• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for welcoming my fellow Catholics. As a practicing Catholic, I am delighted to see them in the Speaker’s Gallery.

• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that ruling and guidance. However, yesterday Sen. Bule was actually wearing clothes that had multiple colours. It was not just black. I do not know whether that fits in your description of proper dressing. Secondly, you have not exhaustively addressed the issue of the manner of dressing of our colleague ladies. We have also seen some of them enter these Chamber skimpily dressed in a manner that is inconsistent with what we expect a distinguished Senator of this House to dress. We hope that you will also enforce those rules seriously. These proceedings are ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in responding to this question, we know that all doctors take the Hippocratic Oath that requires them to attend to any patient before them regardless.

• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first I thank Sen. Wangari for bringing this very important issue to the Floor. I want to seek a clarification from the Chairman. The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Act that governs the subject that he is answering to is an Act of Parliament that was passed way back in 1978. In that Act, Section 22 provided for penalties for unregistered and unlicensed persons practicing medicine. Those are the quacks he is talking about. The penalty is as partly as Kshs10,000 regardless of the offense or a jail term of one year. Could the Chairman assure this ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, charcoal poaching is a serious menace in this country. There is no explanation or justification that can mitigate the destruction of forests that goes on everywhere. All you need to do is to fly over any of the forests to see what is happening. Members of the notorious “sky team”, like Sen. Murkomen, can tell you that when you fly over the Mau and many other forests, you will see that there is serious ongoing destruction of our forests yet we are a country with very thin forest cover. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Vice-Chairman tell us ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of information. Mr. Speaker Sir. May I inform the distinguished Senator for Vihiga that as we attempt to devolve functions including the management, protection and conservation of forests, the national Government has arrogantly refused to release the protection, management and ownership of forests to county governments to the extent that the Governor of Kakamega County has been contemplating taking the national Government to court because forest officers and other allied forces from the national Government are busy destroying the natural forests of Kakamega. When he tries to intervene, he is told it is a national forest. Sen. ... view

In his Address, His Excellency the President made a very pertinent point that pertains to the relationship between Kenya and Tanzania and East African region, as a whole. We also noted that many of our colleagues do not understand Kiswahili although it is our national language because they were bewildered by the manner in which the visiting ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: I think they were mesmerized and bewildered, without even knowing that this is our national language. Some Kenyans make no effort to speak Kiswahili like you do. You speak very good Kiswahili. The only person in this House who speaks better Kiswahili than you is me. Although, I have not addressed this House in the same language. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Asante, Bw.Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa nafasi ya kutumia lugha nyingine kinyume na Kanuni za Seneti hii. Kwanza umemsika ndugu yangu, Sen.Orengo, akizungumza lugha anayodai ni sanifu na ansema alikaa Ugunja kwa “miaka mirefu”. Hakuna Kiswahili kama hicho.Unaweza kukaa kwa miaka mingi au miaka michache, au muda mrefu lakini hauwezi kukaa miaka mirefu kwa sababu, miaka ni miaka hakuna miaka mifupi wala miaka mirefu. Mhe.Spika wa Muda, Hotuba ya Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete ilikuwa ya kufana. Ilikuwa ni Hotuba ambayo ilileta mwelekeo mpya na mwelekeo wa kusaidia kanda hii ya Afrika Mashariki.
