• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my concern was really about the delays. The runway was completed in February, 2012, but nothing happens on that site for one year because they start doing the terminal building one year later in March, 2013. Why wait for one before moving to the next phase? They say they have advertised tenders for Phase Three on Access Roads. The tenders were supposed to have been advertised on 20th June, 2014. Have they been advertised? view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not correct to say that we had not raised issues of delays in our request for the Statement. My Statement was very clear in part two. I had asked the cost of the project, the contract and the cost of delay in completion. So, it is not correct for the Vice Chairperson to say that the issue of delay is a new one and she needs to go back. Maybe she should say that the answer on the Statement she got from the Ministry was not complete and therefore, she is requesting for more time ... view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe the information is available and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) does not require two weeks. We are prepared to give them another one week. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson had promised two statements and they are in the Order Paper for today; one on Isiolo Airport, which she has attempted to answer. There is another one on the Mikinduri-Maua Road--- view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: I am most obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Amendment Bill. From the very outset, I would like to declare my interest in this Bill. As you know, I am the party leader of the ‘Bus’ party; the Alliance Party of Kenya (APK). So, I want to contribute from that perspective. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill comes at a very appropriate time when we have just been celebrating our Saba Saba Anniversary. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: You will recall – although some of the people we saw at Uhuru Park were there for the first time – that Saba Saba is a very serious occasion. That day, on the 7th of July, 1990, about 20 people died and all the political leaders in the Opposition were either detained or exiled. Very many people suffered, with some dying as a result of that struggle. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question is why did that have to happen? The struggle then was about one Section in the old Constitution called Section 2(a), which had converted Kenya into a de ... view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: That is why he is the Senate Minority Leader! view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know politicians like cheating themselves; they ignore the realities. If the ‘bus’ party is a footnote, then FORD Kenya will be a footnote to a footnote. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us not trivialize the importance of this Bill because if we are talking about historical injustices, there is one which was committed by the Tenth Parliament in enacting a Bill which said that unless as a party, you have five Members of Parliament (MPs) and five per cent of the total national vote, then you are not entitled to political party funding. We have major problems even in the computation of these votes. On our side, the APK, we all voted for the President, but right now, we are not entitled to any funding because ... view
