• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Khaniri for courageously prosecuting this Petition in the face of the intimidation that he has been facing. I agree with Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. This Petition is a story of counties’ impunity, fraud, theft, looting and all manner of negatives. You saw yourself when a matter came here from your county; the obscenity that your governor is visiting on your county. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am referring to the County of Murang’a. To make it worse, it is quoted verbatim that in the course of carrying out its investigations and upon tabling its report before the County Assembly for adoption, Members of the ad hoc committee together with the Speaker of the County Assembly received threatening messages sent through their phones reading as follows:- “Speaker Dan Chitwa and Andrew Ahuga, we shall kill you and your wives and all MCAs in your ad hoc committee.” view

• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it reads:- “We shall kill you and your wives and all MCAs in your ad hoc Committee. We are coming for your heads, uliza Embu County Speaker, Kariuki Mate.” This kind of reckless impunity must be stopped. Vihiga is one of the smaller counties in this country, but it is still receiving more money in one year than any money the county ever received since Independence. This money must make a difference in the lives of the people. When a governor cannot account for Kshs1.6 billion in a small county like Vihiga, and resorts to quasi ... view

• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you want another precedent of a reverend, there is Rev. Mutava Musyimi chairing the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the “Lower House”. I want to end by urging this House to be firm, strong and apply the law as must be applied to bring these offending governors to order. For my colleagues who want to become governors, like the ‘lion king’, we are paving the way for you to do the right things. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate the Senate Deputy Majority Leader for his business prowess. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to make a comment on this Petition as a Member of the Committee. The plight of Kenyan workers in the Middle East is very distressing. As you know, I have been a Minister for Foreign Affairs of this country. I engaged very deeply in trying to create an enabling environment for orderly legal--- view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Report of my Committee is not strong enough. We are “calling upon Saudi Arabia,” yet we have a bilateral relationship with Saudi Arabia under the Geneva Conventions. Our Committee visited Philippines - Sen. Fatuma can confirm - which has the best migrant policy in the world. They even have an association called “Filipino Workers Abroad” based on policy and law. I heard the Minister for Trade the other day announcing that Kenya is about to export two million workers to the Middle East without telling us how those workers live. The young girls who go ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before the Chair undertakes to respond, the profiling and discrimination of Kenyans in issuance of identity cards has been meted on Kenyans of Somali origin and those from border counties in general. In Western Kenya where we come from with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Khaniri, Sen. Ndiema amongst others, one cannot get an identification card until there is production of a host of documents including a title deed, a letter from the area chief, an ID of one’s grandfather, ID of the father and if an applicant is a married woman, consent to get married and ... view
