• 25 May 2021 in Senate: extrajudicial killings as long as an explanation that looks like such killing was in the best interest of the country or public good. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Any process that is not judicial is dangerous, not just for the people who have been killed, but ourselves too. As time goes, they will abduct an MP and say he was sponsoring terrorism, robbery or involved in money laundering. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure it is the Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations that will investigate this matter. They must be more serious when interrogating these issues. When Sen. Cherargei was the Chairperson of this Committee, he brought here a report concerning extrajudicial killings. This issue is still there. I remember contributing to it. Over two years ago, my Personal Assistant who worked in my office was abducted and murdered. His body was found dropped in Kapenguria forest. The same thing happened in Sen. Poghisio’s county, where three Pokot businessmen were murdered and dropped in Kaptagat ... view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Poghisio is rarely here. When he is here, he is in such a hurry. Where is he rushing to? This is a very important Chamber. In fact, I thought Sen. Poghisio was rising to add a very important question to this. Do you see the danger that is in this hurried merger of Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC) and the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA)? Kenyans have been raising very serious questions about the viability of the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) to repay its loans borrowed from China. I am glad that this question was brought by Sen. ... view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: for the more profitable corporations and merge them with a parastatal that is struggling to repay its debt. I am sure that if this Committee will do a thorough job, they will make this House proud and the people of Kenya proud. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to insist that when you give this responsibility to the relevant Committee, they must meet the timelines. That Committee must also notify the House because of the immense public interest on this matter so that as many of us as possible can participate as friends of the Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. view
• 18 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you. This is a very important Petition that touches on a very emotive subject. Promises have been made to many minority and marginalized communities whether it is the Dorobos, Elmolos of this great Republic in places like Baringo County or the Malakotes, Sanye, Watta of Lamu, Sengwers of Trans Nzoia, Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot. All these communities have been victims of colonial injustice. Most of them, the areas where they used to live were gazetted as forests without consideration of their settlement. Most of them were given permits by colonial governments in 1932 for view

• 18 May 2021 in Senate: purposes of holding and getting an opportunity to graze their animals in those forests and not to do farming activities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the hope they had was that post-independence, their concerns were going to be addressed. Their concerns were not dealt with in 1932. In the Swynnerton Plan 1954, their concerns were not dealt with. Then Independence came and their concerns were not dealt with. We came to the second liberation of this Republic. We even had a new Constitution that captures the interests of the minority and marginalized communities. However, still you have communities like the Elmolo ... view
• 18 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement. I thank Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this Statement about the cost of living, and particularly fuel prices. I do not know how the common mwananchi is surviving because even us, Members of Parliament (MPs) who are paid very good salary by Kenyans, are crying about fuel prices. The cost of coming to Bunge and going back to your house in Nairobi City for a week has doubled. By the end of the month, you spend Kshs30,000 to Kshs40,000 on fuel only. Those resources could go to investment in this ... view
