• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. Narok County gets about Kshs2.1 billion every year from tourism. If you think about an ordinary Kenyan, he probably makes a maximum of Kshs84,000. It begs the big question: What is it that we are now doing in terms of caring about the ordinary Kenyan? When an ordinary Kenyan is killed by an animal, there is compensation by a county government that collect Kshs2.1 billion. Taita-Taveta County collects about Kshs6 billion from tourism. Why can we not set up an emergency fund to ensure that we compensate our people when they are attacked ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, what has happened in this country is that human beings and animals are competing for food and space. We, as human beings, are also to be blamed for encroaching into their natural habitats. If you go to Narok, you will see houses erected in those habitats. We, as Kenyans, are to blame for what is happening. I wish the Senate was tasked with the duty of preparing the budget. The first thing we need to do with the national budget, which Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said benefits the national Government, is to ensure that there is ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: I wish we, in the Mediation Committee, could force the Members of the National Assembly to ensure that they set aside some amount of money to create a fund for compensating people who are killed and their crops destroyed by these animals. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, recently the President said that all pending bills must be paid. Those are also part of the pending bills. Compensate those who have been killed by wild animals and we will know that you are not preaching wine and drinking water. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition. However, from the onset, I welcome the students from Bungoma. I encourage them to visit the Senate and the other House of Parliament so that they can aspire to be here in future. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the Petition, I am a little bit baffled. My take will be completely different. Failing an exam does not mean it is the end of the world for a person. It will be ridiculous for us to encourage failure. When you look at the panel that marks the exams ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Personally, I feel that there has to be a different entity that sets examinations. If the petitioners argue that they started failing when examinations started being set by the Council of Legal Education, then we have to find out if the examinations that used to be set by the KSL were accurate or if there was any favouritism. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: We also went to colleges and sat for examinations. Even the examinations done in primary and secondary schools are not set by the same schools. There is an entity tasked with setting examinations. So, we have to be careful. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: I know there are issues being raised by the petitioners in terms of auditing the finances but that is the work of the Auditor-General. I am also aware that there is an audit being carried out after the former Director of the KSL, Prof. PLO, left and the new director took office. They invited people to carry out a forensic audit of the finances. So, we have to separate the two. Are the students failing because they did not prepare or are they failing because there is some sort of a cartel movement that wants to be responsible for who ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge Members of the committee that you will task with this Petition, which is likely to be the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, to look at the issues critically. Let them audit the process of carrying out the examinations. They should find out if the process is fair and sound or if it should be carried out by the KSL. view
