  • 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I must admit that sometimes, it is difficult to conceive you sitting on the Speaker’s Chair. However, because the Motion has been moved and seconded, I accept that one of the greatest debaters is, today, confined to the Speaker’s Chair. view
  • 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to get to substance of the Motion because I suspect Sen. Hassan has got something mischievous up his sleeve. I support this Motion for its content and essence. Our Constitution is very clear. Article 51 of the Constitution talks about rights of persons detained, held in custody or imprisoned. It states very clearly that anyone who is detained, held in custody or imprisoned retains all the rights and fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights except to the extent that any particular right or fundamental freedom is clearly incompatible--- view
  • 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I regard you as a brilliant and excellent debater in this House. You are like a great footballer who sometimes is difficult to imagine being a referee. It is in that context that I used that phrase. view
  • 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Getting into the substance of this Motion, I have just quoted Article 51 that talks about rights of persons detained, held in custody or imprisoned. It is obvious that the Prisons Act that was initially enacted in 1977 and the Borstal Institutions Act that was done in 1991 are clearly out of date and touch with the requirements of the new Constitution. 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
  • 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish that the petition be broadened a little bit because the Senator for Vihiga County, has narrowed it down to discrimination in Vihiga County. I wish it could go further and look into alleged discrimination of communities that live in border counties; that involves 21 counties. Secondly, the petition should also investigate the alleged discrimination of our women, particularly the young women who we marry. The petition should also go further to investigate why we cannot decentralize issuance of identity cards. If we can open bank accounts on our phones, what is so special about ... view
  • 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Leader of the Majority Party! Who has the brief to prosecute this one? Similarly this Bill is deferred to the next appropriate time. view
  • 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Next Order! view
  • 15 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite difficult to contribute to a debate once the King of Meru has made his contribution. However, I would like to start by congratulating the team that worked on the proposals that we are debating today. I also would not want to forget the secretariat. Many a times, we forget them yet they are the ones who do a lot of the heavy lifting in the background. We gave them quite a short timeframe to execute their mandate and they have done the job fairly well. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there has been a ... view
  • 15 Oct 2015 in Senate: That was this year, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
  • 15 Oct 2015 in Senate: It was around the same time that the discussion of the Division of Revenue Bill was taking place. I sat quietly and watched. I asked myself what problem there was, if the Senate has taken a position that is aimed at assisting counties and constituencies that reside in those counties. How could someone say that by taking more money to the counties; that will make someone poorer? Sometimes, our people ask; “This gazelle is not your goat.
