• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairperson for the detailed response. However, I would like to seek clarification on two issues. The Chairperson has indicated that the Commission has received complaints regarding the recruitment exercise. I would like to find out how many of the complaints relate to bribery or corruption. I have received complaints from young men and women who attempted to join the police force through this recruitment and it was clearly indicated to them that if they did not have Kshs200,000, they would not join the police force. I would also like the Chairperson to clarify to ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I wish to congratulate and thank the Mover of the Bill, Sen. Sijeny. We are aware that many attempts have been made to deal with the issues that Sen. Sijeny has brought before this House. Many of them have not succeeded partly because of the jingoism that many political leaders in this country have and partly because of the attitudes that we have towards the implementation of the new Constitution. I support this Bill for two reasons; the first one is because the Constitution ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the older they get, the younger they want to be. So, you are safe if you do not allude to age on their part. My argument is that women should not look forward to tokenism and favours. We know that they have been left behind historically but tokens will not propel them to that level. We live with ladies. My wife is more educated and qualified professionally than I am. She has transcended that mental bondage that she is a woman. She sees herself as an individual and a human being who is capable and competent ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes when you have tough subjects involving legal minds and experienced legislators like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you need a fisherman like me who is experienced in disentangling nets. I see two things here. Is this Bill properly in the House or this is an exercise in futility? I agree with you that on the question of whether this is an exercise in futility, we are being pre-emptive. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as to whether the Bill is in the House properly, when I look in the Constitution and Standing Orders, I see sections which oblige the Speakers of both Houses to do certain things before a Bill comes to this House. I want to assume that, that was done. Of course, the wording of the Constitution says that whether it concerns county Governments or special or ordinary Bill; I want to believe that this Bill was subjected to Article 110(3) of the Constitution. Secondly, our Standing Order No.117 talks about introduction of Bills; what must be done ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the fisherman does not like to be presumptuous or to pre-empt things. History will judge us as a House that considered this matter and either agreed or disagreed with it. When I read the mood of the House, we are generally in support of this Bill. We cannot predict what will happen in the other House. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join you and the House to welcome the delegation from Egerton University. It could just be a matter of coincidence that the group that came was drawn from only one county. That was not meant to represent some divisions within the University. When we were in the university, and not so long ago--- view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: I am very well guided, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to tell the young men and women sitting up there that when we were at the university which was not too long ago, we did not have differences amongst us depending on where one came from. It is unfortunate that once we leave the university, we start imposing some of those differences which are really artificial. I encourage the young men and women at the university to ensure they live the spirit of nationalism. They should look at Kenya as a country not as a collection of counties or ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I would want to ride on that request for a statement. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education should also explain the rationale of banning fees payment using electronic means like Mpesa and how that relates to the government’s digital ambitions as stated by the Jubilee administration. view
