• 10 May 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is on two things. One is on Chairpersons who do not appear before the Senate to respond to statement requests. It is in the public domain that in the United Kingdom (UK) in the House of Lords, a Member offered to resign because he was not at his position at the time when he was expected to respond to a question. What kind of precedent are we creating in this House where since we resumed sittings, you have been calling out Chairpersons of Committees, but they do not respond and Members ... view
• 9 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that we came out feeling like victors. We did not lose because of the pitch. If anyone would come here and say that we lost because the pitch was horrible, that would be a liar. He would be like a farmer who blames his equipment. This is because there is a beautiful stadium built in Kakamega; Bukhungu Stadium. It was built using public funds that we keep sending to the counties on a regular basis. There are pockets of success but there are also pockets of despair. If I was to host a devolution ... view
• 8 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to also welcome you and other Members back from the recess. It has been reported that we have been on a five week holiday; it has not been a holiday. You mentioned some of the events that we have been involved in, not to forget that committees have also been working actively. This Petition from West Pokot County comes from a county where the Governor was a Member of this House. He was a steadfast defender of devolution and very articulate when it came to shortcomings of county governments and how they could ... view
• 8 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have previously ruled on statements. There are many statements on the Order Paper, almost 30. You have previously said that when the Member requesting for a statement is not present and the statement is ready, then the matter is either dropped or read in the House. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the people of Homa Bay County and on my personal behalf, I wish to convey deep condolences to the family of Hon. Kenneth Matiba. In Homa Bay, 60 per cent of the people are below the age of 25 and, so, I speak on behalf of people who probably did not experience the kind of difficulties that the late Hon. Kenneth Matiba, Hon. Rubia, Hon. Jaramogi and other historical figures went through. I speak for a generation that did not experience difficulties but has benefitted from the sacrifices of great men and ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to go on record on this very important Motion. The question has always been whether to build bridges or walls. For a long time we, as political leaders, have been busy building walls. As I go on record, I wish to trace some of the adventures that I have also been involved in as a politician and some of the wall building activities that I have undertaken. Shortly after my election, I was one of those who, in a joint sitting of Parliament, came in with whistles and all manner of theatrics ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: I hope that Sen. Outa will also apologise at some point because he was my partner in crime and he was more vigorous than I was in that particular activity. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have engaged in street protests and we have ‘eaten’ teargas – just to use that word – we have seen death and we have buried people. We have also faced off with the police. Many things have happened and I hope that in the spirit of reconciliation, at some point we may get an apology for all the hardships that our people have gone through. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the County I represent, Homa Bay County – which is home to more than one million great men and women – decided that the elections that ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Zawadi made a detailed request for a Statement on the Floor of this House, to which a fairly detailed response ought to have been given. My concern, which I beg your guidance on, is that there is the HANSARD and anyone looking at our proceedings five years from today will want to find out what was said. Sen. Kibiru has said what he said, which is not much. He has just said that he has talked with Sen. Zawadi. Between them, they know what the issues are, but the rest ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support The National Flag, Emblems and Names (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.8 of 2017). I support this Bill because of its intention. It seeks to amend an Act of Parliament that was enacted in 1963 to allow Kenyans to fly the flag in private or public premises on The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
