• 26 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to contribute to this Bill that has some good provisions and suggestions and some not so good provisions and suggestions. On the face of it, the Bill looks very harmless in trying to harmonise some of the procedures in the counties. I congratulate the mover and seconder of this Bill to the extent of the issue of the deputy speaker and how they can be removed from office. The Bill tries to harmonise removal of a deputy speaker to be similar to ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would love my distinguished friend, colleague and a man who is privileged to be married from my village to be my running mate. However, rumour has it that he has developed some appetite for the seat of governor of West Pokot County. If he has not, I regret the statement. If he has, I wish him well. I was saying that you can count up to 18 Senators, including yourself - if what I have heard is correct - who have developed some appetite towards the seat of governor. Let me tell you that if ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in Senate: I accept information. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even when the President said that 10,000 recruits go to Kiganjo in a convoluted way, he was challenged in court. Nowhere in the world is there any legislation to regulate the relationship between a deputy and his boss in governance structures. I do not like the Jubilee Government, but I will not accept a Bill that defines what the Deputy President should do and must not do. The Deputy President can do anything and everything that the President can do in the absence of the President or under an informal arrangement. He can be assigned to ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I do so, I invite my distinguished friend and neighbour to read a small book by Chinua Achebe called ‘The Trouble with Nigeria’ or the Bible where Jesus asked: “Why is it that people with eyes do not see and people with ears do not hear?” I have added that people with brains do not think. That last one is not applicable to Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo because he is a distinguished brilliant man. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, last week you may have seen in the media when police officers busted counterfeiters and crooks on River ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will conclude. This Bill is good and I support to the extent that I have said. The clauses that I do not agree with, I advise the sponsor that the general opinion in the House is unfavourable on the issue of deputy governors. The Senator may rethink his position at the Committee Stage. I beg to support to that extent only. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I laud our representatives on the Mediation Committee in relation to this Climate Change Bill for the good work they have done. Equally important, I salute the Member of the National Assembly for Emuhaya Hon. (Dr.) Otichilo who is the originator of the Bill. I heard him yesterday moving another Bill in the National Assembly that compels the State to engage in cleaning up our country the way it is done in countries like Rwanda. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I welcome the distinguished Senator for Baringo County and laud him for the scare he gave the Jubillee brigade in Kericho. I sympathise with him and his party for the fraud they suffered in the Kericho Senatorial by-election. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is relevant to the extent that Sen. Moi walked in while I was speaking. He has not been in the House for some time. It is good to welcome him in a befitting manner. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that the Mediation Committee found it necessary to recognise the feelings of the Senate that the Council of Governors(CoG) must be represented on the Committee. The theatre of all matters on climate is in the counties. Whether it is about the protection of a wetland, encroachment of a desert, shrinking and drying of rivers, among others, it is in the counties. I hope that the CoG will play a critical and positive role in helping the country manage our climate activities. view
