• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that the National Assembly is a high school. I said that the numbers that they have is like that of a high school. The behaviour of some of their leaders is close to that of the head teachers that I saw when I was in high school. That might be the only comparison. Their behaviour brings the reputation of the House to that of a high school. I have not said that it is a high school but it does look like a high school. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a high school is a fantastic place but it is a place for formation. In 1st Corinthians 13:11, St. Paul says that, ‘when I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me’. That does not mean the he despised children. It is just a stage in life. By this comparison, we are implying that the National Assembly is still in a certain stage in life. It is not in a negative sense. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should not be distracted from the work that we do. We must remain focussed in protecting the Constitution and the institutional integrity of this House. 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
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: I have avoided saying things that are related to the Division of Revenue Bill because the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget will update this House on a similar issue. It will be good if you can allow him to make the Statement before the Members react to my Statement because we are raising the same issues. Thank you for this opportunity. My colleagues should know that they are doing a good job and they should continue in the same direction. Mzalendo Trust recently appraised the Members of Parliament and in as much as Sen. Orengo and I ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: On point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is Sen. Were in order to try to challenge the Chair in the name of raising a point of order against the Chair? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you must not allow this to fly because if you do, it will create a very bad precedent. What the House wants to know from Sen. Were’s statement is who was out of order. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the petition and urge the Committee to act expeditiously. In the interim, instead of waiting for the report to be brought to the House, I request the Office of the Speaker to be in close touch with the relevant committee so that certain administrative actions can be taken in the interim where it is possible without the need to wait for a report to be tabled in this House for implementation. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Counselling should be provided for the family members of the victims. Death certificates should also be issued because they are useful in pursuing benefits of the families including those who were dependents to the deceased. The death certificates, among others things, are very important for them to continue with their life in terms of benefitting from what their loved ones left behind for them. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I offer my condolences and believe that this House has demonstrated that there are many Kenyans who have faith in what we do. Although, I will get an opportunity to speak tomorrow, I would like to use this opportunity to remind the country that there has been an erroneous image being portrayed in the other House that we are supposed to only discuss a certain calibre of issues. I encourage the Senators not to be dragged into such side shows. We must focus. We did very well with the Kenya Airways inquiry. The report that the ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: We must do a good job on this issue that concerns the victims of the Ethiopian Air Crash so that our critics can only interact with us in terms of work and deliverables and not debates that have no legal and constitutional basis. I offer my condolences and believe that we shall provide the solutions that the people of Kenya need in this sector. I know a number of people who lost loved ones. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my classmate, Dr. Tom Kabau and the Principal Secretary, National Treasury, lost their brothers. Personally, I knew a Chinese guy who was ... view
