• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is about the Chairman of the Education Committee, Sen. Karaba, who is my very good old friend and who usually sits next to me. I requested a Statement from him as the Chair of the Education Committee on the use of indigenous languages in our primary schools, which is covered both by the Constitution and the Education Act. We wanted to know when that policy is going to be implemented and how much money the Government has allocated to it so that the programme can start next financial year. He has ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know the Cabinet Secretary for Education and is a man who respects the Constitution and the law. I am very surprised that the Chairman of Education Committee says that the Cabinet Secretary has neglected or failed to provide that Statement. I believe our friend, the Chair, has not made these requests in serious terms that would make the Cabinet Secretary see the seriousness of this matter. Could the Chair give guidance and the deadline when that Statement should be delivered and if it is not, then the House can consider what ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Statement tracker, the Statement was sought in April and was supposed to be responded to in that month but May has passed and June is in the middle. So, it is quite clear that there has been unreasonable delay. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill.

• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, can you protect me from Sen. Kajwang? I know he is trying to impress those people who vote for him. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know many Senators want to contribute. The law is not enough. The amendments that we are pursuing in this House will not be enough to solve this social problem. I think there is need for us to start a national campaign and support NACADA beyond the law. I think time has come for us to involve other social actors; the religious organizations and women groups which have done quite a bit, if you can remember the group that we saw in Kangemi. Over and above the law, we need social mobilization. We need to be able ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Kajwang to come and mislead Kenyans and this House with cooked bogus figures? Could he table the source of these figures he was reading in this House? view

This Motion touches at the very heart of the Senate. That is why it has tremendous support from both sides of the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to commend Sen. Sang most sincerely for the passion--- view
