• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: It is a nuisance! I was trying to prosecute an important matter but my dear colleague decided to interrupt me. Maybe he should visit Omosh at Flair by Betty and I know he will take good care of him. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mining can get us out of poverty in this country. I hope that the concerned Committee will take this matter seriously, so that we ensure that at least we instill some form of discipline in terms when it comes to legislation. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: I can see Sen. Haji is here. I congratulate him for doing a good job. Maybe he should tell us that it is not that we do not have legislation in this country. It is because of lack of discipline because institutions do not implement resolutions passed. Although the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) brought us together, we would not have needed that if most legislation had been implemented. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: This is a matter that I hope and I do pray that the Cabinet Secretary will take seriously once he is asked to provide this information. This will ensure that for once in the history of this Parliament we can convert mines into dollars for the common view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider. I dare say that some of us politicians are the ones in business with those miners from outside the country who are raping our country. If we are serious, we should ensure that everybody benefits. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a matter of concern, although I will not take the radical position that my senior, whom I respect, has taken. This is a matter that requires the Office of the Speaker to have a sitting with the Speaker The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: of the National Assembly to discuss it. These amendments are things which should have been done a long time ago. Sometimes when you meet Members of the National Assembly, they try explaining to you what your role is. The other day, I was sitting with a Member of the National Assembly, and he was saying that the National Assembly enacts legislations while the Senate participates in the law making function. I consulted my senior, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and he said that the role of Parliament is in Article 94, which is very clear. Mr. Deputy, Speaker, Sir, I beseech ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to make some comments and support the sentiments of my colleague, Sen. M. Kajwang’. I sit in the CPAIC; this House really needs to take seriously the reports that are coming up, particularly from the committee sittings. On a daily basis, we sit up to around 2.30 p.m., and sometimes, we are even not done. That tells you that there are so many challenges that are facing this country, which are caused by mismanagement of funds and lack of competency in the county governments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of pending bills, which ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On Order No.12, the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 33 of 2018), I would like to seek that the matter be held for some time. I am still seeking certain directions, and will later on give the way forward. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the adoption of this very important Motion.

One of the main ... view
