• 14 Jun 2018 in Senate: As I was saying, if you take the report of the Controller of Budget and look at the last five years, you will be astonished at the amount of money which was used by The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Petition that I support. Coming from Narok, I know that the defunct Narok County Council used to contribute 19 per cent of the revenue collected from the Maasai Mara Game Reserve to the communities surrounding the game park. Over time, those communities came together and formed their own private conservancies. We now have other community conservancies and I agree with Sen. Halake that they need to be given a lot of support. One of the roles of the conservancies is to support education. ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this particular issue of the water towers. During the debate on the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 14 of 2018), I raised my reservations. Even though I voted for the Bill, I did it with a very heavy heart because the Mau Forest was left out. I do not know why we become selective in protecting certain parts of the country and leaving other parts. We have a very serious problem in this country. Any time it rains, because of the destruction of the ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my opinion is that if our country cannot defend its own citizens because the military of Uganda, which is a neighbouring country that we love laid ambush on people who are supposed to be protecting us, then what are we supposed to do? It is very sad. The newspapers reported that they were ambushed by the military. If the Government and the national security organs really care about Kenyans in Siaya County, then they should send the military so that the military faces another military. We are talking about Migingo, which I think is a 2,000 ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: It is a small area which is densely populated. It is not even an acre. I am sorry about that. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: However, I am baffled, shocked and at a loss for words. We do not care about our Kenyan citizens. Let us not lie. We only care about corruption and protecting certain interests. The people in Siaya County are also human beings and they have to make a living. The newspapers reported that they were about seven. I remember last year there were 17 Kenyans who were arrested and detained in Uganda for quite a long time. Why are we--- view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this very important Bill. In fact, this is the kind of legislation that we ought to be developing because, from the outset, they promote devolution. It is shameful that since we devolved or established the 47 counties, many of these counties keep coming to Nairobi to publish their Bills. I dare say that many of these counties are actually implementing laws that have not been published. This is contrary to what the County Government Act and the Constitution, particularly, Article 199, require us to do. Article ... view

• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. When I saw this Statement on the Order Paper I called the Senator and was perplexed. We will spend US$5 million, when you do the mathematics, to import only 30 buses. That is about Kshs17 million per bus, which is about US$170,000. By this action, we are indeed negating the Big Four Agenda and I thank the Senator for talking about it. Instead of creating jobs locally and building our manufacturing sector, we are now obsessed with things from outside. When will we ever look at ourselves and say that we can build our manufacturing ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this important matter. We all know that losing someone you love so much, for you to move on with your life, you need closure. I wonder what goes on in the minds of the family members of those people who are disappearing in Mombasa. About four weeks ago, the son of the former Minister for Internal Security, Mr. Julius Sunkuli, disappeared on 8th May. He was found dead in another county twenty days later. Everywhere you go in this country, you hear stories of people and grown ... view
