• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it has been said that data is the next frontier, the next fuel and the next gold mine. I do not get impressed much by British Prime Ministers, but I was quite impressed when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom went to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), and instead of talking about the war in Syria, the situation in Iraq, the situation in China and the problems with India; he talked about a future driven by data technology. This is data technology which demands greater openness, a future where governments, open governance frameworks and ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: heading into that generation and future. Open governance, data-driven decisions and processes are things that we need to be embrace. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Finally, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I noticed that this report talks about an event that is clearly way in the past; if this is what happened in the Republic of Georgia between 17th and 19th July, 2018. It is about one year ago. I have previously talked about whether reports on Committee visits need to come to this House for debate. I have seen what happens in other Parliaments is that when a Committee does a foreign visit, it will bring a report. However, that report will be served to the House in the form of a Statement. This is ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Finally again, these foreign visits are a form of parliamentary diplomacy. As a Senate and as Parliament, we need to have some very in-depth review of our parliamentary diplomacy and whether it works. We have seen some very embarrassing situations whenever we travel, where what was supposed to be parliamentary diplomacy ends up being something akin to parliamentary insult, because of issues of cultural differences, etiquette or sometimes lack of understanding and poor preparedness on the part of the delegation coming from Parliament. However, looking at this report, I am convinced that the delegation was very well prepared, and that ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion on the Report of the Parliament of Kenya delegation to the IPU and Related Meetings. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have not taken the opportunity before - even though my colleagues have done so – allow me to take this opportunity to congratulate Sen. Kihika on her election to be the President of the Bureau of the Forum for Women. I hope the people of Nakuru County understand the importance of this position. It is not just the people of Nakuru County, but also the women of Kenya and the people of Kenya. This is an extremely influential and important role that Sen. Kihika is performing on behalf of the people of Kenya. I hope ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: meetings, she is discharging a mandate that is much bigger than Nakuru, Kenya and Africa. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Being President of the Bureau of the Forum for Women which brings together 179 member States is no mean task. Doing so in an organisation that is 130 years old makes it even much more of a rare opportunity. I, therefore, congratulate her. I also take this opportunity to congratulate my friend and my running mate Hon. Patrick Mariro who was also appointed the Third Country-Rapporteur in the Standing Committee on Sustainable Development, Finance and Trade. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it appears there is something about these people who love running because Hon. Maurine Osoru, a young Member of Parliament ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: I congratulate her on being elected President of the Board of the Forum of Young Parliamentarians. I hope no one will ask why I know so much about Moreno Soru. All we share is a love for athletics. We also go for EALA Games to deepen and widen integration. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the delegation that went for this meeting was 19 Member strong. It was led by the Speaker of the House who is also an Executive Committee Member. I believe that Kenya has a very enviable position in the IPU. I said it earlier that these are forms ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: When we go to these global events, where we are sitting with people from 178 other countries, we are there representing Kenya and not ourselves. Sometimes the manner in which parliamentary delegations to these very important events are treated leaves a lot to be desired. You will find sometimes even the Speaker of the House arrives in a foreign country and has to organise ubers to take him to the meetings. You will find hon. Members of Parliament representing the country getting into those countries and even our ambassadors are nowhere to be seen. view
