• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: When people come from Migori, it is my duty to welcome them. I hope we will catch up and with your permission, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope you will allow me to buy them tea at some point. One lesson that I would like the boys and teachers from Migori to leave with from the Senate is that, even though you are in some corner of the country where you might think that Murang’a, Kiambu and Machakos counties are far, when you come to the Senate and see us sitting together, and talking to each other and not fighting each ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: The old men and women here, Sen. M.Kajwang’ and Sen. Haji included, their future is shorter than their past, but for you, your future is longer than your past. I encourage you to take that message of unity back to Migori County. Thank you. view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to tread very carefully and please stop me if a veer off. There is a matter that was ruled on yesterday that I have agonized over. This is where a Member requests for a statement and the Chairman is ready with an answer on the spot. My understating of the role of a Chair is that he chairs a committee. A Chair does not exist if there is no committee. So, when a Member requests for certain answers and the Chair offers to respond on the Floor, it then becomes out of order because the ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had earlier wanted to rise on a point of order but this is still sufficient. If this Senate finds it boring and a waste of time to discuss youth and unemployment, then what are we here for? This is happening on International Women’s day when we know that the majority of citizens of this country are women and most of them are under 18 years of age. We would rather spend time discussing the youth and unemployment rather than some of the theatrics that we have subjected this House to. I am disappointed but I believe ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of Order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be failing in my duty as a Senator if I do not talk to this matter seriously without the blinders of Jubilee and NASA. I think you must guide us in this discussion, so that we become relevant and stop talking about irrelevancies like Uhuru Park and swearing in, which has got nothing to do with disbursements to counties. All of us here are faced with contractors and employees in our counties, some of whom have not been paid salaries and governors are saying they have not received money. I am looking at Homa ... view
• 7 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a bit worried. Sen. Sakaja is obviously a very well connected Senator within Government. However, he is not in the Executive, but in the Legislature. So, when a Member requests for a statement, it is really an inquisition on Government’s policies towards certain matters. Is he purporting to be Government and has the capacity to respond on behalf of it on the Floor of this House? view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Sakaja. We also went to the same school, as the Deputy Speaker and that is why you are very good in the arrangement of English words. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to share with the distinguished Senators. Recently, we visited Washington DC with the Deputy Majority Leader. Washington DC is the capital of the United States of America (USA) and it is interesting that it does not have a Senator with voting power. It does not even have a congresswoman or congressman with voting power. Yes, it has a Senator, a congressman and congresswoman, but when ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When it is hot, we eat a lot of watermelon. I will support this Bill subject to amendments that will come to the Committee stage and at the Third Reading. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: I support. view
