• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, listening to the Chair of my Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, herself a distinguished lawyer, I want to ask her about a Statement she has read, that the only exculpatory material in it is a Statement from the deceased. As a lawyer, is the Chair telling us that the deceased made a dying declaration upon which the Government is relying to exclude itself from reliability when we know that due to laxity at Bookers Police Post, armed criminals walked in and disarmed police and walked away with guns? Out of shame, the police invaded ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am vindicated. I thought Sen. Karaba was rising to respond. Allow me to --- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view

• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank the distinguished Senator for West Pokot for asking this question, I would like the Chairperson of the Committee, when he brings the answer, to tell this House and the country whether the much publicized stories about building a technical institute in each and every constituency in the country is the usual campaign gimmick by Jubilee or a fact. If it is a fact, bring the budget line for each and every constituency in the country, the status of each and every technical institute, the levels of staffing, number of students where they are operational ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not want to visit this, but is it in order for my great friend, Sen. Obure, who I have tremendous respect for, to say what he has said, when even where he is sitting betrays what he has said. He is sitting on the opposition side. The other Senator from Gusii land is sitting on the opposition side. In the last elections, the CORD coalition got 73 per cent of the presidential vote and the other 17 per cent was shared between Jubilee, Mudavadi, Martha Karua, Mwalimu Dida, Peter Kenneth and all the others who ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in accordance with precedent and usage in many parliaments of comparable jurisdictions, I agree with you that you cannot use English and Kiswahili interchangeably. That is clear in the Standing Orders but in a speech, a Member can bring in words in a different language as matter of quote or emphasis without violating the language barrier. So, you also need to give us direction that if I am making a contribution and I quote that somebody said huyumtu ni mjinga, then I continue with my speech, that quote is not a violation of the Standing Orders. I ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Nyamira is a Member of my party. He is in this House courtesy of the Ford Kenya party and CORD. Never mind where he is headed. As long as his term runs up to the end, legally he is a Member of my party. NASA is acknowledged as a registered instrument of a coalition between Ford Kenya, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Wiper Democratic Movement and Amani National Congress. This is recognized in law and the Constitution. I find it derogatory and unacceptable. I would urge the Chair to order the distinguished Senator to ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson also happens to be the distinguished Senator for Trans Nzoia which produces one third of the maize cereal in this country. Could the Chairperson tell the House and the country what exactly is the policy on farm subsidies, particularly on the issue of fertilizer?

• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: I am sorry. Mwea is in Kirinyaga, anyway. Fertilizer always arrives --- view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the distinguished Senator for Kirinyaga County, Mwalimu Karaba. The fertilizer always arrives very late. The shelf life of fertilizer is four or five years and the Government policy is to move away from rain fed agriculture in many places to irrigated agriculture. This means that farmers can plant anytime throughout the year. Could the Chairperson tell the House whether the Government will constantly maintain sufficient stocks in the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and other designated silos, fertilizer not only for cereal farmers, namely maize but for rice, wheat, tea, coffee and all other ... view
