• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is the Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) that undertakes research on various issues in the agricultural sector. If it suits the Senator who requested for reference on research on soil samples, the Committee could retreat and get these references from KALRO. view
• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when the President read his Speech, I put on my best behavior. I did not come with a whistle because I thought and believed that the President was going to tell Kenyans something tangible and substantial about how the Jubilee Administration has realized the national values espoused in Article 10 of the Constitution. The Speech was in very good English. The President went to St. Mary’s School, therefore, it is expected that his English is good. However, it is full of alternative facts. It is full of statements that cannot be verified. Article 10 of the Constitution ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is rightly observed. Perhaps at the conclusion of my analysis of the President’s Speech, it will come clear to my dear colleague, Sen. Wangari, why we believe that there is a conspiracy to defeat the will of the people and frustrate independent bodies. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have heard governors being called names that if it was in Parliament it would be un-parliamentary. We are not asking for too much from the Head of State. We are asking him to--- view
• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I believe that the Government of Kenya resides at State House or the Head of the Government of Kenya resides at State House. It is on public record that when the Auditor-General went to State House for an anti-corruption summit he received tongue lashing that indicated that the Executive was not happy with his activities. Allow me just to look at other aspects of the President’s Speech so that this point comes out clearly. We must stop this harassment of governors. Even if you do not like them, you must find a way of living ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. We must point out the alternative facts in the President’s Speech. He talks of roads, thousands of kilometers 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
• 1 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to congratulate Sen. Sang for bringing this weighty matter to the attention of this House. From the petition, some of the Talais were sent to my county and particularly the areas of Gwassi, Lambwe and Mfangano. The intention was to make sure that they died due to theTsetse fly menace. Consequently, it is very difficult, when you go to Gwassi, to find remnants of the Talai. Even if you go Mfangano, they are very few, if indeed they are still there. So, this is a case where there was collective condemnation of ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also commend the member of the public who has brought this Petition. It is noteworthy that that Assembly escalated such issues to this House and I would not be surprised if Members of the Cabinet decide to petition this House. It just shows you the level of impunity that is there at the local level. My concern is on our processing of the Auditor-General’s reports as a Senate. It is not all the counties where the 2013/2014 reports have been adopted by this House. Even where the reports have been adopted, there are recommendations that ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take a different view from my colleagues. I thank this particular petitioner, Mr. Ogot, for bringing this Petition. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, every dark cloud has a silver lining. We have seen the trend globally that marijuana is now being exploited for some benefits beyond the smoking and intoxication. We have seen the rise of medicinal cannabis and we have seen the use of other drugs for their industrial properties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I encourage the committee that will be looking at this to look at the matter with an open mind. In the ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Tonga High School lies in a place called Magunga. That is the centre of Gwasi which is an area where marijuana was not planted by human beings but it is a weed. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was giving an example of a situation where you have put in place all the controls and laws and rules but the plant just grows from the earth. view
