• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you and my colleagues in welcoming the students from Ruth Kiptui Girls High School. I would like to state that Baringo is a beautiful County. If the students learnt on how to plant trees, it will really help. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for protecting me from the loud consultations from the Members from the Rift Valley who should be listening to what I am saying. The future of these young women depends on the environment that we have today and how they continue to protect it. I therefore stand here to encourage the students to continue planting trees on a daily basis while in school and at home. I thank you. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, day after day, year after year, imagine having no space to call your own and no choice of where to stay or what to eat and after you have paid your debt to society and you are rehabilitated, you come out and you are punished. I thank Sen. Halake for this Statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you commit this Statement, the Committee should also take its time to see how it can advise the Kenya Prisons Service (KPS). Yesterday, in our Committee, when we were dealing with the issue of Information, Communication and The electronic version of ... view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Technology (ICT), we found out that we knew things that even the Ministry did not know. I know this is a Committee that is headed by very distinguished and intelligent Senators in this House. I request them to come up with proposals on how once these people are rehabilitated and are leaving jail or penitentiary, they can be given their certificate of good conduct. What is the point of saying you are rehabilitating them? We might as well change our prisons to calling them a death bed. There is no point. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement, ... view

• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very encouraging because they are the mothers of this nation. We want them to listen to what we are saying in terms of this country taking care of its citizens well. view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: I do not want to repeat what I said, but the Committee can now seize this moment to introduce ways in which when people leave prison, they can be given a good life. They can be given their certificate of good conduct as part of their parting shot. There is no point of keeping somebody for 20 years. I mean, seriously? view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I almost thought that I heard my own things when you gave the Communication. When did the National Assembly consider this House more important for the Miscellaneous Amendment Bills? I wonder. This is an admission of guilt. We have refused to follow up on certain orders such as the issue of Huduma Number because the National Assembly did not forward that Bill to this House for it to be considered. I hope that the President and those who advise him are listening, that if you try to ignore the Senate there is nowhere you will ... view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I encourage you and your office particularly, to ensure that every single Bill which is sent to the President for assent has gone through this House. This is because there is no Bill that does not affect counties. This is a step in the right direction. Kenyans out there now ought to know that this House will defend democracy. Even if it means us going to court, we will go there to ensure that those laws which were passed without being brought to this House can be brought back so that we consider them. view
