• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Embu needs some lessons. If he wants audience at equity, he must go with clean hands. He arrived in the Chamber late. Ordinarily, he should have come quietly to consult with you and explained that his students are here; and to kindly be given an opportunity to welcome them although he is late. Instead, he took a wrong route and wrong Standing Order and starts to exhibit authority that he does not have. view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senator for Nakuru County has made a Statement with far-reaching ramifications on the environment. Is it in order for a Senator who has made a Statement with far-reaching ramifications on the forest cover and environment of this country to walk all over and talk to everybody instead of sitting down and listening to what the Members are commending? How is she going to respond to this matter? view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have great respect for the distinguished Senator for Nakuru County. I always call her my friend’s daughter because I served in the Seventh Parliament with her father. The statement that Sen. Kihika has made this afternoon is unfortunate, dangerous and must be resisted with all the might. Sen. Kihika has made a very fundamental statement in her request; that our canopy forest cover is two per cent. Countries like South Korea and Japan in the 1950s had a five per cent forest cover. They are now at 70 The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: per cent. Kenya is striving to build our forest cover. To lift the ban on logging is to declare war on the limited forest cover that we have in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the current budget, the European Union (EU) has given some money to 11 counties, including my county that host water towers. Each of the 11 counties had been awarded Kshs80 million per year for the next three years. When foreigners are helping us to increase our forest cover, how can we come to this House of reason and call for the lifting of the ban ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also thank the distinguished Senator for Vihiga for bringing this Statement and the Chair for giving the honour of a minute of silence to the legendary Kadenge. If Kadenge lived and played in the current situation, he would not be any different from Christiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi, Thierry Henry and all those great players. When we were growing up like the Statement indicated, any good dribbler on a football pitch was called a Kadenge. Kadenge became a household name in the football of this region. In fact, when he died, I heard his death ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: As we mourn Joe Kadenge - like those who have spoken before me have said - I think this country has neglected our heroes and heroines particularly in the sports sector too much. There is a young man from Nandi County called Henry Rono, who in 1978 or 1979 broke four world records in three weeks. I am told he ended up washing cars in USA and living the life of a pauper. Kadenge brought a name to the football of this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, great football announcers like the late Steven Kikumu, Salim Mohammed, Leonard Mambo Mbotela and ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: It is not demeaning to our retired President. He is already named after almost everything. There is Moi International Sports Centre - Kasarani, Moi Stadium Kisumu, Moi International Airport, Mombasa, all the Moi Girls Schools in Kenya, Nyayo buses; name it. At least, let us take Nyayo National Stadium and call it ‘Joe Kadenge International Stadium.’ It will be something to behold. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been told the manner in which mzee Kadenge has passed on; living in squalor. To this extent, we do not know if the Government will meet the funeral bills of mzee Kadenge. I ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: 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
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Last but not least, the manner in which mzee Kadenge died and the state he was in and the situation he lived in, must be a wakeup call to this country. My distinguished nephew here, who is the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare should draft a Bill and bring it here on how to honour heroes. This will obligate the Government; that when you are a hero you are not supposed to live on the benevolence and generosity of any individual. You live on an entitlement as of right; that you brought fame to this country ... view
