• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to second this adjournment Motion. In looking for consensus, one must be ready to take a very painstaking process. Tomorrow, we will be burying one of the most skillful negotiators for peace in this region, the former President of Tanzania, His Excellency Benjamin Mkapa. I do recall when we went to Dar es Salaam to discuss about peace in Burundi with the Late President Pierre Nkurunziza, who was then a rebel fighting to take over the Government. We sat with the late President Mkapa for 72 hours continuously negotiating to find a consensus. ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: has now become part of my vocabulary. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge this House that, as Sen. Orengo has said and I believe that the Senate Majority Leader has no difficulty with this, we can hold this session and have a quick vote. The majority will have their way and the minority will have had their say, but we are going to create some serious polarities in this country. I urge that in this House our most important constitutional function is division of revenue. In 1963, the late President Moi, Masinde Muliro and Ronald Ngala spent their energy ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, they are now defining the country by drawing maps. There are red and green zones. When you look at those red and green zones, it reminds you of 1963. This is not the direction I would wish us, as the second Senate in the new Constitution, to visit upon our country. I urge my younger brother, Sen. Kang’ata, because he has been displaying a bit of agitation on this matter, that we all agree that in the next Sitting, some consensus would have been built not necessarily on which formula to take, but which steps we should ... view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the history of IDPs in this country is an eyesore. We have had IDPs from the 1992/1993 politically instigated violence against citizens. We also have those of 1997, 2007 and other times. In the process, people have been violently uprooted from their properties and send away to places that they have no affinity with and they become IDPs. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: In the previous Parliament, this House dealt with issues of IDPs almost in every session. Information came to the Floor that at the time the Government had spent over Kshs25 billion to settle IDPs, it turned out in some of the inquiries we had, that the money was shared among public servants, largely leaving genuine IDPs from being settled. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: I believe this Petition will end up in the Committee chaired by the presenter of the Petition himself, the distinguished Senator for Nyandarua who is the Chair of the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources, because they are the ones dealing with the issues of settlement. In doing so, they must also bring to this House the pertinent issues raised in the Petition, where the petitioners are saying that they lost their dignity, livelihoods, homes and properties. To whom did they lose these properties? view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my colleagues like Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., can tell you that we have records of this House that showed that the bulk of the money was misappropriated and the managers of that money were public servants, not private citizens. The records are there. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: The question I am raising in relation to this Petition is that, where there were political conflicts, like in parts of Rift Valley, people fled from their properties. Eventually, peace came back to those areas. Why has the Government not enabled people to go back to their properties? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Your house may have been burnt but the land cannot be burnt. The land is there. Why has the Government not helped people to go back to their properties, or why has the Government not appropriated that land to those who want to live in those hostile areas and help those who fled acquire land elsewhere so that they can be settled? view
