• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, the distinguished professor read the wrong Standing Order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me finish by saying that Africa will be better off if we make corruption difficult and painful. Those who embrace it must pay for it like it has happened in Senegal. Closer home, the other day, every Kenyan read the obscene headlines about the sharing of the late Koinange’s Estate. A proper functioning Government should have quickly moved to inquire how such a massive cache of wealth was acquired in this country because everybody knows--- view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Allow me to finish, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, obscenities in primitive accumulation of wealth through corruption must be fought from every direction and front. We should not shy away from talking about it when it happens. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join in lauding the Senegalese President. view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not in my habit to disagree or qualify what the Chair has said. However, we need some guidance. Matters of public notoriety or where anybody sitting anywhere can see that something is questionable or wrong cannot be gagged from being aired here. However, I thank you because when you directed that I stop going towards that direction, you did not require me to withdraw or order that the statement be expunged from the record. Given your wide experience in law, I am sure you know that I had not ... view

• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I welcome back our brother who has been away. We all wished him quick recovery. I also take the opportunity, now that my distinguished brother Senator for Nyeri County has come in, to pass our collective condolences to him for the loss of his father. Many of us were not able to attend the send-off, but we felt with you, our brother, for losing your beloved father. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Isiolo County has given very important information to the House, but we wish that a matter--- view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is on now. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. In this Chamber, if you call a meeting concerning education, health and security, you will be sure that every single delegation will turn up because it affects virtually every county. The distinguished Chairperson of the Committee on Health has announced today that tomorrow at 9.00 a.m. the CS for Health will be here to discuss very weighty issues of health; strikes, lack of medicine and all manner of things that are going on in the Ministry of Health. For Members of this House to participate effectively and in an informed manner, I ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You cannot possibly be a judge in your own cause. The distinguished Senator for Migori was the Chair of the Committee of the Whole. He made a ruling which carried the moment. The distinguished Senator for Kakamega has, after fresh developments, asked the Speaker, to make a ruling on the matter that new circumstances have arisen, and for reasons that the distinguished Senator for Vihiga advanced and convinced the same Chair, he adjourned and he is reporting progress. So, the person to rule, I am not saying which direction, is the ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I congratulate the distinguished Senator for Migori for bringing this Bill. I support the Bill for reasons that health is a devolved function. Being a devolved function, we must – as the Senate that defends and protects counties and their governments – ensure that devolved functions are properly and truly devolved to counties to help the people of this country. HIV/AIDS has been a cash cow and you know that there have been many questionable transactions and audit queries surrounding the management of HIV/AIDS funds, largely brought in by donors. Many donors, like the ... view
