• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I want to finish by saying that everyone was watching the process of mediation. Our counties need money. The Senate has gone low by accepting what they have discussed and we have passed the money that needs to go to the counties. We are here to support devolution and we are waiting for devolution. Just to finish, let us be calm and wait for the ruling and we shall support what you will have for us. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the County Allocation Revenue Bill. It is very unfortunate that we are discussing about this Bill when we have already allowed ourselves to vote towards the Bill. We did this because we were thinking about how our people are suffering, how they will be miserable, and how the facilities are going to be deplorable. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, would you mind protecting me from consultations by the host Senator? view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the systems that have been put in place by the current Constitution are weak; they are not giving us much to yield from this particular Bill. If you look at the Senators, we are worried because devolution might die in our hands. We should not allow devolution to perish in our hands. It is for this reason that I say all the illegalities that have been witnessed in the past few days regarding the National Assembly and this Bill should be condemned. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: After five years from now, all of us here will go back to ask for votes from the electorate and those votes are going to be found in devolved units. These devolved units are the ones that we are supposed to empower. There are some people right now who are enjoying the comfort zone of dividing the money meant for the people that are supposed to be facilitated; they are enjoying frustrating the people. They are enjoying frustrating devolution plus the people who voted for them. It is in this regard that I dare say that anybody who will be ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I say this with pain. When we celebrated this Constitution, we did so saying that we were achieving, whereas we were losing. We shall not allow that, as a House. Let us vote for this Bill, but with a coma saying that, ―Next time, we shall not be the same;‖ because financial Bills are passed every year. We are going to stand with our heads tall. If you come home and you are in the National Assembly, and you killed this Bill, the same shall happen to you. Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. I would like to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for coming up with this Statement. As my colleagues have said, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve is one of the champions who have worked very hard for people who are living with disabilities. This is something that one needs to identify with, especially when you are playing a role in that particular area. On the Deaf awareness month, as Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has said, which is running from 23rd to 29th, is a very important month ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: I thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, the sponsor of this Statement. The week lies in the month, and it is good that we shall all be celebrating and joining the deaf in this month. Madam Temporary Speaker, I was saying that for most Kenyans, lack of hearing as well as the complications that come with this particular disability is one of those problems whereby if you are not affected, then you are infected. Everyone needs to join hands in assisting this particular category of people. As rightly said by my colleagues, the Government needs to continue urging and assisting these particular ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo regarding this act that is happening in South Africa. What is happening in South Africa is barbaric, primitive, uncivilized and should be condemned in the strongest terms possible. Just like any other country in Africa that is hosting people in its own country, many countries are hosting South African citizens, possibly for social purposes, education, investment, marriage or any other reason. It is very primitive when you see the acts my colleagues are describing, what we have seen on social media and ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Xenophobic attacks have frayed relationships among neighbouring countries. It is really worrying. Madam Temporary Speaker, South Africa needs to be taught a lesson so that they can learn. Who said that citizens of South Africa are special? Who said that somebody is stealing their jobs? Who said that South Africa is more special than other countries in Africa? Why do they involve themselves in xenophobic attacks? People tour South Africa and they make the economy to grow. People who go to study there make the country to grow economically. It has been witnessed that the economy of South African has ... view
