• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to condole with the affected families in Mt. Elgon as well as their representative, Sen. Wetangula, who is so concerned. At such times, it hurts to hear such things happening, more so as it concerns the security of our people. Since Kenya gained Independence, we have been training police officers who graduate from the police training institutions. Therefore, we do not expect to hear or see the kind of insecurity that the people of Mt. Elgon are facing right now. It is a high time that the Government wakes up. The relevant Ministry ... view

• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have taken time to go through the responses and some of the questions have actually been answered to my satisfaction. However, I have not heard a lot coming from the Government side, considering lives have been taken and these lives will not come back. So, looking at the answers that have been given, I request the Chairperson of the Committee to revisit the question on what the Government is doing in order to drastically reduce the number of accidents at this particular spot. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support what my colleagues have ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: I am sorry; it is Salgaa and not ‘Saligaa.’ Sen. Wetangula, pronunciation depends on where one comes from. I hope you come from the same place.

• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion on the nomination of the Members of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). My colleagues have already spoken on the mandate that our nominated commissioners are going to undertake. However, my opinion is that the nominees should look into the welfare of our staff and especially the catering staff. When being served by our catering staff, I normally look at their uniform and it does not please me at all. The staff needs to be decent when serving us and therefore need to be considered when it comes to their ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We look forward to seeing Sen. Cheruiyot being the best Senator and commissioner. We are going to vote for him and therefore, if he could hear what I am going to send him to do there, then it can be well placed. In addition, I want Sen. Cheruiyot to be attentive. Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the security of our offices, it is very relaxed especially where some of us are hosted at the Red Cross Building. You cannot differentiate between a common mwananchi who is passing by and Members of Parliament as everyone is ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the Petition. However, I beg to differ with the prayers of the petitioner because if you look at the coat of arms as it is, for us as Kenyans, it is history. We need to respect our fore leaders and all those who designed how the coat of arms would look like with all its colours. This was work of art that was borne at the back of somebody’s mind. It is great people who came up with the design for the Kenyan coat of arms. So, let us value history and the ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.46 (2)(b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation regarding the rampant road accidents on the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, two weeks might be long regarding this Statement because lives have been lost and more are being lost. Also, this is a rampant situation in this particular spot. So, two weeks might be long considering that the Senate has a Committee that can work on the same. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Kenya today when we talk about deaths by police officers, it looks like we are going back to history because currently in our Constitution the Kenya Police Force name was changed to Kenya Police Service and we expect the police service to do a service to Kenyans, instead of applying force on our Kenyan citizens. In our Constitution, we have various commissions that are mandated to look at such incidences where a crime is committed by police officers. view
