• 5 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion. This is routine adjournment set by the calendar save that in this particular incident, we are extending the period for a short while for the reason that we want to have a conference on devolution. It will be a conference that will critically evaluate devolution, its pros, cons, successes, failures and challenges. It is not going to be an opportunity for masters of corruption to grandstand and pretend that they have changed the lives of people when, in fact, what they have changed is their lives, their cohorts, sycophants and their families. ... view
• 5 May 2016 in Senate: novel of everybody with an opportunity, motive, intent and with the capacity to steal everywhere? When you look at what is going on in counties, it is a sorry state. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I look at my county, sometimes I feel like asking very serious questions. What is happening in this country? What has happened to the 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
• 5 May 2016 in Senate: No problem Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me finish by saying that the health system has collapsed everywhere. What I would want this Senate to do is for our Committee of Health to engage the national Government and turn those so called referral hospitals by name, upgrade them to true referral hospitals because referral hospitals are the domain of the national Government.

• 5 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be brief. First, the end of this Session is celebrated because we have worked in a positive bipartisan manner. In the process, we have done well. Secondly, we have a pending retreat for the leadership of the Senate and the National Assembly to address the issue of the frustration of Bills originating from the Senate to the National Assembly. Thirdly, I encourage Senators to turn up in large numbers for the planned conference. Fourthly, I request that we continue to condole the family of the retired President Kibaki for the loss of the former ... view
• 5 May 2016 in Senate: Kibaki that the HANSARD record of the eulogies that we passed in the House will be extracted and taken to the family for their record. This is in remembrance of what we said about Mama Lucy. Fifthly, I encourage the reforms that are going on in the Ministry of Education. However, what shocks me in this country is that every officer appointed to the office must appear to be changing something. I asked Cabinet Secretary Matiangi; that if he wants to abolish the 8-4-4 system, then what mongrel is he introducing? Why do you not move Kenya to the standardisation ... view
• 5 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is not anti-corruption any more but pro-corruption. That is what they do. Things are not working well. When we have a recess like this - even without attending the conference - the House must resolve that once in a while, we take a recess for some days and reflect on what we are witnessing in our counties. The Senators may not alone do something but we can influence the executive, the National Assembly or any other organs to make things work.

• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I see wisdom in the direction of your thoughts and the points raised by my colleagues. We must also be very cautious about this process. We have a new formula and this House has approved it. The formula has moved to the next Chamber but experience has been that we might say we have latitude of 60 days and the formula might get to the next Chamber and go into the cooler like the other 23 Bills. The caution I wanted to put on the Table is to encourage you personally to reach out to your brother ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion. I also join those who have spoken before me in lauding our representatives in the Mediation Committee for a job well done; Sen. Wako, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Sang and Sen. Murkomen, especially when they were mediating with an unreasonable person called hon. Samuel Chepkonga. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I withdraw, but my interactions with him always appear to be far from reasonable. However, I will avoid that. A hyena told a stone: “Hata usiponijibu, umenisikia.” This report on this Bill is very important for two or three reasons. One is that it brings to the fore the important point that every vote counts. As it is today, we have created monoliths, so to speak, in accessing national revenue that goes to parties. A party that cannot get the threshold set out here has no business laying any claim to state resources. Parties must strive ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join hon. Kibaki, our retired President, his family, particularly his children Judy, Jimmy, David and Tony, whom I knew very closely, in mourning the passing on of Mama Lucy. I served this country as an Assistant Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs for more than nine years. In the process, I was very close to the retired President, hon. Kibaki. We traveled far and wide to New York, London, Addis Ababa, South Africa and many parts of the world. I can say without any fear of contradiction that Mama Lucy conducted herself with total distinction. ... view
