• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, Sen. Khaniri has taken three minutes raising a point of order, but he does not hold any leadership position in this House. What about the Senate Majority Leader? He is even contradicting the Standing Orders because he is standing when I have the Floor. I do not want to go beyond that so that we close the matter. The point is that, this is an issue that is dear to me. It is an issue we have been grappling with since the previous term. I made suggestions to the Committee with passion. We must look at the ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to say that there are many questions that need to be answered from that Statement. One, if the hospital is going to be closed because the staff fear insecurity, the question I am asking myself is: what about the residents of Kitui? This means then that you will have to close a whole ward or a whole constituency because everybody is a victim of insecurity. I know what I am talking about because people from the northern counties, particularly, Mandera and Wajir, were complaining that they need to hire local people to teach ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mutula Kilonzo Jnr because he comes from that region including leaders from that area. We have been elected, and I want to thank the Senator of Kitui because this is part of the noise, part of the representation. It is our duty as leaders to make as much noise as possible until the issues of the people are heard. What an irony that the Inspector- General of Police comes from that region and yet he cannot even appreciate that from his personal experience, he must deal with the issues of insecurity. I want to challenge the Senator of Kitui, not ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Since the coming to office of the new Inspector-General (IG), the only success we know is withdrawing security for Members of Parliament (MPs) and a contingent of about of 150 General Service Unit (GSU) officers arresting an MP. We must bring to task--- view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: If he was not a Senator, probably he would have been a bishop. So, I have no problem being informed by the Senator for Kitui. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: I suspect Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. will show you directions to that office because I saw him posting a picture from one of the boardrooms. I insist that we must take the issue of insecurity seriously. I am speaking out of passion. Sometimes we joke as MPs, but I am sure Sen. (Prof.) Ekal and the Senator for West Pokot County would have done the same thing because we face problems all the time. It is important that we encourage our brothers and stand with them when they face a similar situation. I agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. on ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: both at the national and county levels. Excuses of insecurity must not be allowed to pass at the expense of services to the people. I thank you. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to start by congratulating our Mediation Committee for a job well done and for standing firm in support of the job that must be done in the counties. Article 96 of the Constitution makes it clear that we are the defenders of counties and county governments. The reason why we came up with a new Constitution was because this country came from a history where the President was acting as a benevolent leader, dishing out development and resources to places that he thought were right. Division of revenue and devolution itself are mechanisms with ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: imagined that there is a law that applies retrospectively to a time that was not enacted. It is impossible. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand here and say that I am proud to be a Senator and the Senate Majority Leader. We have done a fantastic job. I am proud of this House because of the plans we have for our decision to go to court. When we go to court for mention of our case on Tuesday, I believe that this country will see what this House has done. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we want to vote this afternoon and to ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: I congratulate Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. Sakaja, and the Senator of Narok County who, otherwise, has given himself a different responsibility out there, which we shall discus another time. They have done a fantastic job. This includes other Senators such as Sen. (Dr.) Ali--- view
