We are in a national discussion and discourse on our African values and nationalism. There are many aspects to it and one of them is our African attire. I propose that we should not wear African attire for a day. We should be allowed to wear African attire whenever we feel comfortable. Most of us are so tired in this European way of dressing. We would want to come here or attend many other formal gatherings in African attire. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Statement is so timely and I support it. Most importantly, it may have the support of the ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I confirm that I pressed to speak on this particular Statement. I have interacted with the question that has been posed by the Senator for Vihiga on the specifics of the NARIGP Project that has been undertaken by the donor fund. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we might run into a risk. Sen. Cherarkey, who is sitting here, myself and others sit in the County Public Accounts Committee

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to welcome our students from Wanjohi Mixed Secondary School. For those who may not know where Wanjohi is, it is in Kipipiri Constituency, currently represented by a Member of Parliament called hon. Wanjiku Muhia, the only elected woman MP from Nyandarua County. As I welcome them, I also commend them for their exemplary performance in the last national exam. Wanjohi Mixed performed very well and their Principal Mr. Francis is seen to be doing a good job there. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally so that we are ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I congratulate the Nyandarua County Assembly; the county I represent in the Senate for this Petition they have done to the Senate. This Petition is long overdue and for the benefit of the members here today, Sasumua Dam is one that contributes about 14 or 16 per cent of all water used in Nairobi City County and managed by the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company. Part of the reason the Petition has come to the Senate is because the people of Nyandarua County, specifically Njambini area where the dam is, have always cried of ...

Kenya got Independence; treaties that were signed by the Britons in 1902. Those treaties state that the people of Nyandarua County and Njambini area are only supposed to take care of the water and not use it. The Kenoike Dam is also in Nyandarua County and serves to a big percentage the residents of Nakuru County. While we want to say that we are our brothers’ keepers and support other counties because we have the natural resources from our county. It is only fair even as we share the resources that we have. It is not right to ask for ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know why Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has clapped loudly. He rarely gets those kinds of accolades because he rarely does good things, but it is okay. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. As my colleagues have said, the movement is important for our learning. I had an opportunity to serve in the Committee that Sen. Wafula will be serving. I served in the Committee on Public Investments and Special Funds (PICSF) for a day. I was sent there by the Majority Whip. I had my fair share of lessons from it even though it ...

Finally, I feel it is a big injustice to the people who elected the Senators who walked out. Article 1 of the Constitution states that all the sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised directly or through their elected representatives.
