• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am concluding. I agree that maybe it was wrong to say ‘ bonga points’ . However, she went to earn her political mileage. When someone is limping, it is seen. I saw my colleague limping and she told me that it is part of the struggle. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: As a House, we take these things seriously. To stop us from moving to the next order, the fate that befalls the question raised by Sen. Khaniri, suffers the same consequences with the one raised by my colleague from Narok County. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding the Statement on the withdrawal of security officers of senior leaders, the answer is as follows--- view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, I love the enthusiasm of the Senator for Narok County. If only he can moderate to follow the Standing Orders, it will be very nice. I promised that I would give a temporary answer by today on the security of the former Vice-President and the former Prime Minster, considering that their everyday security is a concern of every citizen. I have been assured by the Inspector-General that the Statement is on the way. This verbal commitment cannot be relied on because it was just for purpose of the comfort of the people of ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take the security of the former Prime Minister and the former Vice-President seriously. That is why I wanted assurance from the Inspector-General of Police that they are safe even before a written Statement is brought here. We know that they are presidential and deputy presidential candidates. We do not want anything to happen to them yet they are garnering to be President and Deputy President of this country. You never know how far they might go on 26th October, 2017. We must protect them. That is why I asked the Inspector-General of Police to assure me ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the next Statement is extremely serious. It is even more serious than the previous one. The security personnel are working on it. It involves a sensitive matter of two communities who have lived together and are living together. The proper details must be incorporated in the manner in which the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government have assured me.This is not something to be rushed upon but security measures are being taken to deal with the issue.The report to the House is being worked on with the necessary details. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the kind of Statement that would have not only been issued by the Ministry but would have also been interrogated by the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. In fact, once we have the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, it would be important that the Committee interrogates the Statement and also goes to the ground to assess what is happening by listening to the people. The irony of the seriousnessof my colleague is the fact that whereas Sen. Cheruiyot, myself and others visited the place, went for the funeral of the ten ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the two statements are very important. Is it possible for you to order that the minority and majority sides when we come back from the recess - should agree and form the Committees so that these issues can be dealt with? With regard to the issue of mining, for example, I do not think it is enough I just issue a statement. However, it would be of much help if the Energy Committee or the Committee responsible would visit the area. I have seen Sen. Cherargei visiting that place and listening to his constituents. Can we say ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that the Committee of the Whole has considered the Election Laws(Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.39 of 2017) and its approval thereof without amendments. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know we are about to complete this important process. I would like to thank the Hon. Senators, particularly from the majority side, who have sat through this process to pass a very important law. I want to assure the nation that this is a great opportunity for each one of us to now prepare for the elections without any fear. The lacuna or loopholes that have been in the law have now been sealed. Also, I believe that there is an extent that the law cannot take care of; that is, common sense. I ... view
