• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I attended the National Prayer Breakfast and heard about a debate of who can give in church, whose money is clean and which people are holy. That is not a new discourse because it was there during the days of Jesus. That is more than 2,000 years. There is a story of a lady who was a prostitute and went with expensive oil to anoint Jesus on his feet. As she did that, the disciples The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: who looked like the ones I have seen of late, rebuked that it was total waste. They even wondered why Jesus paid attention to the prostitute. Some thought that the oil ought to have been sold. All of us are sinners and have equal treatment before God. The most important thing is to take responsibility. When the report on this Motion comes from the Committee or otherwise, through the Senate and the Ministry of Devolution and ASAL Areas in conjunction with the Council of Governors (CoG), we should be courageous, as a Senate, to follow through its recommendations and push ... view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I welcome the students from Kangaru Girls School and the student leaders from the University of Eldoret. I have listened to the contribution of Sen. Sakaja and everybody else who spoke here, and I agree with them that for leadership – particularly for those who are still in high school and university – you do not just wake up one day and become a leader. It is a process that requires commitment, passion and dedication. They are walking in the right path. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: When I was a first-year student at the University of Nairobi – which was about 19 years ago – I sat somewhere there; and I am lucky that less than 10 years later, I was able to come to this House. Therefore, with dedication, passion, commitment--- view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Therefore, with dedication, passion and commitment, they will go far. Like Sen. Sakaja, I was a student leader at the UoN from day one. From the Christian Union (CU) Leader in my class, to being the Chairperson of the first Kenya Law Students Society (KLSS) in second year; to being the equivalent of SONU that time, after SONU had been banned, to being the Chairperson of all the CUs in the Country. I, therefore, understand the position they are holding. I am saying this because there is a disease that came to the university around my time, and thereafter. I ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: been the Chair of KLSS. However, that disease is back to the universities where the whole mobilization is about a certain group meeting a certain tribe. As elected leaders in this House, when those students come to us to ask for those amounts of money and to be mobilized based on certain groups, we must have the courage to tell them off. We should tell them to go back to the university and mobilize themselves around issues. I hope our students who are listening here, will go back and think about ideas and issues so that the strikes at the ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay the following papers on the Table of the Senate today, Wednesday, 29th May, 2019: view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in supporting this Statement. We have discussed this issue several times. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Sakaja have come with similar kind of questions in the past. This issue should be handled with finality. The question that we all ask ourselves is: What is the national policy on land compensation? Our Constitution is clear that property rights are part and parcel of our human rights. You cannot deprive our people of their small piece of land - however small it may be - because that is the source of their livelihood. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you see the conversation we have had, I am glad Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. today confirmed that there are still challenges in Thwake in terms of compensation of locals. We are facing similar challenges in Karomenu in Thika and in Aror and Kimwarer Dam. When we raised these issues, people thought we were joking. As a country, we need to agree; between the period where you secure funding for projects, commence the project, loans and obligations run for the people of Kenya and the compensation of the citizens; there must be agreed timelines. This will ensure ... view
