• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: I have no difficulty with Sen. Sang being given the privilege and opportunity to sit on the Chair. However, in the tradition, practice and good order in the House, such a process ought to be consultative. At the very least, we have two sides. I would have expected my brother who is sitting in front of me, to consult with me. The authority to appoint panelists lies with the Speaker. However, when it comes to a situation such as this, where the House is obligated to make a decision, both sides should be involved. It is just decent that we ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, nobody is questioning the procedure or the competence of Sen. Sang; we have tremendous respect for him. All we are saying is that in future, we must be consultative and my brother has said that it is true that we must consult. These are not issues of precedent. We need to consult and agree. If it is Sen. (Prof.) Lesan or Sen. Hassan, we need to agree on it. That is the simple point that we are raising. view

• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will make very few remarks. I congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Anyang-Nyong’o and the entire Committee for a job well done. KQ is dubbed the pride of Africa; it ought to be the pride of Kenya. It has through time degenerated to the shame of Kenya and the shame of the region. This is an airline that if you compare with the importance of airlines to economies like what Emirates is doing to UAE what it has done to Ethiopia. KQ had all systems go; a monopoly, government supported, carrying our national name and literally ... view

• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to start by acknowledging the distinguished, Sen. Mugo, who brought this matter to the Floor. This is a matter that has been very emotive. Parents losing children has been a regular occurrence in our big hospitals. You remember the notorious case of Mrs. Deya and the miracle babies, how she used to traffic new babies to London for sale, pretending that she was carrying miracle pregnancies for two to three months and delivering healthy babies. This could very well be a similar case where we have had cases where children born in ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said it was not done. If it was done, then the distinguished Senator, they did not bring out that point very strongly because that is where the cracks lies. We have recommendations of a criminal inquiry, we would been happy to find out from the Report whether this criminal inquiry had been done and what were the conclusions. If a criminal inquiry is carried out and there is somebody culpable, whether it is a doctor in Pumwani or anybody else, action should have been taken. The trafficking of children is a very complicated international syndicate. It runs ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: It is big money! view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Three weeks ago, it was on BBC, The Mail, The New YorkTimes and in the South African media. This is what Mugabe said:- “The people of Zimbabwe, be careful of the people of Kenya. When you go to Kenya, everybody in Kenya is a thief. They steal everything, they will infect you with bad manners and I think their universities offer a course called Bachelor of stealing.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am surprised you missed it. My friends from Zimbabwe confirmed that he said it. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it in order for all of us collectively to try to truncate debate and free speech by disallowing examples? What Sen. Muthama said was not that there is any university in this country that offers thievery as a course. He simply cited somebody who said this and said that he hopes our country will not go in that direction. Surely, that cannot be offensive to anybody. When we are debating, we should be allowed to think as freely as Romans and as figuratively as we can, so that we enrich debate. view
