• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we want to save this country from the problems we are having; and we want to approach these matters in a bipartisan manner. I would have expected that our colleagues, who are championing the interest of Mr. Boinet, to humble themselves and talk to the men and women on this side and say:- “Look, let us take this approach.” You cannot come here and expect to lord it on anybody and get away with it just because you are proximate to what you think is power. It is extremely wrong! view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge you that when the history of this country is written, you will be asked “who sat here; who said what and who voted?” We are not pursuing an agenda against anybody--- view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a question of my opinion. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that it is obvious that we are going to reject this nominee, I want the President to go through due diligence, allow other organs in the country, including the National Police Service (NPS)- -- view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I conclude, I want to urge the President of the Republic of Kenya that it now looks imminent that this House is unlikely to approve his appointee and I would, therefore, like to urge him to appoint a qualified person who will look after our security in this country. This is so urgent and critical. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: I am obliged to you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Chairperson of my Committee tell us, as a follow up to what the distinguished Senator for Samburu has said; that this volatile area has been engulfed in these serious security challenges between the Pokot and the Turkana communities since pre-Independence? The Government knows – not just this Government, but successive Governments; therefore, what measures will the Government take to ensure that there is adequate and proper policing between the two communities so that it is not left to helpless police reservists who, as you can hear from the answer, when they are killed, the Government ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Chairperson to confuse issues? We are not saying that reservists are Government employees; but reservists are quasi-government employees. That is why the Government gives them guns to do their work. The moment they are given guns, they automatically put them in the line of attraction and a line of fire. So, the Government must come clean and be responsible for their safety and compensation for their families, where they lose their lives. Is he in order to equate the situation with the Bill which we have ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what the Chairman of the Committee is purporting to rest on the Floor of this House. The situation in Eldoret is volatile, the university is closed, there is an ethnically engineered assault on the Vice-Chancellor and threats are being issued on a daily basis. In fact, the Vice-Chancellor’s life maybe threatened. I expected and indeed the House, expected the Committee to bring an answer to this House. In fact, they asked for tomorrow but you directed that it be brought today because of the volatility of the situation. You have heard the Chairman ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is in relation to what the distinguished Senator for Kirinyaga County, the Chairman of the Committee on Education, has said; that he is not here to give statements to please one or two people. Once a statement is sought, it becomes the property of this House. The fact that any particular individual Senator shows interest does not mean, he wants to be pleased. These are matters of national importance and we have a right and duty to follow. So, is it in order for the Chairman of the Committee on Education, who holds ... view
