• 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

• 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: 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. Therefore, what is the problem if I eat it?” The essence was to take more money to the counties. This money would have ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairperson of the Committee for reading that statement. Whereas, in theory the process of seeking Government jobs or tenders has improved, in reality youth, women and persons with disabilities still face challenges. One of challenges is late payment for jobs done. I would like to find out from the Chairperson of the Committee whether there is an agreed upon duration that jobs that have been completed should be paid? Is there an agree upon duration--- view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wanted to contribute in sheng but I studied your demeanour and I knew I will be in trouble for misdeamenour because The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Chair of the Committee for the detailed response. I just need some few clarifications. We have been informed that the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits that were procured during the last General election are obsolete because the batteries had a three year life- cycle. This means that these BVR kits will not be used in the next elections. I therefore would like to get some clarifications whether the IEBC has a budget and whether it has been allocated funds to replace these BVR kits. Also, considering that it is less ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Bomet for bringing this Bill to the House. It is a well thought out Bill, very relevant and its intention is to give life to Article 57 of the Constitution. There are those people who think that this Senate is a House of old men. Today, when we are discussing a Bill on elderly persons, they would assume that today is the day we are doing our job. I want to put them to shame and tell them that this House is not an old men’s home, the old men’s home ... view
