• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, it is wrong for the distinguished Senator for Garissa to refer to me simply as “he”. I am the Senator for Bungoma with a name. Secondly, I have not said that the Jubilee Government has done everything wrong. I said that the Jubilee Government has been engaging a reverse gear on devolution. This is common knowledge. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hope that the Chair will be consistent in this. Recently, the Chair resisted to my continued reference to one Sen. Kindiki as Professor and demanded that I cite his titles. Now that I have humbly requested to be referred to by name, the Chair has changed course. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, I want to urge that since we have very weighty issues ahead of us, we should try to bring to conclusion this Motion, so that we can go to the next matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he deliberately forgot to say; “my former boss” because he worked for me. I beg to second. This is a bipartisan constitutional matter. It is not the first time that Kenya is deploying its boys and girls or men and women to go and do international good. We have had Kenyans keep peace, enforce peace, maintain peace in many countries like Nigeria, Sierra Leon, Corte’ de’ vore, Chad, Darfur and far away in East Timor. When East Timor was going for independent elections, Kenyans were called upon The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was going to praise him in much more generous terms than that. We also remember that Sen. Wako was the special rappoteur on human rights in Suriname in what was then called the Guyana; the British, French and Dutch Guyana. He did a very good job not to mention other good things that he has done with a permanent smile on his face. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the distinguished Senator for Meru. We saw our troops perform a sterling job when they went to police the boundary dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea. We saw what happened in Mozambique and we saw our officers when the UN Protectorate mandate was coming to an end in Namibia. It was Kenya that was called upon. A distinguished Kenyan called Maj. Opande was the head of the combined UN force. I am told that a lot of Namibians named their children after Maj-Gen. Opande for the great work that he did. That is what our troops ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is diversionary, but probably the two Senators do not know what I know about this President. First of all, the Gambia was friends with Kenya in the Commonwealth and it has pulled itself out of it. Secondly, that President has declared himself, without any medical knowledge, that he cures AIDS, and everybody knows this. He does very many things that are bizarre. I have not cast any aspersions, but simply stated facts about him. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what aspersions I have cast on the President. I simply said what he has said he can do; that he can cure AIDS when he cannot. He also uses all manner of bizarre activities and it is common knowledge. Just do your reading. Go and google President Yahya Jammeh of the Gambia and you will see what is written about him. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me come back to the point. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. At an appropriate time, I will invite my distinguished learned junior for a lesson or two about what I was talking about. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to come towards the end of my contribution. 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
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those who are lawyers, like my learned Senior, Sen. Kembi-Gitura, will know that one of the greatest brains in our judicial history in this country, Justice C.B. Madan, whom we all quote with pride and admiration, had only a first Degree – he was never a Professor - and could teach you many things in law. You can go and read his judgements and see how brilliant he was. view
