• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, like others have said, I want to support this Bill, but with a heavy heart. Our role as Senators is to mobilize resources for our counties. I must say that the resources we are now allocating to the counties are grossly inadequate. Even the Kshs226 billion that we are now allocating to counties is just a drop in the ocean. I agree with those Members who say it does not amount to 43 per cent. The current budget is in trillions. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we, as Senators, cannot accept this game of using old accounts to cheat the counties out of their rights. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Those in Government must up their game. If this comes this way next year, we are going to face major difficulties even as we support the Jubilee Government, Sen. Murkomen. You can see Sen. Orengo is not here, they are drafting the referendum questions. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I know one of the questions will be on the resources to the counties at a minimum 40 per cent. Unless these accounts are updated and the people see those resources at the counties, there will be a very difficult political situation even for those who support you. 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 Editor, Senate. view
• 22 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give Notice of the following Motion:- THAT, in accordance to Standing Order No.227 (1) and (2), the Senate approves the Report of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries laid on the Table of the House on Thursday 17th July, 2014.

• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House, today, Thursday, 17th July, 2014:- Report of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the petition by tea famers of Kisii County concerning high taxation and low bonus earnings by tea farmers dated 17th July, 2014. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter but I do not think that the resignation of one person called ole Lenku is going to stop the killings in Pokot and Turkana because the problem is much deeper than that. I think we need to address the whole issue. If you look at the way we have established the military bases in this country; we have a barrack in Kahawa, Lang’ata, Gilgil, Nanyuki and Eldoret. These were established by the colonialists because wherever the “White” men were, that is where the military barracks were established. Time has come for ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to correct the impression erroneously created by the Chairman that I am comfortable. That answer, to say the least, is insufficient. I do not want to add adjectives which may be offensive. I think it is Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o who said that the colonialists took many of our resources. One of the resources they took is our indigenous language. Our process of decolonization will not be complete until Kenyans can express themselves in their mother tongue and perpetuate their cultures in that language. This is what we are trying to preserve through the Constitution. ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: I want to ask, what action the Government is taking to develop indigenous languages? I come from a county--- view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: I am saying that in my county there is nothing happening in conducting any teaching in ECDs or primary schools up to Standard Three in Kimeru Language. What action has the current Government taken to implement the Constitution by introducing Kimeru Language up to Standard Three in primary schools in Meru? I also asked how much money the Government has put in the current Budget for the purposes of implementing this policy. I have not heard him say anything about that. So, could he answer those two first? view
