• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we saw last week is an abuse of State resources and a crude display of raw authority. We saw tractors, shovels and bulldozers being used to pull down people’s homes. We are not talking about the kind of homes that you will find in Muthaiga or in Karen; the evictees are people with very humble livings. They had grass-thatched houses while some were covered with split tins of iron for people to live in. I wonder whether you saw one man who exhumed his father’s grave and took out the skull. He said that he ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: father with him. That is what those people have been visited with, and somebody must take responsibility. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: The Jubilee Government cannot be telling Kenyans that they want to provide decent housing to people, when they are demolishing the little that people have in inexplicable circumstances. You and the Senior Counsel, Sen. Orengo, are lawyers like me. How do you explain a case staying in court from 1979 to date? This is a terrible indictment to the Judiciary. The Judge or the Registrar who certified the eviction order must have looked at the history of the land in question. The case has been on-going from 1979; that is 40 years of people living in court to fight over ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure that even the people who are fighting to recover the land are not the people who sold the land to the evicted families. I agree with Gov. Sang that this is not the moment to inflame ethnic passions. This is not the moment to go to the scene of crime to start asking where so and so is. We can solve these problems without going to the scene. I urge the Senate Majority Leader, who is seated here, and appears to be agreeing with what I am saying, that he should take up ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my distinguished colleague and son from Kakamega did not get me right. I said that some leaders went there, but others do not have to go there to be part of the solution. I never said that it was wrong for anybody to go there. In fact, he walked in when I was speaking, and he may have missed what I said. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had not intended to speak until I listened to Sen. M. Kajwang’. You have said it so succinctly well, supported by Sen. Orengo. This House or any House like this will cease to exist if you sit there as a Speaker or any one of us is out there looking all over to see whether there is an injunction coming before we discuss any mater. We cannot do that. The matter before us is whether we are going the Committee route or Plenary. I do not share the school of thought that the Committee route ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I am sorry for interrupting my distinguished colleague. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, knowing the interest that we may have in discussing this matter and the time limit, allow me to move a procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order Nos.31(3)(a) and 31(4), the Senate resolves to extend its sitting until the conclusion of business listed as No.8 in today’s Order Paper. view
