• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, just to rest this matter, I just want to reiterate one point. The Maa speaking people have been evicted from where they call home. Whether the land belongs to ADC or someone else has grabbed it in this country, it is something which will determine the future of the Maa community. The reason I am passionate about this is because I personally visited the people who were affected by the recent killings. For me to see a 60-year old man telling me that he will commit suicide by taking the dip medicine which he uses to wash ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I appreciate him for bringing the Statement though those are not the facts on the ground. If we continue running around, we are going to suffer. I am surprised that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government said that he is not aware that the problems there are due to land issues. I do not have the facts with me here. However, being from Narok County, having been raised there and being the Senator, I know that there is a huge tension between the Kipsigis and the Maasai communities in ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: You have to press the button. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I think the follow up question should be whether the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government in Nairobi is in touch with the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government in Narok. The most important thing is for them to provide us with facts and not just information. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Yes Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am shocked that the Senate Majority Leader can mislead this House and the public that I am only speaking on behalf of one community. Yes, I might have said that I was elected by one community but in my question, I focused on the two communities that are living in that area. I did not single out one community. It is important for the Senate Majority Leader not to mislead the public that I am only focused and concerned about my community. I am concerned about the peace of the people who live in ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not have further questions. I just need copies of those Statements. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I think it is standard practice in this House that before a Statement is issued, I should be given an advance copy so that I can be party to it. I do not think the Senate Majority Leader is in order to issue the Statement without giving me an advance copy. Could he clarify that? view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I remember very well when we were in Naivasha during the retreat, the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Treasury, stated very clearly that there is no reason as to why we should have pending bills in counties because money is disbursed as per the approval of the senate. So, I think it is high time that the Senate Majority Leader takes the business of this House seriously. What shocks me is that there are certain things that he considered to be very important – which are not – including amending laws which ought not to be amended ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, but this is very relevant because we have problems in counties. If this money is not released, then, what exactly are we doing here? Then, you say that we are going on a recess for three weeks. The Treasury says there is no reason as to why we should have pending Bills. So, we need to understand what is going on. Who is not doing his job? view
