• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to extend a warm welcome to the boys from Medina High School. I notice that the Senator for 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
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Chair and Vice Chair of a committee are almost inseparable. The Chair of the Committee on Finance and Budget has read the report of the Committee. Is it in order for the Vice Chair of the same committee to rise and oppose when he had an opportunity to do that within the Committee? He is the Vice Chair of the committee, unless he wants to be an ordinary Member. He cannot come here and oppose his Chair on the Floor. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. There is a mood in the House and it is coming out clearly that this Report needs to be either amended or sent back to the Committee. We are recruiting on behalf of county governments and if I was doing that, I would look for someone who understands devolution, counties and how they operate. I would look for someone who understands Parliament and particularly the role of the Senate in protecting the interests of counties. I would look for someone who understands the challenges that the SRC has gone through in the last six ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your ruling. Allow me in just one minute to pay gratitude to Sen. Wetangula who has led the minority side for five years going into six years. In the first Senate in the new Constitution, Sen. Wetangula played the role of the Senate Minority Leader which was unprecedented. It was a job that did not have a job description in this Republic. For those of us who were in the last Parliament, we are confident that Sen. Wetangula played his best. He did very well for the Senate and for the minority side. As ... view

• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you might want to order for expunging of that response from the HANSARD because it might not paint the Senate in very positive light. The Chairperson is responding as if this is an overdue statement, yet, it has just been requested for. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to also go on record regarding this Bill. I congratulate the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Murkomen, for very speedily coming up with this Bill. The media reporting on this Bill has mostly focused on the issue of the assumption of office of the deputy governor in the event that there is a vacancy in that office. The provision of legal framework for assumption of office of governor by the deputy governor and the appointment of a new deputy governor is the Clause that has elicited a lot of media attention. This Bill ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was getting a bit emotional because I know you are passionate about education. The unpopularity is automatic the day after your election. The failure of the Senators and MCAs is what I would call an expectation failure; huge expectations that cannot be delivered. Consequently, you will always find a situation where members of the public will attempt to recall MCAs. We must allow members of the public the opportunity to change their minds about the people they elected. Nevertheless, it should not be something that people are holding against your neck that, if you cannot ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in welcoming the delegations from the two counties and also the one from Uganda. I would have trouble at home if I did not welcome the Ugandan delegation. I went to Uganda with a suitcase and I came back with a wife, children, two degrees and a lot of experience. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in Senate: I spent seven good years of my professional life in Uganda. I am married to a lovely lady whose parents one comes from Gulu and the other one from Jesa in Buganda land. So, Uganda is very much home for me; they are my bakois, which means in-laws. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a lot that we can learn from Uganda. We tend to think that Kenya is a big brother or a big superpower. However, even in parliamentary practice, you will realise that what Uganda has done when it comes to the budgeting process, it is something that Kenya ... view
