• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: A point of information from my student of Moi University, I will take. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you. I just want to mention that the information is a little bit confusing for my students. It is confusing because it is true that there are governance issues, not just in Moi University, but in all universities in Kenya as we are talking. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: It is okay they can inform me. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: My students are even confusing it further, but I am going to help them, because I am in the Senate Standing Committee on Education. We want to make things clear, because there are things that are governance issues, which exist in any university, and we cannot deny. Once upon a time, I was a Minister in the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology. During my time, President Kibaki started 15 universities. Of the 15 universities, the one that was started is Jaramogi Odinga, the vice-chancellor was from the village. The one that was started in Kitui, where my other ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: So, let us not see the tribe because, if somebody says I oversaw tribal installations, it actually happened at that time that people who went back home for interviews, for instance when you talk of Masinde Muliro University, the people who went home for interviews are actually from the neighbourhood. We did not mind, as long as the Chairman of the Council was from outside. These universities came to prominence. However, I love my students because they love their university. They would not be talking if they did not love Moi University. So, for that, I really appreciate their comments. ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I have one question for Hon. Mutuse, on the witness by the name Peterson Njomo Muchira, who swore an affidavit that touches on Olive Garden Hotel. He offered himself to appear and be cross-examined on the content of his affidavit. Was he invited? view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to support the Motion on the report from the Pan-African Parliament (PAP). As has been mentioned by our Chair and able leader of the delegation the Hon. Sen. Mungatana, MGH, I am a Member of this delegation. I really appreciate the work that goes on in the PAP. It is out of the coming together of the African nations that we can realise the real development of the continent. As it was mentioned by Sen. Mumma, it is surprising that the boundaries that we have today have disadvantaged the continent more ... view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: were established by colonialists and not by ourselves. Families were separated due to this. These boundaries are either roads, rivers, or lakes. They make absolutely no sense. One good example is the river that divides Uganda and Kenya which divided the Awori family. We had our own former Vice-President Moody Awori on the Kenyan side. At the same time, he was Vice-President, there was a Minister in Uganda called Aggrey Awori. They were brothers from the same father and mother following one another in birth. However, the river divided their land and this resulted in some being Ugandans and others ... view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a modern law that has come on agriculture. I hope as a House, we will be able to adopt and cause our own laws to be changed. We are happy that Esther Passaris, a member of the PAP is also a member of the Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, Aquaculture and Rural Development. She will table the modern law and transmit it to this House. Once it comes to this House, we will use it to amend the law. We know agriculture is predominantly devolved and this is the House that should make decisions. Therefore, ... view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: With those remarks, I beg to support. view
