• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is advice for free, take it from me that I am a presidential candidate and I need women votes. I have been in Parliament since 1993 and I have seen these things many times. A constitutional Bill, once it is brought to the House, passes as is or falls as is. We, as CORD, support affirmative action – and this I am telling my distinguished friends and sisters, whom I love so much. Affirmative action the world over is never extended to an individual in perpetuity. It is a one shot and when one finishes, ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join you and the House in welcoming the students from your County who are studying in Egerton University. They are actually very few. Egerton is a great University founded by one of the top scholars from the Mulembe nation called Prof. Richard Musangi. He spent a lot of time and energy to bring that university to where it is. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I tell them that they have a good Senator who is our Deputy Speaker in this House. I always pride myself with the distinction that I proposed him to be made ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate Sen. Karaba’s concerns about the shoulders of the good roads in his county. He also mentioned the issue about safety on the roads. May the Chairperson of the Committee tell this House and the country what steps the NTSA are taking to secure our roads? We have noticed that in the last four months, we have had grisly fatal accidents all over and more particularly at a black spot at Salgaa on the road between Nakuru and Eldoret. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are losing too many lives at a black spot on the ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will raise a substantive statement later. The Jubilee Government promised Kenyans 10,000 kilometres of paved road in five years. To the best of my knowledge, three years are gone and you cannot count more than 500 kilometres of paved roads that the Jubilee Government has done. What is the policy of this Government in meeting promises that they made to Kenyans about paving or tarmacking the roads? Lastly, in terms of safety because now this touches the road that my distinguished colleague raised, what are we going to do about the irresponsible behaviour of drivers ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the distinguished lady, Vice Chairperson of the Committee, to tell this House that the NTSA is formulating policies and rules about road carnage when this country knows that a distinguished man from Murang’a, called hon. John Njoroge Michuki, became a Minister for Transport and within two months, he demonstrated ably to this country that it is not a shortage of rules or law, but a shortage of will that we have accidents. In no time, the lunacy in the matatu industry was cleared; The electronic version ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, he is. He was recently appointed. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In management of our programmes, sometimes information is given from the Chair that a certain Cabinet Secretary is coming – you can see how few we are now – it will be desirable for the office of the Clerk to follow up with communication by way of a memo to hon. Senators so that we are made aware to attend such meetings. When there is communication from the Chair – I know we are supposed to be here but we also know that some of our colleagues are in committees elsewhere, ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the answer, the Chair should also tell us the Government policy or the policy guidelines of the Government on bursaries. I say this because I encounter a lot of students every other day. You will find that a student in the university with a fee balance of about Kshs80,000 per annum is granted a bursary of Kshs3,000 and these are children from destitute families. If we really want to give bursaries to students, they must be meaningful bursaries. It is better to give a few students full bursaries to learn than spreading meaninglessly thin to ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator from Meru County is not in the chamber, he is out there on very distinguished national duty, Co-Chairing the Joint Committee on Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) with Sen. Orengo. So, on his behalf, I would want to welcome the students and encourage them to be good students. We have not heard of any dormitory burnt in their school yet and we hope there will be none. Their distinguished Senator is much respected in this House. He is called “the King” and we hope that on his behalf, we can make you ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I understand after Order No.10 which has only 15 minutes to go, we will move to No.19. view
