• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when it comes to matters health, we expect the Committee Chairperson and the Government to be positively responsive to the House. Matters of maternal health care all over the country are of grave concern because the much talked-about free maternity healthcare has come a cropper. It is not going on and women are detained with their children. I once visited my county hospital where you find a woman with a new born sharing a bed in a tuberculosis (TB) patients’ ward. That child is going to leave that hospital having contracted TB. Could this good professor of ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to also welcome the students of Matungulu Girls High School. I urge them to be good growing citizens of this country. They come from a region that is truly “CORDED.” We work very well with the Member of Parliament (MP) and another leader; my brother, hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka. When you go back, tell your parents to remain on course. Be of good conduct. Do not burn any dormitories. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me finish by urging the students to remain of good behaviour. We have not heard of their school torching their dormitory. Do not be tempted to do that. The Ministry is cropping in the dark trying to tell us the reasons. The reasons they have advanced are false. We have a Motion on it later. As you go back, remain “CORDED.” view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know that we have constitutional timelines. However, this issue of land is extremely emotive and can cause problems in the country. Members of this House represent counties and their governments where public land is domiciled. The Bill that came from the National Assembly had a lot of unacceptable clauses and we rejected it almost in total. I would have expected that the Bill, having gone to mediation, we do not turn ourselves to what now looks like a rubberstamp. I expected the Chairperson of the Committee to walk the House through ... view

• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not mean to be harsh on the Chairperson of the Committee. In fact, he was already saluted for having done his work expeditiously. However, this House cannot seek solace and comfort. In fact, the Standing Order allows us to reject a report. Our duty is not to reject reports but to make good laws which will come out of informed decisions, having read and understood what is before us. Sen. Sang may be interested in hearing that when we were debating the new Constitution on matters of land, I visited my friend, the late Bargetuny ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I think the point raised by the distinguished Senator for Nandi is very important. It is necessary for the Chair to give the necessary guidance that the Chairman of the Committee, in bringing the report--- We want to make it clear that we are not questioning the competence of our Members to the Mediation Committee because we appointed them and we know that they are men and women of absolute integrity and intellect. What we want is to know if we have done the right thing. I expect that when we ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a Bill that has originated from the National Assembly. I hope some of the technical points will be canvassed by the Committee chaired by the Senator for Embu County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the history of the growth of our towns and urban centres, their planning and the zoning of Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru - which we used to be told was one of the best planned and cleanest town in Kenya – Kisumu - if you fly over Kisumu you see the ring road, avenues, estates - estates like Milimani for wadosi, industrial area ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you decide to drive from here to western Kenya, you will be in a traffic jam from Nairobi to Eldoret. That is where it starts easing. From Nairobi to Nakuru, we used to take 45 minutes. Nowadays you cannot use less than three hours. From Nakuru to Eldoret we used to take one and a half hours. Now you cannot take less than another two hours and then you go on to Malaba. If you go to Kisumu, you will find the same thing. This is due The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
