• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you can allow me to move you back a little on the issue of the malaria problem in the Western region. It is so critical that last week we were told by the distinguished Senator for Vihiga that 22 children had died in Vihiga, over 38 in Kakamega and now they are dying in Trans Nzoia and Bungoma. In addition to the malaria challenge, over 20 children have been paralyzed in Busia for being administered injections by “doctors” who may not be qualified. These health challenges cannot be taken casually the ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that kneejerk reaction shows the culpability of this Government. Nowhere in the Standing Orders of this House does the responsibility of the performance of Committees rest on Senate Majority Leader or Senate Minority Leader. Once the Committees are set, they operate under the direction of the management of Parliament, which is, the Speaker and the Clerk. Secondly, nowhere in the Standing Orders or Constitution does the Senate Majority Leader or Senate Minority Leader grant permission to any Member to go out of the country. We do not do so. Thirdly, the Member crying louder than the bereaved ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a matter of etiquette and procedure in the House, did you notice that Sen. Mbura, the distinguished nominated Senator from Mombasa walked from where Sen. Njoroge is, across next to the Mace to where she has joined Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale? view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on a point of order, I want to correct the impression created by the distinguished nominated Senator from Nakuru, Sen. Njoroge because Sen. Bule, the distinguished for Tana River County was elected to this House on a ticket of the Federal Party of Kenya (FPK) which is an affiliate party of CORD. He has a signed pre-election and post-election agreement with CORD and deposited the same with the Registrar of Political Parties. Therefore, Sen. Bule has just come back home and we welcome him with both hands. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Motion is very important to us. It is disheartening that as Sen. Orengo started moving the Motion, a majority of our colleagues across the Floor walked out; I do not know for what reason. Senators like Eng. Muriuki who has a Motion coming immediately after this should know that when they choose to boycott, we shall do the same for their Motions. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sometimes I excuse my colleague because he is the age of my father. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: He is advanced in age. Voicing an opinion does not amount to prefecture. I simply said that many of our colleagues across, including the Senate Majority Leader and his Whip walked out as the Motion was being moved, for whatever reason. I thank you for being here. I beg to second this Motion. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not casting aspersions on anybody. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it was a preamble. I salute those who are still sitting across the Floor. I hope they will see things the way we see them. When President Obama was elected, there was a statement that was repeatedly made in quotation of Martin Luther King. He said that a man – I believe a woman as well – shall be judged not by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his brain and character. This is because the election of President Obama was a shattering effect to the nightmare of racism in USA. He ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: I hope so. When John Kerry came here, he refused to meet him for reasons that you know. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to urge Kenyans that days like tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, are days for us to stand together and show the world that this is a country with a great future, clear destiny and people determined to succeed. I want to tell the bigots in Jubilee who are practicing tribalism, who are connoisseurs of corruption, that they are killing the spirit of this country. When every other day President Uhuru and the Deputy President appoint people to ... view
