• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join you and the rest of my colleagues in sending my condolences to the family of the late hon. Suleiman Dori, Member of Parliament for Msambweni. I had the privilege of knowing him because we served in the last Parliament together. In fact, he was a Member of the Committee on Transport, Housing and Public Works, in which I was the vice Chairperson. He was a diligent, brave and straightforward Member. May Allah rest and admit him in peace and into the best of heavens, which is, view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: . For us Muslims, we all come from God and to him we will go back. As we condole with members of the family, it behooves us, as Senators of this House, to at least organize ourselves and send a small kitty to his family by paying a visit and also make a contribution. Let us stand with the family in this hour of need and distress. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also join you in welcoming the students from Friends School Kamusinga in Bungoma. When I was a young boy, we used to hear that it was one of the good schools in Kenya. I am happy that you guys went to that School yourselves. Welcome young girls. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I said ‘guys’, I meant ‘Hon. Members.’ Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy with the Statement requested Sen. (Dr.) Alice Milgo. I think that land is a big and emotive issue in this country. Kenyans will continue killing one another because of land. Land policy has not been streamlined for all these years. Implementation is the problem with the current land use policy in place. The advent of the counties has not also helped. Kenyans must learn from their experiences. We actually have so much to learn. Everybody thinks that they must have a piece of ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for bringing this statement to the Senate. Extra-judicial killings and enforced disappearances have become a norm in this country. Whereas our Constitution has a Chapter on the Bill of Rights which is very elaborate and guarantees everybody the right to life, there is something wrong in the way we enforce the law. Extra-judicial killings and enforced disappearances happen in the hands of the people who are supposed to enforce the law and protect our citizens. Secondly, crime and terrorism is there, but that ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Anti-Terrorism Unit, military unit and many others are responsible for the enforced disappearance. I hope that the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights will go to the bottom of this issue and get solutions to extra-judicial killings and enforced disappearances. The people who are supposed to safeguard Kenyans are making us insecure. It has been argued that the welfare of police officers is not well catered for, but it is not the mistake of the people who end up as victims of extra-judicial killings. I agree that the welfare of police officers needs to be looked into, but ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me thank the Chair for this Statement. Kenyans are surviving by the Grace of God. We thank God to have made it to March, 2020. We have had many challenges from the locust invasion to Corona Virus (COVID-19), terrorist attacks, a bad economy, name it. The country is facing serious dangers. Locusts, hitherto were called desert locusts and used to be known only in desert areas. We are told that what we are facing today last happened 70 years ago. Today, many parts of the world are seeing this as a weapon of mass destruction because ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This issue of terror alerts is a very important matter. Terror alerts have been coming and sometimes in a very unorthodox manner. As mentioned, as we hear about it from social media, and there is nothing that is not coupled with terror alert coming from the country to alert Kenyans. Therefore, the concern of the Member raised is that having been raised by the American Embassy, what are we doing about it? Madam Temporary Speaker, we usually take things very lightly in Kenya. This is because the information is not forthcoming to citizens from the ... view
