• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I said “we share” but I never said you drink. Can I carry on? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the President talked about public debt. If you watched that Speech, the President said that our public debt is not unmanageable, that we are still within reason. The President never cared to tell us where he found the public debt and where he has taken it to. Former President Kibaki left this country with a public debt of Kshs875 billion. In three-and-a-half years, the Jubilee regime has pushed the public debt to Kshs3.8 trillion. If that is not ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I really sympathize with my sister. Chair, you are an engineer; and you know you know that a standard gauge railway line is a standard gauge railway line whether it is in Russia, China, USA or any other country as opposed to what we have in the old Rift Valley Railway Line. The standard gauge railway is universal. 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
• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in this country and you can bear me witness, if you look at this country all the wealthy men in the late President Kenyatta’s Government were public servants. They have generated wealth and hoarded it; I do not want to use strong words. Now it is their children who are in authority. Where are the children of the poor man in Laikipia or your uncle in Kakamega going to go? Do not defend the indefensible. People like Sen. Karaba will come here, sit, talk themselves horse, retire and go back home. The rich people are sitting ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: We did not launch toilets, roads to people’s homes and 30 year old ferries which is a devolved function. We did not do the crazy things we are seeing being done. Mzee Kibaki acted decently and statesmanly. view
• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: And the interruptions? view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also wish to support this Motion. Previously, the Electoral College of the EALA Members of Parliament was the National Assembly. This was before we became a Bicameral Parliament. Madam Temporary Speaker, in Burundi and Rwanda, where they have bicameral parliaments the Electoral College is vested in both Houses. Here, we are also trying to move in tandem with our partners in East Africa, so that we can have both Houses participate in the nominations and elections of Members of EALA. As the East African Community (EAC) comes of age, I think we need to ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to engage in unhelpful arguments on matters that are so clear. We were in this House, and the Speaker sitting where you are sitting, allowed unauthorized persons to vote in this House. If I were Sen. Wangari, I would concentrate on struggling to become the Member of Parliament for Gilgil--- view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we passed the Bill that entrenched electoral fraud in this country, two Senators voted without authority and I have got documentary evidence. I have talked to it and nobody has challenged me. I even went to the public media and said that the Speaker presided over a fraudulent process and he has not challenged me. I spoke on the Floor here and they were in a great hurry to disappear from the Chamber after the fraud. This is a point that we cannot run away from. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: Let me finish, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Onchwang’i was not authorized to vote, but he voted. Sen. Lesuuda was also not authorized to vote, but she voted. I have got documentary evidence- -- view
• 2 Mar 2017 in Senate: How can the participants in fraud complain? It defeats logic. view
