• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Northern Frontiers wanted to secede. Even today, the Al Shabaab are having a field day because in this country, we have got our priorities mixed up. Madam Temporary Speaker, as we blame the police for extrajudicial killings, the IPOA which has been set up constitutionally has got no teeth. We must ask ourselves: How are we empowering them? I was listening to Sen. (Eng.) Maina talk and what he said is true. For example, a shrewd businessman would go to Maasai land and buy cows cheaply. A Maasai will go and sell meat to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), but ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in conclusion, I challenge the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to get a copy of the SpecialGazette Notice dated 14th February, 2020. I am sure it will excite him to know that all those police stations are gazetted and will hopefully be built. I hope that we can begin to appreciate what the officers in this country do for us. view

• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me thank Sen. Halake for bringing up this matter since it should make us think about how we can avoid these things from happening. The moment we treat public information as public information, is the day that we can ensure that we develop as a nation that is open. We talk about a cloud solution. Any person with a business will treat paper as secondary information. I think it is an opportunity for us to look at the PFM Act and maybe amend the section that requires every county government to back up their ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: My suggestion to them is to look at the existing legislations. How do we make sure that it is watertight, so that when you are tasked with a fiduciary responsibility, you cannot come back and say that we cannot account to the Auditor-General because our documents were burnt down during the recent fire? Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee that will be looking into this matter should not only come up with an explanation as to why these fires are occurring, but also come up with a solution as to how we will prevent these things or public money from being ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. First of all, I rise to support the sentiments by our two colleagues. I thought that yesterday would have given us an The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: opportunity to be able to support a fiducial responsibility to ensure that the people of Nairobi continue benefitting from the services. Looking at Article 187 of the Constitution, it clearly states that the constitutional responsibility still lies on the county government. I thought that this matter would not have committed two Committees of this House. I was not here, but I was watching the proceedings. I would really beseech you to reconsider that decision made from your Chair so that we can have a form of continuity. If we now drag and try to get into a matter which we ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.47 (1), to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern regarding the Novel Corona Virus. As the House may be already aware, the deadly virus that originated from Wuhan, China, is circulating internationally. Indeed, this House already deliberated on this topic via statements by Sen. Kasanga and Sen. Kwamboka last week on 19th February, 2020. Much as this country has been fortunate for the time being, that there have been no known cases of infections since the three suspected cases were tested and cleared by the ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: locations internationally have been affected. More than 82,000 infections and almost 3,000 deaths have been reported. In some countries, various forms of interactions with people coming from or going to China have been restrained. For example, the entire border between Russia and China, about 26,000 miles, has been closed. More recently, Israel has been reported to have turned away a plane that landed from Korea, only allowing Israeli passport holders to disembark. First World countries and more developed nations have locked out flights to and from China. More than 50 countries have issued an entry ban on residents of China ... view
