• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was advocating that old people should consume. I advise old people not to listen to the advice from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who is a Senator and a Member of this House, because if you start consuming chang’aa and busaa in retirement, you will definitely die. If you want to do it in retirement, then start it early and not after you have retired. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one thing that we have not remembered to bring up in the debate as we talk about teachers and their payment is that earlier this year, Justice Janet Mulwa ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, DNA came recently. So, we have been using physical attributes to trace parenthood, but that was on a light note. We might need to rationalize and standardize that definition of old persons. There is an Act in this country called the Social Assistance Act of 2013. This Act set up an authority called the National Social Assistance Authority. I do not know what they do or their address and even if you look around to find out whether this has been set up, it is not very clear. This sometimes tells you that we can come ... view
• 24 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement on this matter is not ready. However, I undertake to follow it up and have it issued in the next two weeks. view
• 24 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In the English language, there is a word called “absconding” which refers to a situation where a leader or someone gives up a job that they have been given to do. Would I be in order, in light of the fact that the Senate Majority Leader is not here and the President is also not in the country to say that the Jubilee Government has abdicated and absconded duty? view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Chairman of the Education Committee for bringing the statement at short notice. We expected it to come yesterday, but we debated a Motion of Adjournment on the same matter. If you divide the Kshs1.3 billion with the 260,000 teachers, it comes to about Kshs4,000, per teacher. This is really a pittance. We are already paying village elders, old people all over the country such an amount and yet we find it difficult to pay our teachers this amount. I just want to find out from the Chairman of the Committee ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairman of the Committee for bringing this report to the House. I would like to share a personal experience on this matter. I have young people from my county who received letters of admission to the KMTC through the KUCCPS and others who received letters through KMTC. The parents of these children were very excited. Everyone wants their children to undertake a course as noble as medical studies. The process of raising fees to take these children to school and mobilizing resources is lengthy and laborious. We, as Senators, and elected leaders, get ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Mover of the Motion; the indefatigable and ever fresh, Sen. Mama Zipporah Kittony who seems to have discovered the secret to long life and beauty which some for us have failled to discover. I claim no expertise on transport matters; I am basically a Senator representing the fishermen and farmers of Homa Bay County. However, in seconding this Motion, am coming from a background where I went to school in Nairobi. I was born in the bushes and villages of Mbita in Homa Bay County, but at some point, I was lucky enough ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: which were quite shambolic. It reached a time when we had to rely on trains managed and operated by Kenya Railways to avoid traffic. When you see Kenyans hanging on those trains as if they have no dignity, it is because they do not have any other means. It is because to sit in a matatu or in a bus in peak time traffic at 5.00 p.m. is a complete waste of resources and energy. In fact, I look forward to the day when someone will draw a relationship between decongestion in Nairobi and marital problems in this city. By ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairperson of the Committee for the detailed response and for the data that has been laid on the Table of this House. One of the questions that I sought a clarification on was the status of the new generation IDs project. I did not ask about the budgetary allocation but the status and update on this project. If we are not careful about this project, it might end up being like the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) issue that confronted this nation prior to the last general election where Kenyans were confronted with a ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: That is okay. view
