• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Kitui County has brought a very important Statement. I congratulate the CS in the Ministry of Health because he has done a good job so far in updating Kenyans on the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, he has told Kenyans what and what not to do to avoid this pandemic. However, some of the measures must be taken within the context of the provisions of the Constitution and the law. We all know that towns like Kikuyu, Kiambu, Thika, Machakos, Kitengela up to Kajiado are the bedrooms of Nairobi. Many people work in Nairobi, but ... view

• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: been limited, including but not limited to the police wielding unreasonable force on Kenyans whenever they are found outside in the curfew time. Thank you. view
• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May I also join my colleagues in sending our condolences to the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet and West Pokot, who are our neighbours. Seeing the pictures of what was happening was very disheartening. Disasters do happen even in very developed countries. However, how we handle them is what defines us as a nation. I am not quite sure that the disaster in West Pokot and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties has received the attention that it deserves. I have said over and over again that we have a fairly large army in this country. We have not had any ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What happened to our deceased brother in Siaya County is abhorrent and disgusting. In the community where you and I come from, we revere the dead more than the living. We cannot allow this kind of barbaric behavior in sending off our loved ones. I do not speak for the Ministry, but I want to inform the distinguished Senator for Siaya County that the first victim of COVID-19, Engineer Namiinda, came from our area. When I consulted the Ministry, they gave us clear directions. They quarantined the family until such a time when they tested ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are speaking as Senators representing our counties and not as Members of committees. I want to support the views of my Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget, the distinguished Senator for Mandera County. I will be very brief. 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
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) and the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) are very distinct in law and under the Constitution. I do not understand how anybody can purport to allocate money to a county and take it away in the Division of Revenue Bill. That is only in the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. That is why the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget has said that we recommend that this House passes this Bill and that at the next stage, we must amend to remove this misguided removal of money from ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: We want to urge that accountability should be heightened at this time. This is the time when people take leave of their senses, think nobody is watching them and start spending money recklessly. 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
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Lastly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support the Senate Majority Leader in his cry about the castration of the Houses of Parliament. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when Martin Shikuku once said exactly what Sen. Murkomen said, he was taken to Kamiti Maximum Security Prison and kept there until he came out crippled. Today, things are different. I want to urge you not to just speak. Since you hold a position of responsibility, show the way. Parliament is now an ox; it has been castrated. You are the people who always bring Bills here to force everybody to rubberstamp decisions of the Executive. We want to see change that makes sense, which restore Kenya to its constitutional responsibility, its constitutionalism and the right of ... view
