• 26 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know this matter is very emotive. Is it in order for the Senate Majority Leader to suggest that the current Government where he is the Senate Majority Leader is violating human rights? Can he substantiate that? Can he bring it to this House for us to see that violation of human rights? One cannot stand here and say that this Government is violating human rights. Bring it here and let it be factual. The world is watching and we cannot be taken back. This is a country that has agreed to move forward. view
• 26 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is out of order for him to impute ill motives against this Government. view
• 26 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I could even say Standing Order No.1. view
• 26 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to Second the Motion that this House adopts the Report of the CPAIC on the inquiry into the financial operations of Kajiado County Executive for the Financial Year 2013/2014. One of the biggest challenges that we face in this Committee is adapting a report whose investigations were carried out by a previous House. But in the tradition of this House, I believe that the men and women who sat in this House and in this Committee then are men and women of integrity who are able to ensure that a fiduciary duty is ... view
• 26 Jul 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 55(3). I beg that the putting of the question be deferred to another day. view
• 26 Jul 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I note that I only have a few seconds, but I will try and tackle a few issues. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion by Sen. Kasanga. It is very important that we look at the whole Act in terms of management of the contractors in this country. My approach is very different. We have to amend this Act. The Act is very clear. We have to change the Act so that we create certain classes of jobs to ensure that we do not lock out local contractors. Madam Temporary ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to try and enlighten Kenyans mostly on what this Parliament is all about. I support the Statement by the Senate Majority Leader on the importance of understanding what we are doing in this country. Very often, I tend to think that many people who are in the National Assembly, do not understand what kind of Government we have in this country. It is high time that the Speaker of that House introduces a course in Political Science 101 to be able to differentiate between a presidential, parliamentary and a sort ... view
• 18 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition by my dear sister, Sen. Mary Seneta. In this whole country, there is only one person called Senator Seneta. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this issue of local content is very important and we cannot wish it away, just like that. The Turkana and Maasai are complaining. In fact, at some point, I feel as if we, the Maasai, are completely under siege. Because of lack of education, we have sold off all our land and even when these companies come to our place, they disregard our interests completely. This is ... view
• 18 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the HANSARD will bear me witness that there is nowhere I said that the Maasai should pick up spears and go fight. I said that we will pick up spears and do what we know best; we will become Morans! We will not take on any other jobs. view
• 18 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we do not defend our people, who will defend them? I want to be on record saying we must defend devolution fully. We must consider people in counties and their resources which can benefit them. The only thing we, as the Maasai nation know is that the Maasai Mara Game Reserve and our land have been taken by the foreigners. It is them who are benefitting from it and our land. This House has the ability to do what the petitioners are asking for and ensure proper legislation is in place to take care of those ... view
