• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the leases lapsed, but were renewed without considering the interest of the indigenous people. If you go back to history, you will learn that those leases were signed in 1904. We ask very pertinent questions. Now we ask a very pertinent question: Why is it that when this list was made, the original inhabitants of the land were not considered for even a portion? view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, this is what pains me. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I also wanted to put in my “two cents worth” on this matter and particularly on the issue of summoning. Now that we know practically as per the rules in our Standing Orders that we have to give seven days’ notice to be able to summon anyone to appear before the House, could I suggest that you give directions and summons be sent for the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Interior and all the other security operatives and the others who were requested by this House to appear before this House on a full House committee on ... view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, we were earlier informed by a Member of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, Sen. Linturi, that the Cabinet Secretary has refused to appear before their Committee. On other matters, he read a letter that was written by a staffer, that the Cabinet Secretary was busy with other matters. This issue is clear.

That means that he can only appear next week on Friday or the other week. view

• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: Let us divorce our interest from the interest of the people. We might have an interest with the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government or the security apparatus in this country but we are dealing with the issue of people whose livelihood is being affected. Let us not dillydally on this matter. Let us proceed and issue summons. Let us deal with it because it is of national security. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: If the President can declare the drought issue in Laikipia and countrywide as a national disaster, our cows are being killed, people are living without--- there are people who cannot go to school. We want sanity. view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: I plead with you that instead of dillydallying let us move ahead and issue summons. Let him appear on Friday. We will come here because we are elected to represent the people. What business will we have going to the grassroots if we cannot deal with a matter of national concern? view
• 16 Sep 2021 in Senate: I plead with you that instead of wasting time, let us issue the summons because invitations will not be honored. view
