• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, the distinguished Senator for Nairobi should thank you for your magnanimity. If you applied the Constitution and the Standing Orders to the letter, he would have gone. He just drops into committees for a quick fight with his governor and then he leaves. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in answering the question raised by Sen. Mukiite, could the Chairman also tell the House and country whether there is any truth in what was stated by the head of the National Cereals and Produce Board; that they have stocks of maize that is more than eight years old in the stores and it has gone bad, probably, with aflatoxin? Could he also assure the country that this contaminated maize will not be released to the population as food rations, more particularly, the vulnerable areas that survive on food rations from the Government in the northern parts ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to add my voice to this matter, in support of the proposition by Sen. Sang. Once a Statement is sought, it becomes the property of the House, especially on matters that are of national The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the permission to speak to this Bill. The realisation of universal education free of any impediments is guaranteed in the Constitution; same as social rights like the right to housing, the right to food, the right to good nutrition, the right to clean water, the right to a clean environment et cetera . It takes the will of the Government of the day to realise these rights. If we want these rights not just to be realised as a manifesto of the ruling clique or as a gift to the people, ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me proceed. I was on Clause 3(g) on the vetting of nominees for board of management members and managers for private institutions. This is very dangerous because the national Government apart from posting teachers does very little for schools. The only thing that they are doing is posting teachers and sending some nominal sums of money for the universal primary education which is hardly much. The history of schools in this country must be appreciated before we enact a law like this one. Schools are started by churches, parents, mosques and many other groups. Therefore, ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: It is a fact. In fact, I started by saying that he is my friend. I know what he did because he is my friend. It was even in the media, that he sat for examinations and failed in every subject. I am not imputing any improper motives, but stating a fact about him. I am not even saying that he is masquerading; he knows that he did not pass. What do we mean when we say “shall have a minimum qualification of a secondary education?” If we are creating a board that will look at the qualitative nature of ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Okay, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. These things happen and will continue happening. I have several other points, but I will make notes and pass on to my colleague. Lastly, I want to emphasize the point you made. Today, you go to the countryside, the school has no laboratory and library but it has a Kshs6 million bus, a bus shed, a driver who drives it at least once a week, an insurance cover and everything. This is a mania of buses. When I was a Member of Parliament for a constituency, I made it very clear that if you wanted ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity and my colleague for moving this Bill whose content and the philosophy is consistent with International Labour Organisation (ILO) The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Senator for Kakamega for bringing this matter concerning public property in Isiolo County. This matter can be replicated in many other counties. Governors do not seem to differentiate between public and private property. Article 1(1) of The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 vests the power of this country in the people of Kenya. Any governor or individual who goes counter to the interests of the people of any village, county, sub- county and the country does so at their own risk. We have lost a lot of public property in the country in this manner. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: The people of Isiolo are justified to resist attempts to clandestinely lease out resources that contribute close to 90 per cent of their revenue. Many cases like these have happened, where they start by secretly leasing and eventually you learn that they have secretly sold the assets. I want to urge that the Committee interrogates this matter fully and if anybody is found culpable, it is a clear case that can lead to the impeachment of whoever is responsible, if it is the governor, his deputy or whoever it is. Public property must be protected for the interest of the ... view
