• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thought the distinguished Senator was offended by my assertion that women sit in this House longer than the men. He then pursued a completely different trajectory that was irrelevant to what I was saying, but we forgive him. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to conclude by encouraging Sen. Sijeny, the Senator sponsoring this Bill, that we do not want to throw out the baby with the bath water. This House is unlikely to find favour with the Clause allowing nominations in perpetuity. This House is unlikely to find favour with Clause 4(1)(a) and (b). ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also join you and the House in welcoming the visiting students and their leader and to encourage them to feel at home in this “Upper House” of Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. Although Spain is in Europe, it is also a young democracy like us having come to democracy when my good friend Felipe Gonzalez swept to power sometime back. I appreciate the Spanish football and I am a fun of Barcelona Football Club which we cherish very much in this country. We want to see that emerging democracies in developed regions can ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to ride on that wonderful request by the distinguished Senator for Nyeri. In responding to that Statement, the Chairperson should tell the House and the country:- (1) What are the effects and advantages or possible disadvantages arising from the BREXIT vote in the United Kingdom (UK) that is taking the UK out of the EU knowing that the UK is Kenya’s No.2 trading partner? (2) What are the effects of Kenya negotiating with the EU under the umbrella of the EAC when our partner States; Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania are classified as LDCs and ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in addition to what the distinguished Senator for Kericho has asked, will the Chairperson also tell the House and the country:- (1) How many individual women and women groups have been foreclosed in the last two years? “Foreclosure” means failing to pay the loans and being auctioned. I have received many cases of women who have been lured into borrowing money and when things fail to work, they are foreclosed all over the country. It is not limited to one place. (2) Is there any mitigation that the Government is taking to help these women? Sometimes it ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the police force in this country is enjoying a very dirty image. The other day, the distinguished Senator for Nyeri, talked about the manner of training and the need for continuous training to keep the police force abreast with the changing circumstances under which they operate. You saw what happened in Kapenguria last week. Yesterday, there was a story of a policeman who dressed himself in a gunny bag and stood outside a police station in Langata the whole day, demanding to have audience with the Inspector-General (IG) of Police. As a policeman, I am sure he ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know you have already indicated your thinking and direction but I first wish to thank Sen. Njoroge for bringing the question.

• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I do that, you directed very firmly that the Statement I sought on the situation in South Sudan be issued yesterday or latest today. Sen. Adan had indicated to me that she was awaiting the Statement. I do not know what direction you would give. I know that we have run dangerously out of time. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I oblige. It will be a good idea if we start with it on Tuesday because of the interest that that matter attracted. In fact, this morning I had a meeting with the Assistant Secretary of State for the United States of America (USA) and half the time we discussed about the situation in South Sudan. BUSINESS FOR THE WEEK COMMENCING TUESDAY, 26THJULY, 2016 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to issue the following Statement under Standing Order 45. The Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet on Tuesday 26th July, 2016, at 12.30 p.m. to schedule the business ... view

• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me start from where Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale left. I believe that according to Sen. Sijeny, this is not her Bill but she is the conveyer belt of the use of others to this House. May I advise her for free that Clause 4(b) -before looking at the main Bill - will collapse this Bill. view
