• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: I am sorry for that, Madam Temporary Speaker. It means the policeman and the pedestrian who has been arrested would negotiate outside the traffic system. It is actually petty corruption. So, we should publish these fines so that the wananchi know how much they should be paying, then we are not solving the problem, but just increasing a source of corruption. So, I am fully in support of the roadside courts, but let the fines be published for every person to know how much he should be paying otherwise we are going to oppress and exploit innocent but ignorant Kenyans. ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this amendment. I think the amendment is brought in the spirit of devolution.

• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: counties of this country. We should ask ourselves what we are devolving. Are we devolving traffic jams to our counties? Are we devolving poor planning to our counties? That is why the amendment is important and I want to thank Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo whose name, I understand, means in Pokot, a very beautiful bull, for bringing this beautiful amendment. As I had mentioned earlier, we are experiencing traffic chaos in Meru County and, indeed, other examples have been given about the country. The amendment should resolve that.

We need to request that we get a status report on all the pending Statements. The Clerk should write a letter to all the Chairpersons so that they appear in the Chamber on Thursday, next week and those with Statements to issue them.

• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes an occasion like this one arises when the House has to make a precedent which will be quoted in future when similar occasions do arise. We can deal with the question which Members are raising around this issue, head on. What is the position of a Senator whose election has been nullified by the High Court, but the writs have not been issued by the Speaker? What is his status during that intervening period?

However, I think we need to go beyond description. We need to understand the mind of the terrorists. We need to understand the terrorist theory and practice. There ... view
