Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you Leader of Minority. At least that has vindicated the RBC. Another role of this Committee is to monitor and oversee the implementation of Senate business and programmes. In my one year in this Senate, I still feel that there is a lot that needs to be done to see to it that Senate Business and programs are followed up and properly implemented.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you exhorted us to reflect on our role as a Senate. Until today, I believe that our role will be the House that offers a sober second thought on matters of national importance. That underpins our aspirations to be considered the “upper” House in this nation. What we have demonstrated today is that just like the other House that we are so critical about; we are just another House that votes under the influence of ugali . There is nothing that differentiates us from the other people. We rely on the Auditor-General to give us reports ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also support the Motion for Adjournment in honour of the Pope. It would have been more proper for us to adjourn and head to State House, but because this is a House of records, I wish to go on record that I supported this Motion. I consider the Pope to be a great man and as a nation we will learn from his humility. We have got a lot of differences as a nation. There are those of us who have the opinion that certain things could be done better, but I urge the entire ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on Tuesday, 15th September, 2015, I received a statement in response to a request that I had made. The statement was on the issue of national identity cards, but it was not satisfactory because it did not address the specific issue on the status of digital national identity card project. The Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations gave a indication then that precise feedback would be given in two weeks’ time. I seek your guidance because we are almost going on recess and this matter has not been addressed properly yet it ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to speak on the Bill. I wish to start by congratulating Sen. Musila for coming up with this amendment to the KNEC Act. Sen. Musila and I have just come from a Special Committee of this House that he chaired. He proved to be very meticulous, punctual and very detailed person. I am not surprised that he is the one responsible for this amendment. I also wish to convey my success wishes to the 900,000 candidates who started their KCPE today. In the olden days, we used to send success ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I was illustrating the impersonation that goes on with academic certificates. This used to happen a lot in the villages. For instance, we used to know that the name that he uses in the payroll is different from the name people call him because he had adopted someone else’s certificates. Having a photo on that certificate could go a step further to help in dealing with that impersonation.
