• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: bus or train. Nobody recognizes that we have senior citizens in this country. People like Martin Shikuku, before he passed on, was struggling like everybody else, despite having been at Lancaster House and fought for Independence. In fact, when I came to Parliament in 1992, I found Shikuku and he was protesting and saying: “These babies have come just the other day and we are earning the same salary with them, although I was in this Parliament when they were still in primary school.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, our society does not recognize our elderly; neither does it accord them ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I gave the example of ole Ntimama, first, because he is my friend. Secondly, as you know, he is from Meru. He is not even from your community. Thirdly,-- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think that Sen. Karaba needs more historical information. I can confirm for certain that Mzee ole Ntimama is a very respected Maasai elder. He has represented the Maasai community in this country for many years, but he originated from Meru and is very proud about it. Last year, I took him to Meru to show him the village that they came from and he was very happy even to support the school in that village. So, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Even some of the Europeans here originated from the United Kingdom a ... view
• 18 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is the honourable Minority Leader in order to mislead this House that he is making intelligent contribution regarding this matter of the refinery when he seems to know nothing about it? view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am rising on a very serious matter regarding the sitting arrangement of Members in this House. Sen. Kipchumba Murkomen has been permanently sitting on that side. This afternoon, after invitation by Sen. Musila, two of our Senators have purportedly crossed the Floor to that side. In the Commonwealth tradition, if you cross the Floor, it means that you have changed your parties, and our law states that if you change your party, then you lose your seat. Could the Speaker explain to the Members of Parliament, who have just crossed the ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. All these utterances are to confirm one fact; that the purported crossing of the Floor is meaningless and those two Members are still Members of this Senate. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to request for two Statements. STATUS OF LAND ADJUDICATION AND ISSUANCE OF TITLE DEEDS IN MERU COUNTY Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to request for a Statement from the Chair of the Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources. Given the fact that land adjudication and registration in Meru County started in 1960 and has been going on for the last 50 years and the Jubilee Government has promised to conclude this exercise and issue all the remaining title deeds this year, could the Chairman table a Statement from the Cabinet Secretary ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Khaniri is a very serious Senator. I will take his word and wait for the three weeks. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think that Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o wants to sabotage the delivery of my Statement within the next three weeks. Could the Chairman deliver my Statement within three weeks, as he said and then take more time to do the exercise that Sen. Anyang’-Nyong’o has requested? He may deliver that one at a future date. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think that the word “sabotage” is unparliamentary. But I could replace it with “undermine”, which is more polite. view
