• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: I am on an intervention and also on a point of order. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not a debate, but this is an important matter. We are talking about the oldest and biggest university in the Republic of Kenya. This is the University of Nairobi which yours truly is an alumni. I do not know whether the Chair has looked at this answer. It has very curious statements--- view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: “Yours truly” in common English means the person speaking. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: I can only speak for myself, but I know many of these distinguished Senators went to the University of Nairobi. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: This Statement has three curious statements. In the first one, the Chairman says that it is with regard to why there was much acrimony and no one knows the exact answer. It is, probably, traceable to individual and community interests given the importance and seniority of the position that was being interviewed. So, individual and community interest have crept into the interview for the appointment of the Vice Chancellor of the top university in the country. Then he goes on to say that no one knows how the candidates’ marks and rankings were leaked and who the persons responsible are. ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: I want to invite you to direct that the Chairman, whom we have tremendous respect for, because he has been doing a very good job in this House, retracts this clumsy response and goes back to even carry out an inquiry by summoning the Minister and those involved to tell us the truth as to what exactly happened at the number one university in the country. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki and tell him; well done. You have moved this Motion most ably, most efficiently and you have done justice to it. Wole Soyinka wrote a book called “ The Man Died ” and in that book he says: “A man dies if he keeps silent in the face of injustice and tyranny”. Injustice is being meted on this Senate. This Senate must stand up in a bipartisan manner as a protector and defender of devolution. Regardless of which part of the political divide we come from, the people of Kenya ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: Everybody will be there and we will tell Kenyans that no Senator is fighting for a personal ego, no Senator is fighting for a person’s turf; we are fighting for the people of Kenya. Let me give you a few examples. Since we got Independence, Mandera celebrated having two kilometers of tarmac road after devolution came into being. The County of Marsabit, last year, graded 2,000 kilometres of road. Since Independence, they had never had more than 1,000 kilometres but cattle tracks. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: A county like Kakamega which today has been declared the poorest in Kenya in terms of household’s ratings will now get money to change the lives of people. Kwale and Kilifi which are classified as the poorest counties in Kenya have been given money and work is being done. The forgotten Turkana; now everybody is cascading there. Then there is Garissa. I want the distinguished Senator for Lamu to speak a bit more about land grabbing in Lamu. I can go, as a Kenyan, and buy land in Lamu. I have no right to go and appropriate myself land in ... view
• 6 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. The point raised by Sen. Hassan is very critical because we vote as delegations. This could be a Bill where whichever vote we throw in may not count much other than in winning the vote. However, we also have a contested matter where each vote counts. What happens if an illegible voter fraudulently casts a vote and tills the result of the vote? Will the Chair annul that vote and send us to back to vote? This is not just a question of delegations voting but legibility of the vote. Each ... view
