• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. You have been very generous to me. view
• 4 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate the Senate Majority Leader for a job well done. The role that he plays is a fairly complex one because apart from being one of the political leaders of this House, he is also a bridge with the other Houses and the Executive. I think what he has done now is what he should be doing – having audience with His Excellency the President; having audience with the Attorney-General; writing letters where necessary and having cups of tea with the Senate Majority Leader in the National Assembly and other leaderships ... view

• 30 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and most sincerely commend and thank Sen. Njoroge for bringing this important Bill before the Senate. This Bill is clear testimony that there is logic in appointing people with disabilities to the Senate to represent the interests of the others in the country. Sen. Njoroge, I want to commend you for being a very effective representative of your constituency. That is the constituency of disability. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view

• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to pay tribute to what for now is the greatest Kenyan scholar who ever lived. I personally knew the late Prof. Ali Mazrui. I spent some time with him when we met in conferences when both of us were in the United States of America in the 1990s. He used to tell us about the difficult years that he had in Africa those days. When somebody dies, it is very easy to see only the good circumstances that he ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, I know that our friend, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, is a lecturer at the university. Of course, we really commend her and all the scholars in this Senate. But I was very careful in the language that I used; I said “some” and you are not included in that category. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are some people who have been talking about democracy but they do not believe in democracy. There are other academicians who are academicians for hire. If the donors call them and tell them “this is where the funding for this year is, we would ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Parliamentary Service (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 21 of 2014) is my Bill. The purpose of this Bill is to amend the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) Act so that we can recognise the Senate. This Act was passed when the Senate was not there and we thought that it was good that the PSC creates two streams; one stream to look after the affairs of the National Assembly and the other stream to look after the affairs of the Senate. The Bill was prepared, read for the first time before this House and was ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: No, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was giving background as to why I am seeking the deferment of this Bill--- view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am saying that the Bill is not ready because it has not gone through the necessary steps under our Standing Orders under which the Committee is supposed to invite the public for their opinion. I am, therefore, requesting that the Bill be deferred so that the necessary procedure can be followed. view
