• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to second this Motion. I wish to applaud our team which has always made us proud especially in the athletics. It is important now that we have devolved some of these functions that our governors and ourselves put a lot of effort in improving the stadia around the counties. It is also important as somebody who has dealt with athletes that we nurture talents of our youth in terms of training for investments and education. Also, I do not agree with those people who are arguing that our athletes who defect ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, I want to concur with the sentiments of Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Otieno Kajwang. This clause, as it is, in terms of collection of public views is ambiguous. Unless and until we get a remedy to this through legislation, this does not augur well. If you look at the systems which have been used by assemblies with regard to public participation, we must have a procedure where we have a mode of collecting views. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I also support this amendment and it is important to understand that we have grounds on why the headquarters should be moved. I am happy that the Senator for Laikipia consulted with his people. In the county of Nyamira where I come from, I have read in the newspapers that the Governor wants to move the county headquarters without following the due process. It must be made very clear that to move a county headquarters, there are rules and procedures which must be followed. I support. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment by my good friend, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. If we are only talking about issues of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) giving recommendations and yet we cannot give them more powers, then we are usurping our own powers. We are stifling the county assemblies and the county executive. Unless there is a further amendment on this, I strongly oppose the amendment. view

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.45(2)(b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the status of compensation for internally displaced persons in Nyamira County as a result of the 2007/2008 post-election violence. In the statement, I would like the Chairperson to address the following issues: (i) Is the Chairperson aware that various persons from Nyamira County including businessmen, farmers and workers were displaced as a result of the violence, and if so, if he can list the IDPs? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations in order to tell us that she was just given a statement to walk with it to the Senate if they are really serious?
