• 15 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to comment on this issue, because the problem of the Talai Clan is not just a Nandi Community problem; it is, indeed, a Kenyan problem. When the leadership of the Talai Clan was exiled, many of them were sent to Lambwe Valley, which is in Suba in my county. Some of them were also sent to Mfangano Island. The intention of the colonial powers was for them to be killed by malaria from the tsetse fly or mosquitos. The footprints of the Talai in Lambwe Valley and Mfangano Island exist to date.

• 15 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for your ruling and as a Member of this House, I must submit to it. I am a signatory and one of the 16 that signed the petition that came to you. Whereas I might not agree fully with the ruling, I have no option but to submit to it and ensure that we do as directed. If the number is valid to elect, then it is valid to replace. However, it must be made very clear that Sen. Wetangula has been a leading light in this country and the NASA Coalition up to ... view
• 14 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
• 14 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

• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When we started this Session, you issued a Communication from the Chair and indicated that you expected the response to statements to be signed by the Chairpersons of the Standing Committees when they bring them back to this House. However, what I have is signed by Dr. Andrew K. Tuimur, CBS, who has not been elected to this House and does not chair any committee. If you could provide guidance on that; whether this, then, is a legitimate statement that should be read before this House or not before I can query it. view
• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted us to be clear about that so that Chairpersons do not repeat the same mistake in future. I also wanted to beg for your indulgence on behalf of the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. This is because he has laboured, brought the report and read it for about five minutes. If you allow me, with your indulgence, I could just prosecute this so that he does not come back with it tomorrow. view
• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am quite disappointed with this response. I represent fishermen and I am not the only one who represents fishermen here; Sen. (Prof.) Ekal from Turkana County, Sen. Justice Madzayo and so many others are here. When we passed the Fisheries Management Act in this House in 2016 and the President signed it in March 2016, one year afterwards in March 2017, the bodies that we created – the Kenya Fisheries Service, the Kenya Fish Marketing Authority and the Kenya Fisheries Council – commenced to the process of recruitment of the Board of Directors of ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. Allow me to take this opportunity to welcome the boys from this great school in Migori. You know that the Senator for Migori County has been away for a while with your permission. What, maybe, the nation does not know is that I am the acting Senator for Migori County . view
