• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: exclusive, then let it be exclusive. However, if it is for Kenya, it is important that all of us get involved. My personal contribution to this information is that it must get out from the President and the former Prime Minister, being personalised and from being in a cocoon, that the Building Bridges Initiative team are doing things that are not understood by Kenyans. That way, when the product comes out, it is as good as the process. If the process is good, the product will have the legitimacy to be welcomed and accepted by Kenyans. It is important that ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: we passed a Constitution that deals with individuals instead of institutions or issues that are meant for posterity. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Wetangula captured that very well when he said that we need to focus on institutions and not individual friendships. We know all top politicians in this country lead by the former Prime Minister, the former Vice President, Deputy President and former Deputy Prime Minister, Musalia Mudavadi founded the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). They did it together through the same process. I did not want to say your party because you are presiding now. Indeed, they were friends and ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: hands of the appointing authority are tied when it comes to making changes for purpose of delivery of services. That should not mean that we, as politians and the people of this Republic should put pressure for punishment of individuals as if they do not have a right. That if I do not like the face of a certain Cabinet Secretary or if I am anticipating that if so and so will be removed, I will get an opportunity to fight people and create fictitious stories - that is what the President called pitchfork protest - so that you get ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: she must not allow their workers to work for not more than a certain number of hours and if they will work overtime, an amount of money has to be paid, and that those people will pay taxes and be accountable to the country. If those values and principles of trade and labour will not be adhered to, we will not go anywhere as a country. I support Sen. Sakaja‟s initiative and push. Some speakers said that he brings a Motion here. I do not want him to bring a Motion. I would love that Sen. Sakaja and his Committee ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: would ask you: What are you doing here? Nobody would ever allow a child to be in a bar or even a hotel after 6.00 p.m. In the village there was a general reporting mechanim. If, for example, a girl of a certain family hang around the shopping centre in the evenings, someone would reprot her at her home; but nowdays it is everyone for himself and God for us all. Nobody cares about the neibghbour‟s children or family. There are many problems. In fact, even family relationships are not there anymore. People have broken their relationships with their parents ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Nowadays, people hold onto their problems, look for personal solutions, commit suicide or kill somebody. If you look at the age of the Moi University student, who was killed, and the age of the young man who killed her, no amount of justification can be given for such a heinous act. The same thing happened to the lady who was in Rongo University and such things are happening every day. The unreported cases are far too many. These incidences have been worsened by social media. Our young people do not have time to engage face to face. WhatsApp has become ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: I congratulate the President for the Speech. I insist that the Reports that were presented to us be given to the relevant committees. Those committees should look for mechanisms that this Senate can use to further engage on the issues raised by the President. I beg to move. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the Motion- THAT, pursuant to Standing Orders No. 28 and 29, the Senate do adjourn until Tuesday, 14th May, 2019. I have spoken a lot this afternoon. We are adjourning because the Calendar says that we should adjourn. Secondly, we are adjourning because we have the Legislative Summit next week. It will be taking place in Kisumu and all Senators have been encouraged to attend the Legislative Summit. I believe that we are going to have a fruitful engagement with our colleagues from the county assemblies as we think through what has happened ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: need to chart the way forward on how we are going to handle our oversight responsibility. I wish the Senators a good recess as they engage their constituents after next week‟s conference. We should also think of what we want to do when we come back. I am sure that the recess period will give us an opportunity to engage the constituents so as to know what is happening on the ground but it will also help us come up with ideas that we can prosecute in this House. I beg to move and request Sen. Wetangula to second. view
