• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the authority of this House is being put to the test. It is not just this House, but your position as the Speaker as well. The Speaker issued orders, which under Article 125 of the Constitution, should lead to summons being issued. I know that the Senate Minority Leader has said that you should require the Cabinet Secretary to come here. Your orders have been defied using a letter that is not even signed by the Cabinet Secretary, but by a Principal Secretary. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: There is no more urgent issue at the moment in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries than the invasion of locusts. In fact, when you talk about the national interest, even as a country, this is the most urgent business that must concern all of us. The locusts are feasting on mangoes in Kerio Valley in Elgeyo-Marakwet, where I come from. They are clearing vegetation that is meant for livestock. They are clearing forests. We cannot just sit here and say that the Cabinet Secretary can choose when to come to the Senate and when not to. Another Communication ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: We cannot just sit here and talk about this all the time. Do something today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate Sen. Sakaja for coming up with this Statement. Sen. Faki, led by the Chairman of the Committee of Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, Sen. Cherargei – did a very good job when they went to the coast region with their team. They did a fantastic job on the matter of extra-judicial killings, which was reported live. I also noted that the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have been taking greater concern on this matter. We must say the truth. Some of the extra-judicial killings ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I brought a Statement on the Floor of this House about the killing of my own Personal Assistant (PA), who was abducted by security agencies, killed and dropped somewhere in Kapenguria. Up to now, nothing has been done for the former Member of County Assembly (MCA), Hon. Benson Kiptire, who was killed by security officers. The same happened to the Pokots who were arrested in Kapenguria, then killed and dumped in a place called Kaptagat in Keiyo. We must face this thing. I am glad that the DPP, who is a Muslim, appreciates the challenge that we ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: department should cooperate fully with the Police Oversight Authority on the investigation and prosecution of anyone who is carrying out extra-judicial killings. My suggestion is that we come up with an ad hoc committee. The Senate Business Committee will support it on the Floor of this House. They should spend about 60 days, come up with a serious report and that report should be presented for implementation. That is how we will leave a good legacy. view

• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Committee on the Medical Equipment Supplies (MES) have done a good job. There is no doubt that if we form an ad hoc committee on extra-judicial killings, we will come up with a serious report. I can see Sen. Faki, among others, being a Member of that Committee. view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: First of all, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is not the first time that Sen. Khaniri is bringing a Statement of this nature. He has been a faithful servant of the people of Kenya, especially when it comes to transfer of resources from the national to the county governments. Sen. Khaniri has brought a very important Statement. But I want to remind him that we live in very interesting times, not like we were in the last term. You know that. We live at a time when counties are being told, “Take it or leave it.” Everything just happens to ... view
