• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw the use of the word ‘boulder.’ I apologise for using that word, but would want to say that I will use very strong language if she continues interjecting me. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to bring to the attention of the House, through you, and seek your direction that we seem to be processing Bills and debating them during First and Second Readings. We then move to Division and then Third Reading without public participation and committee reports. The general procedure is that when a Bill is read, it is automatically committed to a committee that would do two things: First is to conduct public hearing and secondly is to prepare a report that can help Members in debating the Bills in a more informed manner. By going to ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Sessional Paper. In the Ninth Parliament we, more or less, passed an identical Paper. But by that time, it was not called slum upgrading; it was called the National Housing Policy Paper. It was brought by the then Minister for Roads and Housing, the Right Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga. I do not know whether the distinguished Senator was in Parliament then; were you his Permanent Secretary? I believe he had a contribution to that paper and I expected to hear more from him on this paper. ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I also add my voice to your voice and those who have spoken ahead of me in welcoming my neighbours from West Pokot and laud them for the relative peace and calm that we have between West Pokot and Trans Nzoia. Incidents of insecurity are now part of our history. I also have a close affinity with the Pokot, through the famed Dini ya Msambwa, which they espouse fully. As we welcome the delegation, I encourage them to be steadfast in being the first point of call on oversight; the primary oversight organ in the counties ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was on the Floor at the rise of the House. I want to continue contributing to the Warehouse Receipts System Bill. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish the Senate Majority Leader who moves Bills sits in the House to hear what Members say. That will help him bring informed amendments when it comes to the Committee stage. His extremely mobile behavior is going to create a lot of problems in this House. Whenever Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki moved any Bill, he sat here throughout the debate of the Bill. He listened to Members and was able to liaise with committees to bring amendments. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: I know you want to complain about the language. It is a quote. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was responding. I thought I had the right of response--- view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: I did not mix languages. Language is very dynamic. When speaking in English, you can use a quote from a different language then go ahead and explain what it means. That is what I was about to do. I can speak in English then say wewe ni mjinga wamwisho . I will then go ahead and explain what mjinga wamwisho means. It is allowed in the procedures of Parliament. However, if I swung off and started my debate on a different language--- view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill on warehousing is a good idea crafted badly. Warehousing is a very important component of commodity exchange, commodity trading and support for farmers and other people. However, from the way this Bill is drafted, it is not very clear how it is going to help the farmer or the small business people. What happens in comparable jurisdictions is that if you get a big commodity exchange market as big as Chwele Market in Bungoma or Karatina in Nyeri, you warehouse things for traders. They pay for the services and you also help them to market ... view
