• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was requesting for your direction because I sought a Statement in March and to date, that Statement has not been issued. It does not appear on the Order Paper yet I was gracious enough to give the Committee one month to compile the answers and now we are talking of several months down the line. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this was the Senate Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations with respect to the national security project being undertaken by Safaricom. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this amendment. It is not long when we passed certain amendments to this Act. At that time, we were redefining the threshold for funding of political parties. What surprises me is that when you look at the bulk of legislative business that we have in this country, this is one Act that has attracted a lot of amendments.

• 5 May 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wanted to ride on the statement request by Sen. Khaniri, considering that Homa Bay County is one of the counties that are blessed with cotton soil. The Committee should apprise this House on the measures that have been taken by the Government to revive the cotton sector in this country, particularly in Homa Bay County. view

Previously in this Senate, we have rejected reports from the media – newspapers and television – as a basis of any solid evidence.

• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to support this Motion. From the time I got to this House, I have wondered why we set up a Senate such as this one. It is even more curious that some of the drafters of this Constitution are eminent Members of this House. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: When I look at the majority membership of this House, they are people who in one way or the other were involved in drafting the current Constitution. It is on that basis that the populace saw them as senior politicians befitting the honour of sitting in this House. Sometimes I wonder whether someone put something in their drink when they were making the final decision in Naivasha. I hear that it is in Naivasha that the decision to water down the powers of the Senate was arrived at. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: In my view, we do not need the Senate as presently constituted and defined in the Constitution. We would rather scrap the Senate and forget about it. We would rather go to the counties, get the majority leaders from county assemblies to sit in one place in Nairobi and task them with the duty to protect and defend the interests of the counties. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: There is no need for someone to campaign in an entire county, similar to what the governor is doing, then after that, they come to Nairobi and they are told that their job is to sit and do some very peripheral work. As presently constituted, we are better off scrapping the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
