from the Clerk’s Table we were taken to Statements. From there I have seen Sen. Sijeny and--- view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support this Petition, my appeal would be to the county governments not to do the same things they are doing at the moment. It would be prudent that those who have not appended their signatures to the agreement to lease those medical equipment, they should also procure theirs and then we shall compare. The Senate is capable of assessing prudency in procurement. I support. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also support the petitioners from Mandera. As my colleagues have said, I appeal to other citizens who feel aggrieved in the management of their resources to come to this House, which, as provided by law, deals with such issues. Sometimes when we raise some of these matters when we are doing our oversight, it is mistaken that we are playing fitina fitina kidogo in the counties. I appeal to the view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I thought you put it very clearly from where you are sitting and gave directions. I do not understand why Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is coming back to what you have ruled on. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you just mentioned clearly that you heard what the Senator for Kisumu mentioned.You said you would have issued some penalties had it not been that you understand that sometimes professors get confused. To that extent, I understood that you rested that case. view
