• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw but I am saying that there will be a huge migration that will occur in this country in a few months. Perhaps this is the last week we will be here before people go for complete competition for their political party tickets. Therefore, I believe as we go to the various parties, we will migrate. Those who will have their parties like Sen. (Dr.) Were, who have a well- organized run party called Amani National Congress (ANC), however small it is, I have not seen them with drama. I believe we will now learn a ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. Sakaja - who is a musician and an artist by his own right - has raised a very important issue with regard to protection of our local content producers and copy right owners. Instead of Sen. Olekina accepting that man is to err or perhaps he is not an expert in that area, he is trying to impute improper motive on a Senator by saying he is playing to the gallery. By the way, there is nobody in the Gallery. If figuratively he meant the people of Kenya who are ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to move this Bill. This Bill is now being moved I think a third or fourth time since we came to the Senate. It is one of the Bills that lapsed because it was not processed by the National Assembly on time during the previous Parliament. It was also affected by the High Court ruling and that is why I am moving it. I think this is the third time. I will not spend a lot of time to repeat because the HANSARD speaks for itself in as far ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I suspect you want me to say; “I beg to move”. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: 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
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I really laud this Petition for the content and issues being raised in this house, and agree with Sen. Wetangula, he made a mistake to bring in Sen. Sakaja. However, it is true that the Jubilee Party, my former party, has a written agreement - a cooperation agreement - with the Government of China. A number of Members of this House and Members of the National Assembly have been part of the delegation to go to China to talk about technical support. In fact, many people think that the confusion and madness that is going on ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, in the 2017 elections, all the political parties in this country received technical support from the American Government, European Union and the UK. Just because the President has already served 10 years and is not going for re- election, it is not a license for him to kick the ladder when other political parties and political leaders want to benefit from technical support from our partners. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: It is a paradox that we have a country that is borrowing for everything, including water security. We are borrowing for roads and everything, and then, when we have matters related to democracy, we write letters. I wish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could be writing letters to foreign countries telling them: “Do not lend any more money to the Kenyan Government,” because the struggle that we have in the Republic is dealing with debts. In fact, if there is a policy, programme or mechanism that is interfering with our democracy, it is debt, because we end up making decisions ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: When you talk about technical support, women’s movement, the fight for democracy in this country from 1992 or even before that was able to succeed because we had the technical support of our foreign partners. Madam Deputy Speaker, if you look at the women movement, including yourself, you have even invited me to train women in programmes you have been running that are supported by foreign agencies. However, somebody now feels threatened that since there is a new wave of democracy and people want to chart their way forward, they want to micromanage everything. There is a very bad behavior ... view
