• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the topic of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) is a really sad story in Kenya. While overseas, I watched Kenyans chasing and slaughtering each other with pangas on matters of election and democracy. It was appalling. The end result of that is the fact that we have the IDPs. Having IDPs in their own country is just hard to understand. How could people be displaced in their country when the Constitution says that Kenyans can live anywhere in the country? If there is such a Constitution, how could people have been displaced? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me the chance to also add my voice to this issue. It is so unfortunate that somebody had to lose her life because somebody wanted to hide something sinister. I condole with the family of the late Sharon Otieno. It is such a sad thing for a young life to be lost like that and to make matters worse for the life that was within her. This is so beastly. I cannot begin to imagine somebody that would do such a thing. Therefore, as Mheshimiwa Sen. Pareno said, people in our society now ... view
• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for letting me give this Statement today. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 46 (2) (a), I rise to issue a statement on the cattle rustling and ongoing resultant police brutality in Isiolo county. Cattle rustling, has over the years, defied interventions from the local communities, civil society and the state. The exercise has led to great suffering of the victims. The Turkana community, living in Isiolo County are the latest victims of this vice. There was a raid and counter raid between the Samburu and Turkana communities living in Isiolo County. As a result of ... view
• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: No, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The piece of paper fell, and so, I had to get it. view
• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as much as the Members of the House have amused themselves with whatever happened, I am a professor of physics by training and I am used to teaching while moving around the classroom. view
• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: This matter is not a jovial matter that Members should be laughing about. This is a serious matter because life is being lost. Allow me to resume. I was saying that this kind of brutality has not been seen anywhere in this country even with Al Shabaab . I just do not understand why a local community should be hit with such brutal force. I am told that the conductor of this kind of brutality is an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) from Meru County. I would like to remind such an OCPD that there are many Meru people who ... view
• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance to also say a few things about the Chinse issue. The Senator for Nairobi County – we are not allowed to call him “super” but he is a great Senator – thank you for bringing up this topic. This is not only at the SGR but all over the country and it is a matter of Kenyan dignity as Sen. Cherargei said. I have been to China and the Chinese are not as civilized as we thought they were. We think that they have been civilized for 5,000 years but ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to make this statement. Pursuant to Standing Order 46 2(a) I rise to make a statement on an issue of general topical concern regarding insecurity in Turkana County that has paralyzed crude oil extraction and transportation from the county. As you may be aware, tension has been rising in Turkana County over insecurity and management of exploration, extraction and transportation of oil from the county. Residents of Turkana County on 27th June, 2018 blocked trucks from transporting crude oil from Ngamia 8 in Lokichar to Mombasa. The demonstrators demanded that ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this particular Bill. In a democratic system, it is important that the stakeholders, who are involved in an issue, are given time to air their views. Sometimes we assume that the local wananchi are not smart enough to come up with intelligent decisions. We, therefore, run into problems by making such assumptions. The idea of public participation should be encouraged. Wananchi should give their views on issues that affect them. In the civilized or Western countries, there are provisions for people to vote on a particular issue, in ... view
