• 23 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, we have devolved functions. In our devolved functions, it is the Vice Chairman who deals with the Statements which come before this House. So, we hope that you will assist us to implement that arrangement. view
• 23 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mine is on Statement “(b)” on the Order Paper. We were informed that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget is not present and it was suggested that the Statement be issued tomorrow. So, I will wait for tomorrow. view
• 23 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. In so doing, I would like to refer the House to Article 93 of the Constitution which reads:- “(1) There is established a Parliament of Kenya, which shall consist of the National Assembly and the Senate. (2) The National Assembly and the Senate shall perform their respective functions in accordance with this Constitution.” There is a consistent pattern where the National Assembly seems to be pretending that it is Parliament. It is because of that pretence that you see behaviour like what we are dealing with now. The electronic version ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition. Fifteen per cent of all the cancer cases coming to KNH are from my county – Meru County. It is not known why Merus are so prone to cancer but I believe there must be a reason. It is not only people from the miraa zone. In fact, there is a large part of Meru which does not grow miraa but people from those areas also suffer from cancer.I would beg that when the Senate investigates this matter as the petitioners have requested, we could go a little further ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Security and Foreign Relations on a very serious matter. As you know, we have had running battles in the border between Meru and Isiolo counties. To our credit, as the leaders of the two counties; the leaders of Isiolo and Meru counties, led by the Senators and our Governors, we met the then Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Hon. Ole Lenku, and agreed that the boundary between our counties should be ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think I have a right to comment on this matter about the President of USA. As you know, President Obama was my classmate. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had an important matter to raise on this issue. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to add my voice to our colleagues who have profusely thanked out Mediation Committee Members; Sen. Kagwe, Sen. Elachi and the “bull fighter”, for doing a superb job doing this Mediation Committee exercise. It would be a great mistake if a mediation exercise is mistaken to be a theatre of conflict between the National Assembly and the Senate. Members of the National Assembly and Senators are all servants of the people. We are in these Houses to represent the people who are in the counties. The winner or the loser of a mediation exercise ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: I want to urge our colleagues to support the recommendations of the Mediation Committee and urge those centralists; those people who do not believe in devolution, those people who do not want any resources to go to the counties to know that their days are numbered. The country has changed, the Constitution has changed and any person living in the past has no place in a Mediation Committee like this. This is a committee where reasonable people go and look at the issues, give and take and arrive at a reasonable decision. I beg to support. view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Have you heard the hon. Member say that they do not kill each other with Al Shabaab because they know each other? That is a very dangerous statement to make; that they know each other with view
