• 23 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me this opportunity to second this Motion which has candidly been moved by my sister, Sen. Lesuuda. The country is experiencing intense challenges caused by urbanization which lead to high unemployment levels and poverty, among other things. In cognizant of these facts, the county governments should embark on investing in existing industries with the aim of addressing these challenges. Livestock production is one of the oldest industries in the country and there is high demand for beef products both locally and abroad. For instance, Nairobi and Mombasa have the highest per capita ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have heard my colleague, Sen. Musila, speak about rejected officers. As far as I am concerned, officers who have been working in the Public Service have been working for the Government of Kenya. Unless and until maybe he tables a document saying that these officers have been rejected from various departments, he should rather withdraw and proceed with his contribution.

• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Did you hear the Senator say “this young Senator?” I may be young but I am well versed in Government operations. On the same note, Sen. Musila has been in the Civil Service for a long time. Is he insinuating that maybe his calibre also in the civil service was wanting? When a Senator makes an allegation in this House, he should substantiate and table documents to support the same. view

• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am wondering how much time my colleague is supposed to use in contributing. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very crucial Motion brought by my friend, Sen. Elachi. I support this Motion by saying that time has come for our youth to be engaged in very constructive work. By devolving or creating outlets to counties, the youth will have meaningful work. For example, in my county of Nyamira, there is ongoing construction of Ikonge-Chabera Road. It is surprising that the youth of that area are not engaged because they may not have actual skills. If we had an outlet where there were skilled youth, they ... view

• 2 Jul 2013 in Senate: Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Ningependa kuchangia Hoja hii ambayo imeletwa na Dkt. Machage, mwenye tajiriba kuu katika udaktari. Janga hii la vijana wetu kutumia madawa ya kulevya ni kubwa sana. Hivi majuzi Rais aliamuru kwamba wale watu wote wanaohusika na biashara ya madawa ya kulevya wanafaa kuchukuliwa hatua kali. Ninamshukuru kwa msimamo wake juu ya madawa haya. Inafaa pia janga hili lichukuliwe kama la kitaifa na liidhinishwe katika sheria ili hatua zichukuliwe za kupambana nalo na kuhusisha watu wote, wakiwemo walimu, viongozi wa kisiasa na dini. Janga hili limeharibu maisha ya vijana wetu. Bw. Naibu Spika, sina mengi kwa sababu ... view
