• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while you were consulting with the “King of Meru” the good professor is misleading the nation by saying that the women of Kenya are forcing matters which are in the Constitution. Is he in order to mislead the nation that these rights are coming to this House in the wrong way, whereas it is a constitutional requirement that we realign our Constitution which was voted for? view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: I am most obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I rise to contribute, there is an issue which I did not want to delve into. First, I have to congratulate the Mover of this Bill, my learned friend, Sen. Sijeny, for coming up with what she is entitled to do as a legislator. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we passed the 2010 Constitution, we legislators are required to come up with several Acts and amendments to realign the 2010 Constitution to fall within the letter and spirit of the Constitution. That is what Sen. Sijeny has done. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to ride on the request by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo so that when the Chair goes to seek the answers, we need to know where the Jubilee policy of free secondary has reached, considering the fact that the Kibaki Regime gave assurances and started a policy of Free Primary Education (FPE) which is fairly on track. I would like that addressed as well. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also take the opportunity to welcome these young Kenyans to this eminent House. Remember that they are the leaders of today and they should not wait for tomorrow. They should copy the best examples and discard the worst examples and they will make Kenya a good country. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought the good Professor from West Pokot County would have just used his credentials to talk to the young girls.

• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, young Kenyans. Most obliged. The history that we have about facing Mt. Kenya is not all that good. Would the good Professor tell us what he means by that? view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to oppose this amendment, for the same reasons that have been proposed by the Senator from this side of the House. Most specifically, the biggest problem has been that the governors have become everything in the counties. They have not given powers to these men and women to do their duties as envisaged in the County Governments Act. For instance, you have heard that the ward administrators have powers to formulate policies. They have not been mandated to do that. The people to be blamed for this are the governors and not the holders ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to reiterate the sentiments of my colleagues; that the matter that has been raised by the Deputy Speaker is very serious. I sit in the CPAIC which deals with cases of corruption. I will not name names, but I have seen two governors appearing before the Committee while armed. I raised the issue with the Serjeant-at-Arms. I have also seen bodyguards escorting governors while armed. I thank our Serjeant-at-Arms because they have dealt with these situations. I believe that Parliament has men and women, who are fairly trained in the military and police, to take ... view
• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I commend the efforts of my good friend, Sen. Wamatangi of Kiambu County for coming up with this initiative.
