• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge you that this is an unfortunate case, and this House should take a very firm position on it. You should direct that the Committee on Health should step in immediately so that we can save other Annettes in Wajir, Uasin Gishu, Baringo and everywhere else. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker Sir. Is it in order for the Senate Majority Leader, who is speaking very well on the excesses of the Executive, to arrogate himself the same excess by purporting to give a license to Sen. Dullo and Sen. Halake to speak against the Government? Under what authority does he have the capacity to license Members to speak in this House? view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support Sen. Halake’s Statement. Kenyans sighed with relief when the new Constitution was promulgated. They believed that injustices were going to be corrected and that no more injustices would be meted on Kenyans. If you look around the country, you will realise that a few individuals appropriated public land and community land to themselves. That has happened in Laikipia, Isiolo, Taita-Taveta, the entire Coast region and the Rift Valley. Those people gave themselves title deeds and transformed themselves and their families to multi- billionaires from street workers. Today, we have been told of the problem in ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: The Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations was in Isiolo and Sen. Dullo showed us military installations around Isiolo Town. One wonders why the military should not put their houses and groups under one roof so as to allow the communities to use the land for grazing, having in mind that Isiolo has a fragile ecosystem. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Sen. Orengo raised an issue on justice. We spoke about it in Kitui but it is important to repeat that our visit to the prison in Kitui was a telling story on how the criminal justice system in this country has completely collapsed. It is not working. You cannot explain how somebody can be in pre-trial remand on a petty case of possession of view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: or theft of a goat for three years and when the cases are over, nobody takes into account the pre-trial remand. 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
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: In the scandalous case of Chicken Gate, the evidence and witnesses that were used in a court in England came from Kenya and that court found the perpetrator and his son to be guilty and they were jailed for seven years. They have served their sentences and are now at home. In Kenya, the case has not even started. Our investigations helped England convict those criminals. They sent them to jail and confiscated their properties. The Committee that visited the prison in Kitui must have audience with the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), the Chief Justice and the Director of ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank our distinguished colleague from Wajir County for bringing this Statement. This Statement speaks to not only Northern Kenya, but all frontier counties such as Bungoma, Busia, Trans-Nzoia, West Pokot and Turkana counties which suffer the same fate. Sen. (Dr.) Ali and our colleagues from the North are complaining about passports issuance. In our counties, it is a struggle getting a national identity card. It is hard to get a national identity card in areas such as Pokot, Bungoma, and Trans Nzoia. You are required to attach copies of identity cards of your grandfathers during application. ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for raising the statement which I and Sen. Faki had lined up to make. We, in fact, visited the prison yesterday, and I want to start by commending the officers of Kitui Prison. They are knowledgeable and very hard-working officers; and they looked more humane than many prison officers I have seen, who spend most of their energy bastardizing and bullying prisoners. I saw a lot of camaraderie between prisoners and their officers. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: More importantly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we noted – and the Committee for Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, in which some of my colleagues we were with come from – that there are a lot of delays dealing with cases in this part of the country. People have been in remand for five years waiting for their cases to be tried. Some of them are petty cases, such as possession of busaa, stealing a chicken or a goat. view
