• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, once given the microphone, I thought you had given me the Floor. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: On a point or order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I sympathize with the Chairman, the retired Judge, but obviously being an opposition Senator, probably he does not get the requisite urgent response from the Government. I want to urge the Chair that the point raised by Sen. Musila on the transfer of social safety net funds to the disabled and elderly people is such a critical matter to all our counties including your own county. What is happening today is that the money goes to the counties and it is handled by the so called County Commissioners. They are the ... view
• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to Sen. Murkomen reminds me of the Bible book of the Acts of the Apostles and of a man called Saul who, when he was on his way to Damascus, he was struck by lightning. I wonder whether Sen. Murkomen was struck by lightning this weekend. We now call him Paul. view
• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we were children we used to be told that there is a group of small men with big heads in Congo called pygmies. When you meet a pygmy, he will ask you “Where did you first see me?” You have to tell him “I saw you 10 kilometres away towering over every tree.” Then he will say “you are a good man, go on.” If you tell him “I have just seen you here,” he will knock you down. History tells us that men of small stature have difficulties in human relationships. They are vindictive, pernicious, ... view
• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I listened to the debate in the National Assembly and coincidentally if you look at a man called Mr. Mutava Musyimi, he is of very small stature and falls within those vindictive characters in human life. I witnessed a speech from Rev. Musyimi that shocked me. This is a man who has masqueraded for a long time as a Church Minister; a man who has worn the collar and stood before the altar and purported to preach the word of God, love, peace and unity yet I saw this man assaulting national constitutional institutions. I remembered what ... view
• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also saw him saying that the money being allocated to the Senate was for Senators to go and hold public rallies anywhere and everywhere. How false can that be? We urge our colleagues in the National Assembly to learn from the follies of history. After every election, 75 per cent of them are thrown out. Many of them are on that highway. They are dancing themselves lame before the main dance comes. When the main dance comes, wananchi will show them the way. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this morning, I took the unusual step of calling the ... view
• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have cases down there which we know, where things have not happened in the manner they should and we do not say but now we have reached a level where as the good old saying in Latin goes “ quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?” Who will watch the watchers? Who will guard the guards? The National Assembly has enormous powers under the Constitution. When you go to the Animal Kingdom, the biggest animal; the elephant, will never trample on a rat, a rabbit or an antelope. The biggest animal in the wild is the politest animal ... view
• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. view

• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, okay. Hon. Musyimi, the Chair of the Budget and Appropriation Committee whose conduct is highly dishonourable. view
